NGD: First FCS foray (strat content)

[Budda]

Well GAS won that round .

2019 Fender Custom Shop 1965 strat in faded 3 tone sunburst (9.5” 6105) with flame maple neck and handwound ‘65 pickups. Visited my friend for a setup hangout (and he wanted to try it, of course). Now that it’s dialled in Im digging it a lot. Hoping it’s a long term deal! It did come with all the accessories and the back plate is currently on my desk.

I’ll add some clips later!

The goods:

All I got for Easter was a chocolate bunny with the ears eaten off.

Pickups sound good. The bridge clean is bright, yet warm.

And wired to a tone knob already - not sure if it was factory but Im on board.

My '64 has that, too. Works great! Thinking about getting the Ilitch dummy coil trem cover....

Very happy with my Ilitch backplate.

Very happy with my Ilitch backplate.

I wonder if they have a setup that'd fit my snakehead Tele....

The Dawgtown 5/2s sound amazing. To ditch the hum would make me very happy....

I would probably recommend the Ulbrick NRS for a Tele, as it’s a coil type of system:

Yeah I need an empty house so I can fire up the big one with the fuzzface and try “that tone” haha.

I have a buddy who got one or two, he loves them.

It’s doom paul day then more strat time this week I think.

Was that Plexi clip the Axe-Fx or an IRL amp?

Axefx3 - 6550 plexi, cant remember which cabs (factory I think?).

The superlead, 5150 and board only get recorded for my lunchtimetones IG clips at the moment.

Went to bed late last night, but checked out the Frudua method for floating trem setup and got the 3 semitones on the G as described. Now I have to decide if I want more relief or raise the action (neck is very straight).
