I am tired of trying to fight the noise and hiss of strat bridge and neck pickups. I want some stacked single coils. What are the stacked SC's that are best for blues and general rockin' out? Rory Gallager sounds to Bell Bottom Blues to modern Wilco sounds and Tab Benoit.

I am to go in the studio in a few weeks time, and realised my pre-amp tubes are almost 2 years old, guess i need to replace them. I recently changed the power tubes to Electro Harmonix-EL34's (what a difference from stock!)
What pre-amp tubes do you guys think would be a good match, and what tubes are good in general.

Has A Dimarzio Air norton in the neck and a Breed in the bridge, black and gold hardware, original Floyd. It only has ONE ding in it.
Original molded case is included and I have the hang tag and the receipt for it.

What chorus pedals would have been around in 1979?

E .042
A .032

I wana put a little more lowend into it.

....an amp with power dampening or power scaling???

I bought a Tele body for my project, but I don't really want a Tele head stock on my neck. Will Warmoth make a Strat or Gibson headed neck with the flat Tele neck pocket, or am I stuck with a Tele neck? I'm shopping for tuners right now and I'm not sure what to get. I wish they were open weekends!

i've come across a Jeff Beck sig. strat yesterday, from 91' (that means she's 13 years old, i'll save you the calculation). she sounded great the wood has dried nicely, and its got some really cool hardware features, like spertzel locking tuners, a roller nut (could some one explain to me exactly the benefits of that?), H-S-S Lace pickups with a split for the humbucker and a booster i only heard of when i looked up details on the guitar at home.
