Legs Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Gang, I tend to be a bit funky about pick-ups, ie wiring them myself or keeping stock. I know what I want to put on my future Casino. As a geezer I'm mainly familiar w/ DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan. Does anyone have any suggestions fot the Hello Kitty Sguire Strat (1 humbucker) that I'll soon be hot rodding?

Hungrycat Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hello Kitty you say? Easy. An EMG 81 and a death-metal TAB book. But really. Duncan is just about the best pickups around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Well, you won't be putting any humbuckers in your future Casino, unless you want to have them made custom or buy the few dog-ear humbuckers I've seen on the market. Your choices are: Seymour Duncan Alnico Staple Pickup Dog-ear Mini Humbucker Stacked P-90 Antiquity P-90 Jason Lollar P-90 50s Wind P-90 Underwound P-90 Overwound P-90 Guitar Fetish Alnico Vintage P-90, Cream Alnico Vintage P-90, Black Gibson P-90 Lindy Fralin Hum-cancelling P-90 Rio Grande Bluesdawg, Black Bluesdawg, Creme Jazzdawg, Black Jazzdawg, Creme Baby Dawgbucker Teeny Dawgbucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more historically accurate, slim taper neck mounted at 16th fret, plus you get a nice hard shell case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legs Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm really probably not be modding the Casino. We're just looking at the Hello Kitty. Some local Metalheads are doing some of my tunes from D@W(Dinosaurs at War). I need to shred at some of their shows! Thanks guys!! Legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt7yosh Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Dimarzio x2n with coil tap to get strat tone and get humbucker. Or the dragonfire rail humbucker w/ coil tap. Sorry, I'm in love with this pickup right now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You folks are terrible influences. I had said I'd keep it to two guitars.....(what a liar I am). I can't see worth a damn... what's that bass in your avatar?:) Legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Flick Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I can't see worth a damn... what's that bass in your avatar? It's a Hofner Contemporary Series Beatles Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legs Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 I wanted a Hofner, but I ended up with a couple of Vox Phantoms (psedo Beatle Basses). BEAUTIFUL!! Legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I highly recommend the Gibson 490T. It's one of the cheaper Gibson humbuckers but I don't know why. It's easily coil tapable (unlike the '57 classic), wax potted and is a PAF pup. However, it takes high gain really, really well. Put one of those in that kitty with a coil tap and I guarantee it will rock as well as it will roll! Edit: I've got the 490R/490T combo in my SG and I've been having a whale of a time with this guitar today. On cleans I can get almost Fenderish twangs if I pluck right. If I crank things up a bit I can get really creamy blues (neck), early AC/DC ish tones (bridge) and early ZZ top with a combined setting. Then, with very high gain amp settings I can get searing harmonics and massive thrash or 80s metal power chords. On this guitar these pups aren't even coil tapped and they're still amazingly versatile. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn Greenfog Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've been telling people for yrs that I want a Hello Kitty Strat. That is just too funny. Let somebody call you an insecure male when you're playing one of those! AND if I had one I'd want to give it as much BALLS as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
