First let's talk about the name: it comes from the guitar that I harvested the neck from, a Storm ST250 that my father bought me 20 years ago for 100€, and the fact that every piece is also either scrap from my parts box or cheap crap from AliExpress.

This instrument has been built mainly as a proof of concept to try a wiring diagram my delirious mind put together: the most versatile one-pickup guitar.

With the magic of a göldo 3-way superwitch, we have a full humbucker on position 1, a parallel configuration on position 2 for those strat-y inbetween sounds and an humbucker that bypasses the controls on position 3 for a small boost in volume and high frequencies (and an accidental killswitch if you roll down the volume all the way). The wiring looks like a plate of spaghetti, but that's the way to do it .

As an endnote, shout out to the Donlis DH05 pickup I got for 20€: for the price it does an amazing impression of a DiMarzio Super Distortion.

Edit: I took a better picture

Frivolous Fender lawsuit incoming! In all seriousness, nice work though.
