Hi there, great demo thank you for sharing this with us all. You explained it so well too. Was the DG 20 loaded pick guard just connected to the EC strat Jack socket? Or was it in any way connected to the original Clapton circuitry. Many thanks for a reply if possible. 🌌🌅🌠👍🏻

Is it possible to have the Gilmour Mod with this set? It is having the blend of neck and bridge pickup, like the middle position of a telecaster.
@saltyguitarsАй бұрын
That would be a great option to have! I find the Tele neck/bridge sound much more usable than the "in between" Strat sounds. My next project maybe! 😊

I remember trying a Clapton signature strat around '86 with the active boost. It was a nice strat but I prefer the tone of the EMG Gilmour set which I've used.

I've been curious to put the original Clapton (loaded) pick guard back in just to see how it sounds in comparison.

Also, I have two of these EMG set ups in my two Strats, though I have the SLV (Hotter SA made for Steve Lukather), in the bridge and neck with an SA in the middle, and it sounds killer.

I also stay between 0-6 on the EQ controls. I typically have them are SPC 6 and EXG 4, though I do roll them all the way down, or just use one or the other, as well as use them in between 0-6 based on ear. They make the pickups super versatile, and I do not require a boost on the pedalboard if I don’t want one.
