SwedishLuthier Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 What kind of guitar is it? How many pickups? We need more info to be able to help. Also: Try the search funtion. I'm pretty sure the info is already availible in the forum... Quote
cole Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Posted December 30, 2005 its a strat single coil, 5way switch, two tone knobs...what would i search under>? Quote
SwedishLuthier Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 OK, searching for “tone pot” gave a LOT of hits… Anyway, if it's a standard Strat wiring (standard 5-way lever switch, vol, bridge tone, mid tone) it's a simple fix. Move the wire from the bridge tone pot to the 5-way switch from its current lug to the vacant lug. Now you got vol, mid tone and neck tone. If you also want a bridge tone, instead of moving the wire, keep it in place, get a 250K pot and wire it just like the pot without capacitor (original bridge or mid) except that you solder it to the vacant lug on the switch . EDIT: I might have mixed things up, regarding what’s a "standard Strat wiring". Isn't what you’re describing actually a standard wiring? The wiring whith neck and mid tone is described here. Tell us what you got and I'll try to help you to get it right Quote
