Punk originator, Johnny Ramone played the Mosrite ‘slab body’ model exclusively: like him, it was not at all mainstream and completely without frippery. He always used the DiMarzio FS-1 bridge pickup, a snarling, angrier Strat model. The neck pickup was just for looks; Johnny eventually had it disconnected. The fixed bridge kept its tuning under Ramone’s hail of downstrokes, and that was all Johnny asked of it. Johnny ran everything on 10, but if your own bridge pickup is too thin, try turning down the tone.
