Santa brought me a single coil-sized humbucker for my ‘90s Strat. It’s the first time I ever soldered anything, so when I restrung it and took it for a whirl, I was nervous. But, goddamn, it sounds awesome.
When I was in college and ran into a bit of cash, I went to buy my first non-pawn shop guitar. The sales guy asked me what sound I was looking for. I said, “Shag carpet.” Adding this humbucker to my old Strat means I once again can get that shag carpet sound. Loud, deep, and fuzzy as fuck.
