I love project threads like this. Excellent work so far!

This makes me want to build a clone of Mark Knopfler's red Schecter Strat. That's pretty much the only "celebrity" guitar I'd be interested in cloning.

I updated the earlier pictures so they are easier to see. The guitar is wired, but I think I have a few solder joint issues so I need to open her up again and re-heat a few. I'll snap some photos when I re-work the electronics.

Re: Dave Murray Strat Build Thread

Hi Folks,

This is my first post on this forum. I've followed this thread since a few time and it really gives a lot of information about this project.

I'm doing the same one for lefthanded players. I would the guitar be as closest as possible from the original (not the Fender Signature).

I'll post some pictures in the future.

Could you tell me, what is the wiring scheme for this one (I mean HSH 3-Way selector). Have you got a picture ?

I've bought 2 old DiMarzio Pickups (PAF + SuperDistortion) but haven't received yet. It is original early 70's. I think these ones have only 2 wires besides 4 wires. Is it possible ?

Thanks for your answers !

PS : I've ordered a pickguard on Warmoth without Volume Hole, thanks to you

Re: Dave Murray Strat Build Thread

the dimarzios have a different wiring color code than the seymour duncans
so the diagram I posted for you in the pickup lounge thread will need to be modified

the SD diagram Black becomes red
the SD diagram red becomes black

everything else is the same

good luck
and welcome to the forum

Thanks Guy,

Your help will be very helpful. That's the only thing that I needed.

I'll post some pictures in the next message

Cool! You only need two-conductor for this guitar wiring since Murray only uses B, M, N and doesn't split the pups.

I've got a week off ! Starting to build my project.

Do you think I need to post a different thread ?

Dead Thread Resurrection! I looked through this and realized I never posted the final product! Here are some photos.









I updated the build on my blog, so you can check it out there as well: http://www.hammersandchords.com
