Ghwar Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I want do do this as Yngwie has done (he explained it in a video).. how do you do this on a fender stratocaster, remove the tone controls from the circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) The easy way would be to just cut the wire between the tone pots and the switch or volume(depending on what kind of guitar you're talking about). The "right" way would be to disconnect and remove the lead going to the tone pot(or remove the pot and all of its wires). peace, russ Edited December 1, 2005 by thegarehanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 That would work, but you could just as easily use a soldering iron to remove the wire(which could also, easily be installed again). Infact, it's probably be easier to reconnect everything later if you removed the wire rather than cutting it. If you really don't want to touch a soldering iron though, just make sure that the ends of the wire(that you cut) aren't able to make electrical contact with anything(electrical tape will work).
