Hello. I was thinking about adding an extra switch to my strat, so i could switch the phase of one of the pickups. What pickup should I add it to (i have the usual strat configuration, having an humbucker instead of the bridge pickup)? How will it sound? Sorry if it's a dumb question... By the way, I tried to find conductive paint here in Portugal, and had no success. Does anybody know where can I buy it (on-line)? Thanks in advance, Pedro

I've found this at stewmac: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...EMG_Pickups.ssc Any suggestion?

Hello all. First of all, congratulations for the forum, it's an excellent resource for guitar lovers all around the world. I have a Squier Fat Strat, 1997, modified so that middle pickup tone control controls bridge humbucker instead (i've exchanged the capacitor from 0.033 to 0.012 uF, so that volume would remain stable). I'd love to improve its sound, as it becomes very noisy when I turn the neck pickup on, and the pickups don't seem to have a brilliant gain. I'm thinking about shielding it with conductive paint, as explained in GuitarNuts. Do you think it is worth the effort? What else can I do to improve it? I thought about changing the middle/neck pickups. What do you guys advice me? What brands/models would be more adequate for a Strat? I like to play heavy stuff, essentially solos. But i like to feel the vintage sound too, sometimes . I saw these burn tri-sonic http://www.wdmusic.com/burns_trisonic_pickup_29701_prd1.htm at WDMusic. Is it feasible in a strat? I saw this, and thought so: http://home.wanadoo.nl/gitaar-in-tune/inde...ter_ala_May.htm It would be wonderful to read your opinions . Thanks a lot, in advance Pedro
