SwedishLuthier Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share 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.

cole Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 its a strat single coil, 5way switch, two tone knobs...what would i search under>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
