heehee there's an article on the ST today with that exact line: It's all about being able to talk the talk AND walk the walk. The headliner goes "What it really means to be a Young Adult".

Hm, yea good recomm, I'll drop Malc a Q soon. I must admit that I face some inertia in making modifications to the more expensive axes though. Like for my yuriy strat, I'm almost inclined to leave it intact, and so far I feel that it's great as it is, so no real push factor to want to mod it, but I guess I won't stop wondering "what if...". hehe

true... but I'm hesitant to even change my strat's 3-way pickup selector switch to a 5-way one! Jia lat. Never mind, the tele will be the first!
The 5 way is a good thing to have, unless you never use the in-between positions.
I find on certain voiced strats, I prefer the 3 way, whereas on others I prefer the 5 way.
On the 3 way in between is also possible, just irritating to get it there IMO.

Yup, currently it's more of a good-to-have than a need to have, so no push factor. I've been using the in btwn thingy for a while, but it's irritating to get there and keep it there.
So you prefer 3-way for what type of strats? I'm guessing woods+pickups are the key factors here, so which combis have you experienced some preferences with?
Tks

Thanks man... I'll definately check his stuff out. Seriously nice stainwork on yours man...
Does he do bolt on stuff? Looks like most of his stuff is set-neck. Maybe I'll drop him a line...

But that's just the thing. I do want that silo shape, because it's small and comfortable. If I wanted something big and nice, I'll buy a Gretsch White Falcon!!!:mrgreen:

The JP6 has a very thin neck lei... thinner than a AT300, and a JS, I think...
And it sounds like a tone-monster, despite the DiMarzios....
That's why I still think that's the best commercially made guitar I've EVER tried.
Just wish it wasn't made in Basswood. Maybe I'll buy a BFR!!!:twisted:

Eh... I don't want flat lah... that's why Steve's Special Otherwise I'd go PAF Pros... whahahaha... weedy tone...
They say the Megadrive is very close to the D Sonic, which honestly, isn't too bad. But I found it too warm. That's why I didn't want to keep it on. The D Sonic isn't as flat, and mre meaty, but to the point that I can't really tell the difference between the D Sonic and the neck pup! Whahahaha...
Yes yes! PM me when you change the neck and give my the sublime pleasure of knowing the differences rubbing your hands up and down the long and thick guitar shaft!!!

wow, thanks alot shredcow
I prefer the 3 way on vintage voiced, 57/62 pickups on alder body and RW finger/b.
Because I don't use the in-betweens on this guitar, individual pickups give me the exact tone and it has nailed it head on. And the pickups are quiet (maybe I'm lucky?) so I don't miss the hum cancelling at position 2 and 4. Very clear and bright guitar, I use this for funk.
On the 5 way, I have a fralin vintage hots with an alder body, maple finger/b. The 5 way was stock, I use position 4 a lot on this guitar. It retains a lot of the quack when in humbucking mode so I have no problems with this. I use this a lot for blues and it works great when pushing the amp at volume.
Also on a 5 way, CS 50s SC on ash body, maple finger/b. The 5 way came stock, BUT I don't use position 2 and 4 on this guitar much. And I didn't change to the 3 way. In position 2 and 4, the quack is still very strong on them but I prefer the tone on the individual single coils. 5 way is useful, but not something I'd die without. Very clear and bright guitar, I use this for funk.
Not sure if it makes any sense to you, but I try to tie down a musical style I play with the guitar to give some idea.

cos petrucci is a shred master xD look at the way he spasms! he cant control them! even for a slow solo he has to spasm a bit here and there =x
hence a super thin neck for his model

I actually use 1,3 and 5 more than the 2 and 4 positions, but I for some reason cannot stand a 3 way switch on my strats... whahahaha...
That's a good one. lol, maybe you're just used to it having a 5 way. And you like the feel of having to use a 5 way switch?
Or... you'd want your strat to look like this.
