Seymour Duncan APST-1 Twang Banger

Esta pastilla te acerca a ese sonido, la pastilla tiene mas medios y no desentona con las otras. NO suena 100% a telecaster, pero como un compromiso entre telecaster y stratocaster va perfecta.

Siempre he tenido la opinion de que la pastilla del puente de una stratocaster suena con poco cuerpo y, a veces, estridente, por el contrario la pastilla del puente de una telecaster me parecia mucho mas usable, brillante, pero sin perforar mis oidos y buena pegada cuando le pones distorsion. Si compartes esta opinion y quieres mantener el sonido a pastilla simple (nada de pastillas dobles en formato simple) esta pastilla es una buena eleccion.

Up until now I've only ever used Fender pickups. Fender not surprisingly concentrate on reproducing the famous and much sought after sounds that they are known for. Seymour Duncan (and Di Marzio, EMG, and others) are free to go much more extreme and creative in their designs and the Twang Banger Stratocaster pickup was the first to catch my attention. I've only recently acquired a Telecaster (less than a year ago) and just love the Twang. The idea of having Twang in a Strat really appeals! If I fit a 5-way Superswitch it is possible to have the mid position giving bridge and neck together (rather than mid pickup alone), so 1-Bridge, 2-Bridge+Mid, 3-Bridge+Neck, 4-Mid+Neck, 5-Neck. That should really Twang. The only question is which pickups to use together? Personally I've chosen: Bridge-Twang Banger APST-1, Mid-APS-2RW/RP Alnico II Pro, Neck-APS-2 Alnico II Pro. If I'm right, these are the recommended set and give a very well balanced sound. The reverse wound - reverse polarity mid pickup does effectively give hum reduction in positions 2 and 4. The only thing now is that curiosity is beginning to kick in and I'm wondering what a Twang Banger in the neck position would do to the overall sound. These pickups have a higher impedance than the Alnico II pro's and the copper plated steel base plate causes the magnetic field to become so strong that it even effects the mounting screws. After trying these for a few months now, I'm lovin' it! Positions 1-3-5 sound like a Tele and 2 and 4 sound like a Strat.
