Hello,

J bought my strat us in 2000.
J liked the sound of the neck pickup to the bridge pickup limit but slightly changing the equalization of the amp.
The middle pickup hum, no character. As for the intermediate positions, they were just too bland. These positions m not really inspired, I found the sound really soft ...
Playing mainly blues, I did not. J wanted me to make a small gift with new pickups and I thought a set fender strat 62 strat sound to find that I had in my head.

In searching the net I came across Tornado MS mics.
C is true that buying equipment that we only know by notices found on the web made me think two times before I start.
J've sent an email to Marc de Tornado in MS in order to have additional information and did not answer quickly.
In short, all this made my confidence. In addition, the idea of ​​installing rigs manufactured as at the time, by hand, and I liked French.
The order placed, I got the set L Series that I have chosen, well packed, very pro.

When replacing the pickups, I haven had any problems at the technical level but to adjust the height of the pickups have royally screwed up day.
In fact I had set too ready ropes, which caused a frieze from the 12 th box with magnetic effect. So the guitar sounded like a potato. I took a luthier appointment for a full adjustment.
So pay attention to the adjustment made to do so by a pro or qqu one who knows the risk ca be disappointed (a good guitar with good pickups improperly set n not provide all expected benefits!).

That said, when I plugged my guitar, ca was first of a shock. J had the impression of having another instrument, I did not recognize my guitare.Je did not think the sound would be much changed!
M surprised two things:

1) The sound balance: All strings sound and an extraordinary relief. Agree, c is happiness, even attacking a little, nothing is messy, everything is precise low E to high E! But the icing on the cake is that the c n has no less than character, quite the contrary! There are many dynamic and can qualify his game softer aggressive.
2) positions: amazing, I have a guitar with more sounds now!
Can switch between micro al other without changing the equalization of the amp, everything is consistent. Also, that I am not a fan of the intermediate positions, I find myself using them more and more. In fact in all positions, I have the impression of having even under the foot, it's really what I was missing before and I was looking for. The guitar responds now, I feel alive and sensitive!

I think the strat, by nature is a guitar that highlights the personality of the guitarist. So I would not voluntarily reference to the sound of this guitar to say that these mics near the sound, there are many strats sounds that guitarists who play ...

That said, I would say that before day had a fender guitar, stratocaster now have a j.
