I'm assembling my first guitar, after wanting to such a thing for over 20 years.
I've been away from guitars for the majority of the time, only coming back to guitars because of my kids (bless their hearts)
So, I'm not well versed on what is what.
This strat is going to be presented to my boys' mother as a gift (she got the guitar bug to), but she is determined that she wants it all "Fender" parts. Needless to say, this isn't a surprise gift.
Now to the meat of the matter, Rosewood Fretboard, maple neck, alder body, S/S/H configuration.
Looking for nice range of tone, but ultra heavy metal sound isn't needed.
I'm looking at going with the Seymour Duncan SHPGP-1B Pearly Gates Plus in the bridge and Fender SCN noiseless neck and mid.
I know the sound of a pick up is a subjective matter, but is there anything glaringly wrong with these choices?
Oh, I'll also be looking for advice on how to wire these things up, I'll most likely do two DPDT switches (At least I'm aloud to use non fender pots )
Any advice is appreciated.
