Thought this would be the place.
This guitar has been my #1 Strat for many years and I bought it in a pawn shop around 1990. It has a nice resonance and notes seem to ring longer both unplugged and plugged in. Just a lucky break.
I put a new neck with medium jumbos on it a couple of years ago.
It has two Antiquity Surfers and an Alnico 2 Hot For Tele Tapped bridge pickup that MJ wound in the Custom Shop.
The 5 way switch is wired for:
1. HOT Tele bridge pickup
2. HOT Tele bridge pickup and Surfer neck pickup
3. Surfer neck pickup
4. Vintage Tele bridge pickup and Surfer neck pickup
5. Vintage Tele bridge pickup
The mini switch adds the MIDDLE pickup to whatever the 5 way switch is set for and I can get TEN tones with this arrangement.
Something similar could be achieved with a tapped Strat bridge pickup like the Quarter Pounder. But I wanted to use a Tele pickup like Lowell George used.
