Vaughn Skow Pickups

I wanted to try out a Fender Strat HH because I was looking for a more robust tone quality than the single coil Strats have. So, I decided to go with the more economical MIM HH Strat.  I was very disappointed with the blah quality of the HH sotck pickups that came with that guitar so I decided that I needed to see if there was someone out there that would give some advice on how to get a higher quality sound of the MIM HH Strat before making the decision to take it back to the store.  Luckily I ran across some of Vaughn Skow's YOUTUBE videos so I lookied up his phone number and email.  When I go to a doctor, I observe to see if the doctor lets me explain whatever my ailment is. Many doctors don't have time to listen to their patients.  Well, when I began communicating with Vaughn, I immediately noticed that he was willing to listen to what I had run into with my dissatisfaction of the stock HH pickups and that I was really into humbuckers especially those from Gibson.  I was very impressed with Vaughn's high level of expertise and with how he undertood what I was looking for.  Since I liked the tone quality of Gibson humbuckers, he suggested that I try out his "1959 Zebra Historic PAF Humbuckers.  I took his advice and I am glad I did cause after I installed those on the MIM Strat, it came alive with the humbucker juicy sound that I was wanting to hear.  Not only was I impressed with his expertise on pickups but I also observed that Vaughn is an expert on speakers.  In my collection of Fender Strats and Teles, I wanted to improve the tone quality of a Fender Deluxe Strat that I have so Vaughn made what he calls "Vaughn's Fat and Juicy Strat Pickups".  I installed those and the sound went from a thin twangy sound to a robust "macho" type of quality.  Vaughn is definitely a guru on pickups and speakers.
