So I'm REALLY considering putting the Coronet project on hold, for now, and spending my money on a MIJ Contemporary Strat my local shop has. They're marking down, and it's really nice. Plus, those 80's MIJ strats are supposed to be better than the American ones, of the same time. Rumor is, that's why they quit importing them from Japan. It's royal blue with a maple neck and fretboard. The previous owner replaced the frets with jumbos, which I actually like. Thoughts?

quoted for truth. My dad has an 80's MIJ Squier Strat and it's better than a few American Fenders I've played.

The 80s MIJ Squiers were pretty much the quality you get out of Fender Japan these days.

What exactly does wiring your pickups out of phase do? I've never heard of that outside of this thread.
Bearer:
Wired out of phase gives the difference between the two pickups. However, if you were to do this on a guitar with two similar pickups (like a telecaster) the sound would usually be very nasally and nearly unuseable. Out of phase is best used in a guitar with different pickups. I have a telecaster with a mini-humbucker in the neck position and a push/pull volume knob that changes the phase, and the sound I get from throwing it out of phase is really qui9te nice. Very chimey and quacky, kind of like positions 2&4 on a strat.
