Go big, or go home...I like that (I'll have to steal that....lol. I agree with you dogod, I like the soung of a nice humbucker or two in my guitars. I suppose you can purchase a Strat with a humbucker, but I am not a fan of the necks.

Bah!... I am a double-humbuckin' freak

me too...my strats all have humbuckers and two out three are emgs...my warmoth has an EMG81 in the bridge, a stock single coil in the middle and an EMG89 (both emgs are humbuckers wiyh rails instead of pole pieces and the 89 has a coil tap) it's wired B>B+N>N>N+M>M that way I can combine the two humbuckers....my esp has an 81 and an 85 (89 without the coil tap) it's wired with two volumes and no tone so each pick-up has it's own volume. My kramer has 3 duncan humbuckers...and wired like my other 5 way....all three also EMG PA2 pre-amps...

Wow Hink...your guitars seem to be set up nicely. With all the EMG's do you play metal? I have always thought of EMG's as a metal pickup(Kirk Hammett, Zakk wylde come to mind). Is your Kramer a Sambora model with the 3 pickups?

Let's not forget Jimmy's double neck SG as well.

I had an SG, I kinda liked it. Traded it for a white Les Paul Custom, which I traded for the LP tha I have now (Heritage Cherry Sunburst Standard). I also have 2 older Kramer Focus guitars, 1 MusicYo Striker, and 1 that has a Kramer neck and components on a B.C. Rich Gunslinger body which is solid mahogany.

I don't care for stop bar tail pieces, my hardtail has the strings go through the body like a tele...on top of that, even though it's really an illusion, I see the strings as being abnormally high on sgs...les pauls are too damn heavy and I like a thinner neck....wider is fine, but I like it thin...but the biggest thing about both is the price...for either I could build two guitars (not just strats) with better parts, equal wood, better workmanship (I'm a fussy craftsman)...it just would have no name

as far as my style...it's whatever comes out that day, I call it beer drinking music, but I'm a huge Gary Moore fan...and I never tune my guitar to standard anymore

This isn't the official AT2 thread?! Oh! Honestly, this comes as a surprise to me.

Gary Moore is Cool. And I totally agree with you on the price of Gibsons now days. Quality has slowly gone down IMHO and price has gone up. There are some other guitar companies that I feel also gouge. Ibanez comes to mind with their Jem models. These guitars are averaging $2000.00 and for what? A bass wood body, passive electronics,????

there's one other thing about strat style guitars that is beyond critical for me...the placement of the volume knob...I'm serious too...I took a hole saw to a 72 tele custom to move the volume....but that's okay, I opened up the bridge cavity and put in an ivader, I routed the body and put a kahler on it (this was mid to late 80s) and finally sanded strat like contours into the tele body...it got stolen in 88...

Well spuddle, that is a very nice guitar, but a little pricey...
