Sunburst strat project with Classic 70's neck seen here [bottom]
is now this
Got a new body/bridge and ditched a pickup/tone control. Has a 3-way switch and wired like a tele, tone knob can be used on bridge pickup, can do neck/bridge combo, yay hooray.
I'd like to live happily ever after, but who am I bloody kidding. It'll probably be purple/active with a 50's style surface-mount coke bottle opener on it next week.

[Thanks] it's got cheapo ceramics w/500k pots right now that came in a GFS pre-wired guard, gonna get some alnicos from them later. It sounds alright, if a bit aggressive for my strat tastes.
Like I said when I did the sunburst one, probably won't be able to tell the difference between bridge pickup angles. I have a standard guard so I should try A/B them some time, never got around to it with the old set-up.
Want to try tele bridge pickup! If it doesn't work: Argh waste of time, if it does: PROFIT.

oh right, I remember now. me and arsecake were going back and forth about it. I think I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea how it would sound.
Ooops, all reverse angle pickguards in thread are from Warmoth, only the pickups are from a GFS prewired guard (which I used the actual pickguard from for about a week).
Your duocaster FTW by the way, don't know if I've ever actually said that but I was clearly inspired by it a bit here and was even contemplating robroe covers... but for that I'd want both pickups traditionally angled mustang-style or not angled at all jaguar-style.

Looks cool...I'd be tempted by black mustang style covers (no holes)! Am thinking about doing it to my normal 3 pickup strat. Also will have a dirt cheap tele pickup available soon - no-name brand though but up for grabs in a coupla weeks..

The only thing I'd change is I'd move the volume knob down to where the 1st tone knob would have been. I can't play strats because the volume knob is too close to the strings.

I agonized over the placement of the knobs. I almost did the "tom delonge" placement of the volume knob which would put it where the switch is now... also considered using the two tone locations. The only other scheme that ALMOST made it would be to ditch the blade switch and have a gibbo style 3-way between the vol and tone knobs.
The volume control doesn't bother me where it is on strats though, I actually like it for swells and I usually rest my pinky on/around it, so I went for enough space to get a good grip on either one without looking.
