Will dissconecting the middle pup on a strat make any difference soundwise? I have dissconnected the tone pots already, and i think it sounds a bit more alive.. You have guessed it...i like Malmsteen:)

Using Burmese Teak these days, does not sound good to me. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...nited%20Nations

...by the way. The guitar looks great!! Identical pickups would have looked even better.

i have one strat with a brass nut (malmsteen model) Does it sound "better" than any other strat? Absolutely not!

I really dont see the point...What are you going to do with this guitar? If you are going to use different tunings, it helps.

Ive heard that Steve Vai is going to have this on his guitars now.

Buy something YOU like. Asking for opinions about what pups you should have is like asking about what you should have for dinner tomorrow.

I really understand why he doesnt want to show us how that "thing" sounds like I would love to see him tune up that thing. I also wonder if theres a pickup under that cover at all..

Tonezone pickup, heavy strings and tune down to d. Youre maple body will love it!

it makes a makes a difference...but not as much as youre amp, youre strings, youre pickups or youre fingers and picks. Thats my opinion on the subject. I bet Van Halen (and/or the worst player in the world) would sound just like himself if he had either played on my all maple guitar or my mahogany/ebony guitar.

Here one guy not happy with a fender.
