Hi All,
I agree that most "vintage" kind of guitars are great for surf when they
got a trem bridge.
But in my humble opinion, there is also the fact that the Neck and
Bridge pick ups should be used together in order to get the "Surf" tone.
I think that is the reason why most don't think of the strat as a true
surf machine, but it can be fixed easely.
This is a real nice diagram to alter all types of strats into "mean"
surf machines.
Indeed there is the issue of single coil vs. Humbucker, but when the
bridge and neck are used together and switched during playing from
Neck+bridge to bridge (for more high end sound) and back and forth (like
Dave Wronski does) you get a very interesting sound color in your
playing.
Btw I just love Dave's modified Jaguar, the man is an amazing guitar
player, saw him preform last night with Slactone in Turnhout-Belgium.
