Overview of the
Triple Threat project....
A fully customized Fender Strat with a
total of 22 different pickup selections at your
fingertips via 3 uniquely recessed mini-toggle
switches. Classic Strat tone as it's
loaded with top quality Seymour Duncan pickups
throughout. From a screaming hot tapped bridge
pickup to true vintage middle and neck pickups.
Pickup Mod Switch 1: A
SPDT mini-toggle switch toggles between
the tapped portion of Seymour Duncan SSL-5T bridge
pickup or full output. Switch position up gives
you full pickup output,
switch position down is the tapped portion of
the pickup winding or lower output level.
Pickup Mod Switch 2: A
SPDT mini-toggle switch toggles
on or
off the neck pickup no matter what position the
5-way pickup selector switch is in. This
mod gives
you two more pickup selection options from the
standard 5. Same as
our Gilmour Black Strat modification.
Pickup Mod Switch 3: "Direct
Through Mod". A DPDT mini-toggle
switch. With this switch activated
the output from the pickups is passed directly to
the output jack bypassing the volume
and tone potentiometers and eliminating any of
their signal
attenuation. Allows the full flavor,
output and character of the pickup to be sent to
your amp.

Body: Is a excellent condition
2007 '62
reissue Jupiter blue MIJ Strat body. It is a wonderful blue metallic
body that looks great with the white pickguard
along with the aged white accessories and the maple
neck. The colors and tones of entire
guitar complement each other nicely. The control
cavity of this body has been fully shielded with
conductive shielding paint. The metallic paint
characteristic of the body does not come through
in the photographs for some reason, it basically
looks like a solid blue color. The blue color in
the photographs looks lighter than it actually
is, it has a darker hue to the color.
