absolutely right... Ive got a couple of springy bois and they've got their time and place but you cant beat a hardtail strat

@@carsandguitars A hardtail is a whole other animal! Definitely love a typical strat bridge for nice warm surf tones...but that's not my typical style. Nice video, and take care of those beautiful guitars!

will do! I appreciate the kind words@@holotape

Just get the Robert Cray signature, it's hard tail.

​@westonhogan1672 yeah I got the RC hard tail it's got a great neck too I slapped som lace sensors in it :)

One of my absolute favourite pumpkins songs to jam along with 🤘🏼

Turn left look right !

plenty more where that came from! haha

If you can… get one, you won’t be disappointed. Theres one or two on Reverb every so often and they don’t go for insane prices considering what you’re getting 🤘🏼

I just bought the black version today

@@garethdraper1228 we are here if you need to sell it lol. Nah congratz.

heck yeah! @@garethdraper1228

Thanks Jack! i definitely agree, such a good song! appreciate the comment... I've got something in the works with these guitars that i'll be posting in a couple of months... it'll have all the positions! haha

​@@carsandguitars😂

Cheers man! they do pop up occasionally, great guitars you definitely wont regret it

Thanks Andrew, they are such a versatile guitar, you would have regretted selling it! Cherub rocks a great tune to play loud... I gave it a good run in my recent 90s strat video!

Definitely get one if you can the pickups are amazing! If you can, make sure you get one that’s wired up the same way as the fenders not the ‘traditional 5 way strat’ way

@carsandguitars Yes, I researched it last night. The Dimarzio BC PG is not wired like yours. I want your style. They do provide the schematic. I CSI ed yours wiring and it is identical. I will email them Tues..

The #4 position on the BC strat is absolutely magic through a clean amp... it's like the 4th position on a regular strat but... x10 haha

Yeah they've definitely made a few throughout the years, I believe when these came out they were the only one on offer though.

oh nice! the matt black BC-1s don't seem to pop up as often as the purple burst and mist green. I've had my eye on a black Z-One... really keen to try one of those!

@@carsandguitars yeah I dropped lucky got it for about 50% off new price in mint condition about an hours drive from me. Ebay find! they come up sometimes. I dont really like the purple. I would have taken a white for sure as they look cool too.

@@Lovetone1983 dang it... now I've got these stuck in my mind haha

@@carsandguitars honestly worth a look as they arent desperately expensive. I havent tried the new Z-one version but its a similar vibe I think - personally I preferred the more angualr look of the original anyway. The pickups are amazing and you can get a lot of sounds out of it, even stock. I am considering doing some coil splitting down the line by way of a 5 way superswitch... I watched all the vids online and this was probably the one that pushed me into actively acquiring one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLKlgsth0trVips.html

@@Lovetone1983 I'll definitely try and check one out!

Appreciate the comment my man. Is your song on YT or anywhere? I haven't had a chance to try one of the JM Jazzmasters but I am on the lookout. Squires are some of the best bang for buck guitars out there, I've had a few over the years... currently have a Squire Contemporary jag and it's absolutely amazing.

Cheers man! yeah that was all just done through the clean channel on my little Marshall DLS15 with the big muff ontop.

@@carsandguitars such a simple set up, such a big sound!!

@@namtsur 100% says a lot about how good these guitars are.

Cheers mate. Yeah ebay or reverb are my two main ones, I've also seen them pop up on facebook marketplace occasionally

Ive been looking for a set of the red/blue/silver lace sensors to do a Mellon Collie build, is there that much of a difference between those and the BC dimarzios?

@@carsandguitars yeah, actually if I use the BC Strat which has the BC pickups, it squeals very easily with the replica Mellon Collie rig I have. That can be a good, or bad thing depending on your preference. billy described it the best way, “it’s like “riding a storm”, you’ve got to try and control the guitar and stand in the right spot to keep it from squealing. It’s a lot of work, whereas the Lace sensors just do it naturally. I bought a loaded pickguard from Lace with a photo of the color scheme I wanted. The photo was zoomed in on Billy’s Strat that still said “I love my mom”, but you couldn’t see that from the photo, yet THEY STILL KNEW WHOSE GUITAR IT WAS! 😁 It’s a black pickguard, with white pickups, I have a photo of the beautiful wiring work they did and even tagged them on Twitter, with a nice reply from them. So that is for my blue ‘75 hardtail. I also have a 2002 Highway One Strat with vintage 90’s Lace Sensors, and to me they don’t sound any different from the modern ones. I also use the Lace with my JCM 800 that has KT88 tubes. Those tubes will stay clean at a high volume, so the Lace sensors won’t squeal very easily (if at all) like the BC pickups will. The tone of the Lace’s match the opening to Cherub Rock, Today and so many others so perfectly, especially with the blue (neck) pickup. It’s insane how perfect it sounds! If you use the Red (bridge) pickup to play the clean tones, it sounds very shrill. The blue pickup has a wonderful warm bell tone that makes me love Strats so much. I think I play the Blue pickup the most because it sounds good with Drown, or Starla, or any other SD era clean tones. You’ll be pleasantly surprised I think?

@@carsandguitars BTW, I recorded it using isolated drums and lyrics, everything else is me playing. I should’ve uploaded the version without the vocal track so you can really hear all of the guitar parts. Actually, I wish Billy would release an instrumental version of Siamese Dream. Soma is such a better song than I ever thought possible when I listened to the instrumental version from the Deluxe reissue.

You should try the Railhammer Z-One, one of... if not the most articulate pickup I've played.

hey mate, combo of the wah and phase90 for a second there

Love it! Cheers mate
