Rewiring Strat - Ideas, Feedback, Advice wanted
Greetings. Thanks for taking an interest. Im re-wiring my Strat and adding a 4-wire Humbucker in the bridge position with the intention of having available in one guitar, the greatest number of tonal variations possible. If anyone can make suggestions and help me with the wiring, I would be extremely grateful. I’ve studied the wiring diagrams here.
Looking over the various HSS setups, I don’t see one that is an exact fit for the hardware I currently have on hand. Making a nominal investment for additional parts is not a problem. I have a sneaky suspicion that it would be wise to purchase pots with the push/pull options. yes? Unconventional ideas are welcome too. Freaky, tweaky, and over the top is always worth exploring! I do a lot of recording and the more unique tones that I can muster the better. Current Available Parts: 2 Tom Anderson SD1 1 Anderson SD1R 1 Seymore Duncan SH 6B 1 Volume Pot 1 Tone Pot 1 Toggle On/On (12 pins)C&K U41 1 Toggle On/On (3 pin)C&K 7101 The U41 Toggle was previously in use as a VA Booster similar to this: http://www.andersonguitars.com/vabooster.html I'm considering adding the second Toggle switch to set it up as a B5 Switching with Add-Bridge Push/Pull switch http://www.andersonguitars.com/b5.html Will my present 5 way switch work for that setup or would I need a 5 way 4 pole? And the Pots? Must they be push/pull or does the toggle cover that? I'm not clear on this Sure sounds like a cool setup tough. Looking forward to your responses. Thanks again. alter/Ed |

To do the B5 wiring, you need:
3x 4 wire HB 1x normal 5 way strat switch 1x 4PDT toggle 1x 1PDT toggle (or a push-pull pot) I believe you have all of the above except if you want to use a push-pull instead of the toggle (push-pull is a better option). Let me know if you want a diagram. With regards to your other question about which wiring scheme is the best, only you can answer that one... Hopefully others will give you some advice on what worked for them (I don't have a strat) |
