Don't ask me why I'm watching this video
 ok I'll tell you, I'm transcribing the solo as part of my ear training with Gab. And I'll be honest with you, I was 9 years old, and I was a fan for a few weeks, I had all the clothing  You can watch the video until about 1:54 or you can click here to go straight to the solo >>> https://youtu.be/mEhkM3X_teQ?t=114 The question is, have you ever seen a Strat with those pickups and more to the point, why are there two pickup selector switches? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEhkM3X_teQ If you're interested, here's their story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0YihqJxiz8 This post has been edited by Phil66: Mar 26 2018, 08:46 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

The neck pkup on the Strat isn't a 'wide-range'. The pole pieces are all in one row. Check out the clip at 1:56. Probably a Gibson HB(?).
Why two selector switches ... who knows. It's a totally customized, late 60s or early 70s Strat. The 'Rollers were huge here too! -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (klasaine @ Mar 26 2018, 10:11 PM)  The 'Rollers were huge here too! At 9 years old I was a fan, until I was 9 and a 1/2 I've never really thought of them as more than a novelty band but looking at that documentary they did make an impact.

QUOTE (Sensible Jones @ Mar 28 2018, 05:15 PM) My guess is a PAF in the neck. Quite a common addition in the early 70's. As for the switching? Series, Parallel, Coil Splits? Could be any number of options! I don't think they played on their records so who knows what it may have sounded like - ? Looks cool though.
