ok, here's my question.
The pickup configuration on my guitar now is a humbucker on both the bridge and neck positions, and a single coil in the middle.
It sounds fine for heavier rhythm playing and for flange and really "washy" sounds, but I want somthing a little different.
Alot of the stuff im writing is power chord based, but there is a whole lot of really intricate clean finger picking using different chord voicings, tunings, etc... (dont look at my avatar... )
My problem is that my "clean" tone sounds too synthy. Too electric. I dont want to totally use an acoustic, cause then it sounds too "folky". Can any of you recommend both strings and PU's that will give a more "acoustic" tone. I know a hollow body electric would help, but I just cant afford one now.
Maybe if I got a PU that was really hot? Im not sure...
All I know is that I dont like the clean sounds Im getting now. I almost like how it sounds more with the amp off and just playing the strings. hehe...
thanks in advance....
