Welcome... we need some moral support for Tango and Missy. Might want to stick up the country you're hailing from in your profile also.

Oh, and when people are posting pics, try and make them a reasonable size rather than a 20 megabyte monster. Even with broadband, this takes a few seconds to download!

acepidistra,

That's one sick looking strat! What's the middle pickup. Triple humbucker?? Very cool.

I'd be interested to see how it works... the idea of humbuckers was to buck the hum of a single coil, so i'm wondering what they've done with that one!

To me that just looks like 3 single coils put in there together.... the screw marks for every pickup hints that to me but im prolly wrong

That guitar looks like a piece fromt the Nigel Tufnel collection.

The pickups in the middle position are the originals and are stuck on where I could find the room.
The other two humbuckers - different kinds - dont know what - were given to me along with the locking bridge system.

I saw a diagram similar in a fender manual, or something and wired them all up accordingly.
The top row of switches turns each pickup on or off and the second row changes a different thing - reverses the positronic flow?

But not being an electrician I got something wrong coz one of the on/off switches switches it ALL off, and it wasnt supposed to.

As for how it sounds - I am NOT a guitar player - not even much of a musician - it hasnt even been plugged into an amp for over 10 years, but I seem to recall that if you could ignore the hum, there were a few nice tones.

Well if you don't play much, and the Matamp is being neglected, i'll give it a good home...
