hmm funny. must be my washburn then. it's got LP spec'd pots and caps (500K, 0.22uf) instead of strat specs (250K, 0.47uf)

agree that hot rails doesn't have the twang. but it stills sounds realy strat to my ears.

used to have the Hot Rails in my Squier Bullet (bridge position), that's when i heard zilch strat tones from it. it's a wonderful humbucking pickup for high gain though, that would suit many guitars.

i currently have the Hot Rails in my Tele & the tele honk was lost with this on board but that was the least of my worries as i intented to do away with the honk...

just get the Fender Iron Maiden strat...

btw how come the frets look 'slanted'? is my eyes playing tricks on me or isit made like that? :?

 

[thor666]

lighting and camera angle. i'm sure iron maiden doesn't play with slanted frets....

 

[siva]

wat are the pickups in there .. only c a lil 59 .. wat abt the others

 

[pooo]

Maiden's signature strat's have Hotrails in both neck and middle, with the JBJr in the bridge.

 

[subversion]

yup, frets are straight, this one's affected by the camera angle, definitely.

 

[Vaiyen]

um, is the screaming demon suitable for things other than metal?

 

[pooo]

Why not?

 

[Vaiyen]

What do you think Sub?

 

[thor666]

contrary to its name, the screaming demon is actually a very well balanced pickup.. would definitely be suitable for most styles of rock to metal.

don't let the george lynch nametag get to u - he actually doesn't use the recommended SD guitar fretboard (uses maple fretboard instead) and if you check out the SD forums, most people point his tone to amp tweaking more than his other equipment.

thanks, thor.
