    Thumbs up

    That's really great about those pickups, Nelskie. There's nothing like the pleasure you get when everything all comes together and works like you dreamed it would. Tone Heaven.

    I've heard nothing but good about those CS '69 pickups.

    Did you guys here my Strat video I did a long time ago? It sounds pretty good with my CS 54s in the cheap strat.

    Exclamation Help playing the video

    Robert - Your videos used to work perfectly in my WinXP media player. Now this link (as well as the one on your Dophinstreet site) takes me to some third-party site, which requires a log-in and password, not to mention the installation of an Apple Quicktime Player. Since all I want to do is watch the video, maybe you have some tips to get around all of this hullaballoo? Thanks - Nelskie

    I am sorry Nelskie for the hullaballooing here! I posted the wrong address - it should be http://revver.com/video/22014/

    I am hosting videos on a different place so I can keep the bandwidth usage down on my site.

    One drawback is that Quicktime is needed...is it a pain to have to install it?

    I have a Radiator that I bought used for $150 US that I am quite fond of. I wouldn't buy one on my recommendation though as I don't have that much experience with different geetars.

    Tot, I posted a thread about it in the "other guitar" section. I would really like to know more about it....

Yeah, it sounded good stock. Now it sounds amazing.
    I also have a MIM 60's strat Nelskie.. Here lately I been thinking of seeing what a different set of Pickups would do for it although I really like the way it already sounds.. I would also like to make it into a Hardtail as I never seem to use the trem and thinking it might stay in tune better with a block although it stays pretty darn good already... Let me get this right now.. the trem block is used for this purpose correct? I been going between the 57/62 set of pickups and the 69 set... I guess I want to stay in the 60's tone with this guitar... I might just have to break down and do these mods.. if nothing else I can buy another strat to put these items into later.. oops.. GAS..

    I found a website which has some clips of various stratocaster pickups, and the CS 69 tone is my favourite.
