Location: Canton,GA | I am having my pickguard cut but before I do have any of yall ever put strat pickups in a breadwinner or deacon? The distance between the bottom of the neck and the bridge will be tight for 3 strat pickups should I angle just the bridge pickup or all, the pickups are EMG's so the string spacing will not be a problem. Let me know all you Ovation Obiewonkinobees out there you are my only hope! (A misquote from the first Star Wars, how desperate can I be!!!!!) |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I guess it's a matter of taste. I think the original breadwinner pickups (the large single coils) even without the pre-amp sound better. Next I would use Firebird pickups.
To answer your question, just putting the bridge pickup at an angle will help those high's in that position. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | The problem will be the neck pickup. The 24 fret neck is too long and gets in the way of where that one should be. Bridge and middle shouldn't be a problem. |

Location: Scotland | Bill's right, on a Strat the neck pickup sits directly under where the 24th fret would be if it had one. Change the position & spacing of the pickups & you subtley change the tone. I have a Breadwinner with 3 Viper single-coil pickups which doesn't sound exactly like a Strat, and nor do I expect or want it to. It does provide a lot of convincing Fender-ish sounds though, especially bridge/middle & neck/middle. A great sound is all 3 pickups on, which is something standard Strat wiring can't do. |
