Hey all,
I have a loaded reissue pick guard assembly (w/ shield) that appears to be off of a AVRI 57/62 strat. I have loaded it into several strats, including my favorite, and find that it is way too bright - in all 5 positions. I play through a DRRI and SFPR (already bright) and have to put the amps treble on 1 to make it work - and then barely.
Beyond the brightness, the pickups seem good, and I am wondering it the tone cap or some other wiring problem could be the issue?
I did check...the pots are 250K and the tone cap is .1uf. Any clues? I am stumped....this strat is an American Standard with rosewood fingerboard and is very mellow in stock form.
I am not aware that the reissue pups are known for brightness? I have CS 50s and stock delta tones to compare too and neither sound like this.
Any thoughts?
