Getting a strat sound on a humbucker guitar
Discussion
Hi,
Have owned a lovely Yamaha SF700 for probably 25 years now and it's a keeper.
Whilst i enjoy the heavy humbucker sound i struggle with funk style music in my coversband and don't really want to buy a strat or other single coil pickup guitar to keep swopping between songs.
Without butchering the looks on my Yamaha how can i resolve this, a guitar friend suggested a tech could probably rewire one of the existing pick ups along with one of the existing tone pots to a coil tap type ?
Would the neck or bridge pickup be best and will this work or to get a proper authentic sound or do i really need replace one of the pickups,
