I won't and don't...

Because Deluxes sound rather different that Plexi's

Wasn't that decal there long before Fender owned them?

I hope you took that comment with the humor it was intended. I find YouTube comments to be dubious at best 98% of the time.

By design? Probably not specifically but they also didn't see it as issue needing to be fixed either.

SMH... A youtube comment.... there's your first 10 mistakes right there... The saddles on every Strat ever made will move when string tension is removed. They go right back when you string it up. This is EPIC nonesense.

I have a Custom Tones Ethos TWE-1 that is pretty damn good. Pretty much the full range of gain is available and usable. The EQ is flexible. That would be my first option. I have others on the board and use them for variety and flavor when recording but I could get by with just the TWE-1. It also...

Donnie Darko American Beauty

I have built a number of instruments for myself an others over the years. Always used Warmoth parts and heve never had an issue with anything to date. Neck and body for a VH homage showed up a while back. Weather should allow painting to commence on that shortly..

My player is anything but what you are describing

Not if what you are describing is accurate.

Show him the door...

Build another guard with the single coil setup you want. This is an entirely reversible change. Don't like it? No harm, no foul

You will need to do a coil cut in position 2 to turn off 1 coil of bridge pickup. Its easy, you just need to know with coil to turn off

Put a rail humbucker in the middle position...

Well, that really depends on how we are defining terms... If a pro jr gets it done for you, then sure...there are lots of options in that price range. If you need 2 channels, a loop etc then I am not sure that is possible for 5 bills

If those are my options, I would take a $500 guitar and a $2k amp every time. You can find a lot of guitar for 5 bills, even these days. With a little know how, you can get even more. The amps are a little trickier to find the combo of sounds I would want in one amp. Like others have said...

No. It's not a shield, it's a coil.

Yes, it would be cheaper if I need to buy an area. Space for the coil is my bigger concern. There is not a lot of extra real estate in there without routing

Ive looked at those. They work but are pricey. I have an Area pickup to work with. If this works it would not cost me anything

I don't need t I shouldn't need to wind anything. The bottom coil on an Area should already be reverse wound

I may need to email dimarzio about this to see what they have to say

The bass cut circuits are great for high gain players

Remove that damn treble bleed. I have been down this road several times experimenting with treble bleed setups and they always caused this problem. I don't care who says otherwise. Treble bleed circuits mess with the sound. Use a LP 50's wiring if you need more treble when you roll the volume...

The engineer in me would say record it dry. The reality is that amps, pedals etc have a sound that the engineer simply cannot reproduce with studio gear
