Tango Strat Reboot
The name is on account of the colour changing to Candy Apple Red and the plan to install a hotrail pickup in the bridge for a "bigger" sound.

I will, in the new year upload a quick demo of the candy blue Strat with the Artec hot rail. It's pretty good!
Artec Alnico V Rail Pickup
So with the desire to have a more humbucker-like tone for the bridge position without going "metal" and within a very strict budget I figured the spec of this pickup might just work out.
The Tango Strat
First of all, let me explain why I call it the "Tango Strat". Sometime during 2016 I became obsessed with a colour I had seen on some special-run and custom shop Fenders - Candy Tangerine, a metallic orange.
Artec Hotrail in a Mexican Strat
I installed an Artec Hotrail pickup in the bridge position of my friend's Mexican Standard Strat today. He was looking to get a warmer and fatter tone than that of the stock bridge pickup.
