Brierley Pickups: VINTAGE 60's for Stratocaster

Mick Brierley: My friend, collaborator and regular backbone to my sound was given a small challenge: "Wind me some 60's Strat pickups with A5's please Mick!". He did. I was not disappointed. I thought the Sweet-tones were good (and they are) but these are something else again. Plenty of chime but a little darker and smoother... a perfect match for the lively chunk of wood that is my Fender CS '56 RI Strat - my favourite stage axe. I could go on. Just have a listen.

I've used a Vibrolux built in Fractal Audio's Axe-FX II (FW 1.06) because that's what I use on stage - this guitar and that machine. I can't fault the Fractal stuff, it is has been a godsend. The combination of Mick's old school knowledge and skill and the sublime tones of the Axe-FX are everything I could want at the moment.
