G'day and happy new year powderworkers :-)
I have a question for the other guitar-heads on the list. Can anyone tell me if Martin used custom pickups, or other than standard, in his Stratocaster? Single coil pickups can be noisy and yuck when given too much gain but Martin has played alot of different tones over the years. Could it be more to do with the choice of amplification?
Thanks !
Jim
