The Stratocaster guitar pick-up configuration is one of the most versatile pick-up set ups around. The struggle has always been all about the noise. I know as a pro player on the circuit, the noise that accompanies single coil pick-ups makes stop just short of pulling my hair out. Over the years, many companies have introduced stacked single coil sized “humbuckers” to the pick-up game. While many fall short of sounding like a genuine single coil, a few companies like Dimarzio, with their Virtual Vintage series, and LACE, with their Holy Grail series, actually have come up with designs that hit the mark.

TESTIMONIALS
1967 Gretsch Brought Back To Life!!
I came to Twelfth Fret with an all original 1967 Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean which I had purchased online. The guitar was barely playable, would not tune and was just a very expensive disappointment. After a consultation with Scott, he came up with a plan to see if this guitar could be brought back to life. After great communication, Scott put his skillful hand to work and gave me back one of the greatest guitars I have ever played!
I went from totally disappointed with this guitar, to it being one of my favorites. I don’t know how Scott did it, but unbelievable. Great communication throughout the process, incredibly skillful work, and most of all just a real desire on Scott’s behalf to bring this thing back to life as best he could. I went from having totally given up, to very boastful to own this guitar. Completely blown away.
Absolutely no hesitation bringing any future projections to Scott and the rest of the staff. Thank you so much!
