Some players find the
traditional Strat bridge pickup sound clear and sparkling, while others
think it’s almost painfully bright. You know who you are, and the FS-1
is for you. It’s louder (about 25% more power) than a stock
single-coil, and smoother and fatter-sounding all-round. When you
combine the FS-1 in the bridge with True Velvet in the middle and neck,
you’ll have a guitar with calibrated, balanced tone in all five switch
positions. For a bigger, more aggressive sound by and large, you can
also install FS-1 pickups in all three positions.
We didn't design
the FS-1 with a vintage sound in mind, but if you're trying to get a
blues sound from the bridge position of a maple-neck Strat, you'll be
very happy with the extra mids and bass, and the sound still cleans up
when the volume is rolled down
