Let's see your GUITAR!

i used to be a bridge pickup all the time guy...that developed because the only guitar i had was a 335 but i was playing Strat-based music much of the time. back then i used a Twin Reverb with the bass on 4 and the bright switch on. (this also resulted in me having what i call "treble-y hands"...everything i do was designed to maximize treble on a treble-deficient axe so now i can't really play e.g. regular Telecasters because they're too shrill). as i got less into rock bands and more into abstract effects shit i found the neck pickup more useful, especially with dirt which almost always acts as a high-pass filter. what really got me was when i got a couple of guitars--a Guild M-75 Aristocrat and a Gretsch Special Jet with DeArmond 2000 pickups--with absolutely gorgeous neck PU sounds. i literally set those up differently from most of my guitars which get the bridge PU optimized and the neck PU adjusted to match levels...i didn't want to do anything to mess up the neck pickups' sounds. i still play over 50% of the time on the treble pickup, but that's less than it was back in the day.

I got a set of Wilde (Bill Lawrence) Micro-coils for Christmas so I swapped those into my Tele. LOVE them and definitely keeping them in. Funny this thing has ended up back to more or less a standard tele after years of various pickup mods lol.

New favourite guitar is this '81 Lead II I picked up a little while ago on a whim.
Someone took out the phase switch and changed the pickguard at some point, but the rest is orig.
It's simple and rugged and loud and allows me to do guitar things without thinking too much, which is nice.

that Lead II is super rad. Passed up an 80's red/rosewood neck version at guitar center years ago and have never forgiven myself.
Picked up this japanese cort "electric guitar" copy a while ago for almost nothing. Neck is whoopped and haven't come up on a decent replacement neck yet.

neat! hope you get it built up.
i'm partial to the narrow nut width/vintage radius/somewhat hefty profile of the necks on the 80s ones, but I guess near any small headstock strat neck would look right.

agreed.
