I'm planning to build my own custom guitar this year.
I know all the specs I'd like and will buy the parts from Warmoth, but I have some questions about the possibility of getting this wired (..and working).
I'm absolutely no hero in wiring (in fact I've never done this before) but if necessary I can get someone to do it for me.
The following things I had in mind for my HSH Alder Strat (with pickguard):
- A DiMarzio Air Norton in the neck position, DiMarzio YJM middle pickup and DiMarzio ToneZone in the bridge with a volume knob, a two tone knobs for the Norton and ToneZone with push-pull possibility for splitting it into singlecoils and one tone knob for the YJM;
- Instead of the traditional five-way switch, I thought three mini-switched to activate/deactive each PUP would be nice (I can't imagine how a ToneZone and Air Norton would sounds together).
What do you guys think?
(For those who are wondering how I'm making it look, imagine this: a AAAAA maple top green burst with a slightly wider burst-over and matching headstock, pearloid white pickguard, possibly figured maple or ebony fretboard, possibly figured maple neck, Wilkinson trem, chrome hardware.. yes, it's godly!)
Thanks !
