Another Winning Bullet Hardtail Strat
The Perfect Working Guitar for Me
I was so impressed with my Fiesta Red Squier Bullet Hardtail Strat that I bought a second one. However, being on such a lower-than-low budget I had to be patient.

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.

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.

The cheap pickups (they cost £15) that I ordered weeks ago finally arrived and I installed them in the newly refinished "Electric" Strat. Originally a black Squier Vintage Modified 70s Strat, it is now an electric blue, late 60s/70s-inpired Strat.
