Wiring Diagram - Strat with three Pickup on-off switches

jwsamuel · August 10th, 2006, 01:13 PM

I want to wire up a Strat with separate on-off switches for each of the pickups instead of the five-way switch, one volume control and one master tone control. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for what I want to do?

I found one on guitarnuts.com but want to check for others before I follow those instructions.

Thanks,

Jim

Here's my favorite mini-toggle setup. It's the ol' Dan Armstrong three-mini-toggles for twelve tones scheme. I had one of my Strats wired like this, and it's not as confusing as it seems at first glance - it actually makes pretty good sense after you've played it for a bit. All the "magnificent seven" parallel combos are there, and the rest are fat series and series/parallel combos.

Note that the bridge toggle is an on/ON/on three-way, the mid and neck toggles are on/on (two-way). You can get these at Stewart-MacDonald, RadioShack, and many other fine establishments.

Thanks Eddie. That does look like an interesting setup.
