Plot twist: it was Nick Mullen

Wow, that's disgusting! Where would someone go to get bombarded with these tech job offers? You know, so I can avoid them?

Right back at you. Give Bailey a scritch on behalf of all of us in the posting trenches.

It's OK, it's a $600 Epiphone. OP performed no investigation, and therefore has forfeited his right to you know, the thing biden-leftist

This is part of why tone-chasers (the second-worst kind of chaser) struggle with getting Hendrix's sound on right-handed Strats -- the polepieces aren't staggered symmetrically on that particular style of single-coil pickup, and they aren't adjustable without ripping apart the whole damn thing. Basically, this made his A and D strings touchier than they normally would have been on a right-handed setup, and his B and G are a little quieter. When you're playing through an older-style fuzz like a Tone Bender or Fuzz Face, the difference is pretty noticeable because of how those circuits react to changes in input signal volume. You can sort of accomplish the same thing by tweaking the saddle heights on a Strat, but this has the added effect of ruining the radius of your strings in relation to the fingerboard.

Incidentally, before the Russia/Ukraine stuff kicked off, there was this guy in Moscow that was selling custom-made reverse-staggered pickups wound to the Fender late-1960s spec for dirt cheap on eBay. I used a set on a partscaster build several years back, and while I sound nothing like Jimi Hendrix, I do really dig the oddball response on the low strings.

Thank you for coming to my a-guy talk.
