You can get that fizzy modern pop sound that's called "punk" by the industry today by using just the bridge pickup, and setting your amp for shedloads of gain. For the British punk sound you still use just the bridge pickup but you'll need to tweak your EQ more than the gain.

For your final question, a Gibson SG is best played using the Angus Young method - everything up to 10 and no FX.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Alan Green https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-punk-sound-from-a-strat/#post-380150 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-punk-sound-from-a-strat/#post-43728 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 06:41:40 +0000
Out of curiosity: If you were to give the same pickup advice but with a 500-600 dollar range Gibson SG instead of a strat, what advice would you give?]]> Guitar Players Discussion 180digi https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-punk-sound-from-a-strat/#post-43728
