BRIAN MAY TONE ON A STRAT? Strat re-wired vs. BMG through BM setup

Yes it's possible! And all you need to do is to completely re-wire the Stratocaster...

This Strat has a 5-way selector and a switch in the volume pot that allows for switching between two different wiring setups: a standard Strat setup and then a "Brian May" setup.

The idea here was firstly to see what the Strat would sound like through a BM style rig, but also to compare the re-wiring to the way a BMG is wired up for accuracy purposes.

This video is in 3 bits:

Part the first: Standard Strat pickup wiring through BM rig

Part the second: BM-style wiring through BM rig

Part the third: BMG through BM rig and A/B with Strat

Gear: Strat (obviously) with American Standard pickups; Fryer Touring Treble Booster; Vox MV50AC; BMG Brian May Signature

Enjoy!
