Hi guys
I'm trying to figure out how to build my guitar here http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=18800.0
Since I'm not getting much help there i guess i can be more topic-specific about the issues that trouble me in the various section of the forum.
So there it goes
I want to build a three pickup mustang, much like the Fender Cyclone. My dream though is to have a guitar that has both the clean and rockish (alternative and redhotchilipepperish much) fender sound and the classic greasy, rumbling sound a Es-335 gives you when playing the blues.
So i thought i could place an humbucker somewhere, no idea where since i don't no anything about pickups and how they react to position and wiring and phase and all that stuff.
I guess that since i want to keep the fender clean and distorted sound, bridge and neck must be single coils. The only choice left is middle.
So my question is: How is this going to sound? A pickup like Bare Knucle's "Stormy Monday" or even "Blue Note" (even though that's a P90) placed in the middle pickup position is going to give me the same (mostly) sound on a mustang body than on a Gibson?
How should i angle the pickups?
Bye
