right on. the 70s strats are a fascinating era for me. I did quite a bit of research into them and by a lot of accounts, they are the worst of all strat eras. folks talk about how heavy they were and the paint was pretty much whispered on, and the natural finish was also pushed hard, they were slammed together with cheap underwound pickups and shitty hardware, thanks CBS. all from what i've read and understand, not trying to claim expert status.
but nevertheless, a shit ton of killer rock and roll was cranked out on 70s strats right? lots and lots of classic rock, as we all know.
and tbh, i'm still wrapping my ears around these pickups on this 70s rig, they are measured output @ ~6k, easily the weakest pickups of any guitar i've owned.
