Awesome I'll see what I can dig up. Thank you!

Oh awesome! I'll definitely look into the used hss strats instead and try out the Rocker 32 and bassbreaker 18/30 (I had no idea this amp existed!).

I also wanted to get a cheap bass (something similar to Rich Meyer's basses) just to mess around with-- nothing fancy. I heard good things about the Squier Vintage Mod Jazz bass (link) and a Fender Rumble 25 amp (link). I will definitely try and find these used, but other than that, yay or nay?

Good suggestion. I was looking at the Dualtone and the Orange Rocker32.

I currently use an OCD and Clovenhoof together which isn't bad. I know he likes to use a TubeScreamer and Big Muff together. Considering getting an H9.

For cost purposes, I probably won't replace the pickups, but if I do in the future, these would probably be the pickups I'd get.

Considering this, I'll probably seek out a setup that's something along these lines: * Fender MIM Strat (link) * Duncan Vintage Strat Neck & Middle (link) * Duncan JB trembucker (link)

As far as amps go, there are A LOT of options. I know he uses a Fender Bassman and Supro Thunderbolt Plus, but would these be my best options? I really only need 15-25W not 45W. I also prefer something with 2-channels. What would you guys recommend?

Thanks this was super helpful, and you raised several good points! I never considered that his guitar couldn't be an original, pro or elite because they're newer models. Also, I've been to CME before for some wiring mods; they did an amazing job!

Thanks Blake!

I love Highly Suspect's tone including Johnny Steven's HSS strat. I was hoping that someone would be able to help me answer the following questions about this guitar:

• What year is this guitar?
• What type of HSS strat is it? (e.g. Mexican (standard/special/deluxe) or American (original/professional/elite) * Probably Mexican or American original
• What pickups does it have? (i.e. stock or other)
• What does the mod switch (& push pull pot?) on his guitar do? * Probably coil split

Ultimately, I want to buy the same or closest hss strat he has including adding the same mods.
