I've been after a mini-humbucker guitar for a while now. No deals came around so I decided to throw one together. I've had a scalloped Strat neck hanging around for a while so I got a Mexi Strat body w/bridge and jack plate off Ebay, a Warmoth pickguard, and a set of Duncans. Voila! I busted out a forstner bit and gave the body a swimming pool route, bolted it together, and soldered it last night - it's pretty damn cool! I did literally no setup on it at all and it actually plays and intonates pretty well. It needs some tweaking but nothing drastic at all.

SM1N - Vintage Mini Humbucker, Neck
So far, so good. The bridge pickup is somewhere between a Tele and a PAF - it's got some chunk and some twang - it's pretty neat. The middle position is very cool running in stereo with a nice wide chorus. The neck pickup is like a mellow humbucker.I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

Can you get a tone like Adrian Smith on early Maiden records? That's the only reason I'd want to try mini's. I've never played a mini loaded axe - some sort of "mental" thing with me - just never was interested.
I might be more open now. I've always had my 63 SG Special and liked the P90's, and I have 77 Custom LP with weak (7.6K) T-Tops. I love the bark and bite of those through a loud classic Marshall.
