...I part company from the old school players who insist that hum is an integral part of the strat sc sound. I want the sound without the hum and I am pleased as punch to play a guitar with SCN's or Lace Sensors no matter what the old guys think of my disregard for tradition,


Good point. I also wanted a true strat sound, but wanted that single tone quack only quiet, so I can use high gain and not hear it hiss like a cobra. I got that now. The JB Jr/Silver Lace/Blue Lace is the perfect combo for me in that respect. Very traditional tones, but modernly quiet and more able to handle higher gain at louder volumes. Low and mid gains, and even clean, I get a wonderful traditional tone. With my Boogie cranked up, I can get a wickedly thick 2 and 4 position strat quack that can handle that ballsy Boogie gain very nicely, which is a very cool tone and one you rarely hear used.

There have been a lot of post lately about Srat Plus and Ultra models. Well being the owner of an Ultra I have to say not your typical strat but an amazing guitar. I was just thinking of how Fender just never hit it right with a humbucking guitar in my opinion. It is like Fender king of single coil guitars and Gibson king of the humbucker. I would like to know if the guys on the forum think it might be time for Fender to make a classic humbucking guitar. Now if they use a Strat or Tele shaped body I guess they just will produce a suped up Strat or Tele which we all know has been done before,So i would have to believe it would have to have more of a fresh and new body shape I also think it should be done in the vein of an Ultra with some hot smoking pickups and maybe with a bridge system like on a music man Petrucci that you dont need to lock but can take amazing abuse and if they dont want to do a differant body maybe they can just revise the Ultra but bring it up to modern standards as I think that guitar could be the ultimate metal machine as if you never played one it has everything.These are just some of my thoughts on the subject. So what do you guys think of Fender finally making a humbucking classic.


The Strat is the ultimate hot-roddable guitar. Stick a humbucker by the bridge and that's about as classic as you can get, as far as a Fender hummer.

I own a Squier M80 - one of their "Master series" of a few years back. Designed by Todd Krause with two Duncan designed humbuckers. Great rock guitar.

I been playing with a MIM Fender Traditional Fat Strat (HSS)
since 1998 and never really needed a second electric
it was the stocked bridge humbucker with the neck & middle single coils
that is doing the work
I honestly do not think I can get it on a SSS Fender Strat
the bridge Strat single coil is just not good enough for heavy amplifier overdrive
