Hot rod your Strat or Tele!
With hum-canceling side-by-side coils and twin-blade pole pieces, the Fast Track 1 dishes out solid
single-coil tone with some distinct advantages. The blade's magnetic field is continuous from end to end - no more strings
misaligned over individual poles. There's also less string-pull, eliminating the out of tune sound caused when magnetic pull
messes with the string vibration.
Most important is the sound. The Fast Track 1 has the same open top end as a single-coil
with a tighter, more focused bass response. Picking dynamics are intact too: Fast Tracks speak with the sensitivity of your
favorite single-coil, only about twice as loud.
If you use a hot bridge humbucker, try a Fast Track 1 in the middle
and neck positions. The Fast Track 1's enhanced output will better match the bucker's volume for smoother transition from
one pickup position to another. You can put a whole set of Fast Track 1 pickups in a Strat for louder, tougher tone. Different
combinations of Fast Track1TM, Chopper, and Fast Track 2, pickups can add guts and drive to any single-coil guitar. The DP381
is the Tele bridge version.
Recommended For:
All basic Strat replacement situations. The dual radiused blade
polepieces will handle all string-spacing requirements, and the magnetic field creates a very even string-to-string balance.
Tech Talk:
For any situation where single-coil sound with higher power and hum-cancellation is required. Can
be used in any position in a standard Strat setup. Also combines with bridge humbuckers such as PAF, PAF Pro, Fred, Air Classic,
Air Zone, Norton, and Tone Zone.
