Nice video Rich, I hope that pickup configuration works out for you. I've played one of those SRV Strats (in the mid 90s) once and I too didn't like the neck, I'm not sure but I think that was a guitar Stevie was working on with Fender before his untimely death. I know Steve #1 Strat was a 62' which probably had a "C" shape neck profile, he later had to replace the neck with another early 60's Strat neck, which also probably had a similar profile to the first neck. The underwound pickups I feel sound the best, there's a lot of affordable well made sets you could probably find on ebay. I have played around with budget friendly pickups and I really like the Wilkinson 60's pickups if you are ever curious about an inexpensive pickup to play around with. Anyways, I enjoyed the video talking about different setups, pickups, etc. That's just "talkin shop" to me👍 I do think that setting the height the way you had it where you can hear the volume and clarity difference in the picking attack is a smart choice, the volume pot also comes in handy for softening the tone. Enjoyed and liked the video Rich, I hope you have a great weekend! Keep on rockin!🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Hey thanks! Just Experimenting a little and trying to enjoy the journey. I took the shotgun approach with the other guitar I bought from Kenny’s parents, everything worked out great, but Kenny and I both found it much more comfortable to play than the SRV, from the get go, so it was easier all the way around.
@@dparel Thank you! For the most detail please see a fairly recent rig rundown: ruclips.net/video/zGhZ83Oc2NY/видео.htmlsi=70PXoxYjOA8MQJ7N In this video I’m playing through my entire usual live rig but at much lower volume than at a gig. Amp is a late 60s vibrolux reverb, overdrives are either a ts9 or plimsoul, delay is an ancient Ibanez DDL. modulation used at the end is an ancient Ibanez CS10. The board has a lot on it, but most of it is bypassed and brought in and out of the chain.

Great sound and playing! Curious what's all in your signal chain? Nice tones!
