    How "gibsoniser" / "The pauliser" a strat

    This micro original team in the bridge position, a lonestar strat of 1997, it is coupled with two texas special.

    This particular strat, I play for 8 years now, is dedicated / set (enhanced nut), play slide in open G tuning or standard, blues rock record.

    this mic is simply miraculous for all players seeking strats bridge pickup humbucker for blues rock, I meant, sounds way ZZ Top, Southern rock in general, very brief Gibson, Les paul way.

    The overall result is to obtain a grain relief "grainy" and "hoarse" in the mids, coupled with some transparency in the treble, which puts it on a vintage and modern at all.
    the output level is higher than the classic 57 example, or of burstbuck…

    this mic is simply miraculous for all players seeking strats bridge pickup humbucker for blues rock, I meant, sounds way ZZ Top, Southern rock in general, very brief Gibson, Les paul way.

    The overall result is to obtain a grain relief "grainy" and "hoarse" in the mids, coupled with some transparency in the treble, which puts it on a vintage and modern at all.
    the output level is higher than the classic 57 example, or of burstbuckers at Gibson, but below the modern humbuckers, eg type SH 4.
    this is an average output level, agreeing perfectly with Fender Texas Special.

    I use it mainly crunch way TS-808, in my deluxe reverb, tuning in open G.
    in this configuration I am always struck by the sound I get with this strat which is close to the spirit Gibson, George Thorogood way (one of my idols ...), however, obtained by this guitarist, specialist slide, on Gibson es-125 with P90 dogears.

    For clean sounds or light crunch, more typed "blues" (BB King, Luther Allison), I am less convinced, the classic 57 & 57 +, the burstbuckers 1 & 2 are silkier, less "angueleux and nervous" that the pearly gates, what, personal, suits me better.

    the mysteries of violin and electronics are so impenetrable ...

    Finally, I would say to fans of Gibson Les Paul that he should really be "terrible", mounted on a guitar of this type, it must ZZ Toper to death ...

    A link from one of my vid. with this mic in exclusive use.



    I put 9 (nobody's perfect), because he really coarse 'southern Texas and "blues-rock and gives a character a true Gibsonian Strat, which is no mean feat.

    I use them for a year and a half SZ520QM Ibanez neck and bridge position. Mine has a hood.
    Those pickups are very well targeted to the Blues and Blues / rock.
    For metal, they are not for ... Originally they were created for Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) to reproduce the sound of his 1959 Les Paul with a little more spice ...
    They are a little more rock than SH1 59 'and a little less than SH4 JB.

    I would do this choice knowing that they are not given ...

    Reading the previous opinion, I am a bit surprised so I decided to put me and a link to hear a little demo

    I really agree with the opinion below. I found the 4 sh just too loud in the treble, this micro there for me is a perfect 4 sh.

    Very good clean sound, distortion and very good in it enormous versatility and remains constant right. Me playing the metal to rock I conquered.

    I do not see it in default even some Personalities.
