Hey there to all proud fender owners, i'm hoping someone can give me some ideas to help me improve my tone. I play an american stratacoustic in a function band (not much, but it fills a few gaps) and my guitar has a tendancy to sound a bit harsh. I generally have a flat eq on the guitars pick up, and the line goes straight to the desk; no amp. I have recently tried running it through a boss me-50 with a touch of compression and reverb and that seems to have helped. To get an idea of the sort of tones i'm after, we play things like the feeling and the scissors sisters. Can anyone shed some light on how how i might improve my sound quality? Many thanks, baizemaster

I would start with the guitar. Pup height adjustment will change tone. String guage and brand will change tone. Capacitor value will change tone.

Experiment a little.
