The blue sparkle Jag is looking awesome as ever (I think you meant '62...ask me how I know... )mbene085 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:21 pm
Also, I wouldn't want to step on the toes of my '63 Jag, which is rocking a very similar theme.
Thanks for trudging through my many ramblings! I'm glad you eventually found the right one. I agree that 7-way switching is the bees knees. That and wiring the second tone control to the bridge pickup should be standard procedure for every strat IMO, though for my purposes I'd probably like a single pickup Musicmaster strat nearly as much. It's just such a satisfying tone. So who knows, whether I go with Tele style 3-way or 7-way, I definitely want neck and bridge as an option. It's positions 2-4 that I don't really need. I don't use the quack for anything at all and the only middle pickup tone I really like is Doug Martsch's gold lace sensor, which I have covered by my Marauder.
It's weird, I'm usually all for overcomplicated wiring schemes, but part of me is wanting to keep this one simple. Maybe the cheap part, given how pricey Kinmans are. But the Quiet Coils are only available as sets right now, so I'd probably wire those with a 7-way if I got them.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good guitar yarn.
Go with what works for you! Simplicity is always a great option! In my case, especially after I slog through wiring up something complicated.
