I've just done a quick tune up and play-test of the Gold Strat through my Peavey Backstage amp and these new Dual-Blade pickups do sound really good, quite beefy sounding, what's more, I still get that Single-Coil vibe even though the pickups are actually humbuckers, so I'm very happy with them, also, I don't get any of that annoying hum that you usually get with Single-Coils, the guitar sounds very Strat-like and bluesy played clean, and it also sounds fat when overdriven too.
I'll give the guitar a proper setup and then I'll record a demo for you guys.
Update:
Setup work on the guitar is almost done, I just need to adjust the pickup heights and then it'll be good to go for the demo recording, I've set the bridge up so that it's flat against the body this time round.
I'll post a pic of the guitar once she's ready for the demo recording.
Here's a pic of the guitar all set up, tuned up, and ready for recording the demo:
And here's a couple of pics of one of my feline guitar-building advisors, sleeping on the job....on my little makeshift workbench in my kitchen, didn't have the heart to disturb her:
Don't you just love it when felines make themselves right at home.....hehehehe.
