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.
