    Default My Custom Pickups Set

    Recently I asked David Barfuss (a guy from Germany) to make me a custom set for my "Blackie" partscaster.
    I was looking for a John Mayer type of sound.
    So I sent him some videos from YouTube and asked him if he could make me such a set.

    The result was VERY VERY good!

    Here is a link for the custom set that he made me.

    You can hear the clip here (choose the first one)

    Keep in mind that:
    1) My playing sucks...
    2) The strings were already dead when i recorded it

    I used my Fender Pro Jr and a SM57 mike. The reverb and delay was added later on my PC.
    MY GEAR:
    Guitars: Gibson ES-335, Tokai LS160s LP, Rockinger strat 2-tone sunburst, Rockinger tele C.A.R., NS Custom Relic Tele, Epiphone Jeff Baxter electroacoustic, Admira classical guitar
    Amps: Fender Deluxe Reverb II, Tech21 TM30
    Main Effects Unit:     VOX Tonelab SE

    Those sound really great. So does your playing. Thanks for the tip about the pickups.

    You should consider playing on some of our backing tracks.

    Wow, that is THE strat tone! I really love the Pro JR sound too.. You play very good!
