#mimstrat

Completed a bucket item list. 12 years ago I got an MIM Strat body and little by little I've pieced this together. This is a Billy Corgan signature clone as best as I can make it. (new one is about 2 grand.) The original schematic listed the Fast Track 2 at the neck, Chopper in the mid and Pro Track at the bridge ... And that's what I did ... later on Billy came out with his own signature BC-1 and Bc-2 DiMarzios leaving the chopper in the mid. But I had already went through the nightmare of installing the original set so ...eh... I had his signature neck on the wish list but they discontinued it , so I settled on a 70's Ventura toasted maple bullet and modified it for the 4-bolt configuration. I put Grover romantic locking tuners on it and blocked the trem. I'm really at odds, having completed such a long and tedious journey. #stratocaster #strat #mimstrat #billycorgansignatureguitar #billycorgan #fenderstrat #fender (at Linville Gorge Wilderness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpXrr3geQg/?igshid=1g8q76krqlp0j

Multiple combinations. I came up with this wiring design inspired by DGB's 3sw30 wiring, using 2 4PDT On-On-On toggle switches, the one closer to the tone pot manages the pickups tapping, so on top position all three pickups are tapped, in the middle position the neck and bridge pickups are full coil and the middle tapped and in the bottom position all three pickups are full coil. The switch at the bottom works in conjunction with the standard (CTS) 5 position switch. When this toggle switch is in the middle position, if acts as a standard strat wiring; when the toggle switch is down, in position 1 is bridge pickup, position 2 bridge and neck parallel, position 3 bridge and middle in series, position 4 bridge and middle in series and neck in parallel, and position 5 neck pickup; when the toggle switch is up, in position 1 is bridge pickup alone, position 2 neck and middle in series and bridge in parallel, position 3 neck and middle in series, position 4 neck and bridge in parallel and in position 5 neck pickup alone. So, removing all redundant position, this wiring and pickups give me 26 distint sounds. #straturday #fenderguitarjunkie #fenderguitar #fenderstratocaster #fenderstrat. #mimstrat #moddedstrat #modifiedstrat #electricguitar #guitar #strat #stratocaster #fendersofinstagram #stratpride
