pickups not very overwound, I just want them slightly hotter than normal ones because i don't want to lose much strat caracter, I want a nice compromise between a typical 60s strat sound and output to match the p90!

another note, all musicman axis necks are unfinished, or with a satin finish, i want a gloss nek finish because i prefer the feel of that, i have very sweaty hands. the headstock should still match the body> satin finish

i will also add the pictures mentioned for the other people on this baord to look at

normal strat pickups are only about 6K... so if you want them to match the output of a HOT 14K P90, (typical P90 is only 7-9K as well!) then they will indeed have to be VERY overwound! 

Probably you will have to lower the HOT P90 quite a bit, if you want to acheive volume balance with any 'normal' strat single coil...

i absolutely dont want complete volume balance! just a little closer if you know what i mean... single coils around 8 or 9k.

LOTS! Actually - too many for me to remember off-hand :)

CS-0015 and CS-0059 and CS-1946 come to mind - and you will be able to see a nice list 'one of these days" in the near future - as Shamray promised me he will be posting bios for all of our crafters soon...

STATUS REPORT:  we still have a BIG DELAY, due to lack of wood for the body. Stapanov wasn't satisfied with any of the Alder that Shamray brought him last week, so we are waiting for Shamray to bring more...
