We recently held the “Sound House Wiring Collection” at X.
We received many submissions, and it was a fun routine to see everyone's posts during this period. From the many submissions, the Sound House staff voted for the best wiring!

The winner of the Grand Prize is this post.
This is standard Stratocaster wiring, but it looks very clean and neatly organized in various places.
The pickup leads and ground wire are not too long and not too short, and this is the kind of wiring that we want to use as a model when wiring a Stratocaster!
Excellence Award
素晴らしい企画を発見したので、PU交換のついでにパーツ購入して一新!

ザ王道の遊び心のない配線なので、とにかく丁寧に配線することを心掛けました😭

The Excellence Award goes to this post.
The 2Vol 2Tone wiring, which tends to get messy, is neatly organized using shrink tubing.
Shrink tubing is also used for the wiring of the capacitor legs and the hot terminals of the selector, which shows the contributor's careful nature.
Since a soldering iron needs to be routed through the narrow space of the pickup cavities, it is possible to melt the coating of the wiring material if you are careless, but it is easier to work on the guitar after wiring it as much as possible like the contributor did!
Good Idea Award
The Good Idea Award goes to this submission!
まさかの完成後の配線写真がないからアウトっていう…

フロント以外を選択中に、ノブでフロントを混ぜることができる仕様に。
トーンはマスタートーン。
でも結局フロント選択時にリアを、リア選択時にフロントをブレンドする回路の方が簡単で使い勝手はいいかもしれない…

The wiring here is a custom version of the common 3-single wiring, with 1Vol 1Tone and a blender for the front pickup.
The Stratocaster rear alone can be difficult to handle in some situations, and I think it would be easier to use if I could mix the front pickup in such situations.
I would like to imitate this when wiring a stratocaster!
Summery
How was it?
In addition to the winning submissions, there were so many submissions with unique ideas and beautiful wiring, which will be helpful to me when I do the work myself. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest.
We would like to hold the next contest again, so we hope that not only those who participated this time but also those who are interested in wiring will participate!
