Ways To Make Your Stratocaster Sound Like Jimi Hendrix.


If you have Fender Stratocaster, or Squire Stratocaster, but you wanted vintage sound like 50's-60's-70's Stratocaster, this is not impossible!!!.
First, you must modified the TONE CAPACITOR. Many of today Stratocaster using 0.022uF, 0.033uF, or 0.047uF capacitor size. Make no mistake.... capacitor is very influence for the tone, although you set the tone till full, it will remain influence.
50's and 60's Stratocaster using 0.1uF capacitor size, 70's using 0.05uF (0.047uF if not in 0.05uF size)
Second, GROUNDING.This day, potensio to potensio in grounding. Not use in old days, The more there is a lot of grounding, not going to be more pure tone. So if you want vintage sound don't be afraid of NOISE, some time noise can be postitive, for feedback, and guitar sustain too.
Also on the back of the existing body of, who had no ground wire connect to ground or to ground potensio input jack. Where it is up to who. only if you cares with detail and likeness years 1954-1963, the per-connect grounding cable to ground input jack, connect current 1964-to potensio.

that's all my tips and information, hopefully helpfull for you, who love VINTAGE SOUND :D
