Is it better than average? Fender American Deluxe Strat

Описание: Looking at the guitar I use the most when playing with a band - my 2010 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster that has been modified. I changed out the Noiseless Fender pickups for a Fender CS 69 in the neck, a Dimarzio Red Velvet in the middle and a Seymore Duncan 'lil 59 in the bridge. I got a Mint Green pickguard that I find more pleasing than the Tortus Shell pickguard it came with.

All the sound samples are played through a Kemper Profiler which was using a profile of a 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb for clean and slightly dirty sounds. The higher gain rock sound was with a Plexi profile. The pedal I used is a Kemper Tumnus Deluxe.

As said in the video, the sound of a CS 69 pickup in the neck is THE sound of Fender Strats to me, and it works reasonably well for the position four, neck and middle, quack sound that many also view as the sound of a Stratocaster. I don't use the bridge pickup as much unless I'm playing a dirty or overdriven amp.

If you're interested, the video was recorded with a Canon M-50 with the kit lens, and editing was done on my Mac Mini using Final Cut. The audio for my voice was captured into the camera with my Rode Videomicro microphone on the camera. The audio for the guitar was captured directly into Logic Pro from the Kemper Profiler through an Antelope Zen Go. I combined the two audio sources in Logic Pro and then imported the mix of them into Final Cut for the video.
