you would still have to have a switch on the guitar or have all the pickups running at the same time.

WOW! is the word that comes to mind. Thanks for that info. I guess if i wanted to recreate the same idea on another strat i would have to get an S1 or could i do it with a push pull pot or a switch or something? I might use only some of the things they have done, i dont know. So how bout this S1 switch. Is it posible to get one? is there another way?

We got an American Deluxe Series Stratocaster in the shop i work at and i found it kind of cool how fender have created a strat knob with a button to extend the sounds of the strat. I know what it does because of these diagrams fender has posted but i would really like to know exactly how the is done by only using one switch. Here is the diagram of what it does...

is it possible that it is because my lead goes past a 4x power adapter?

ok i know its nota problem with the jack or the switch

i think it may be a stuffed jack so ill replace that now with a new one and get back to you all, sorry for waisting space if it is.

thanks dude, ill check now

this may be normal but my Epi LP std is buzzing untill i put my finger in the strings, switch or p/u. if i turn any one of my vol's all the way down it stops if i turn any one of my tone's all the way down it stops if i turn my tones all the way down and then move both my vols up and down the lowest and highest setting has not buzz but as i move the vols to half way the buzz gets lowder and then get softer when i get past half way what the hell is going on, and if this is norm, why?

yep, thats right. Just one thing though. It doesnt matter which side the ground is on, just which pickup is connected to which side.

i think i understand what you are asking so i will try to answer... which ever way you puck the switch, the pick up wired to that side will be on and the other off. When the switch pushes the plate it turns that pickup off by making the connection uncomplete. Hope that helped

When i fitted sperzels to my epi they didnt fit. If you expanding the holes with some sort of finish make sure you put the drill in reverse until you get through the finish then go forward. May help

7.5cm for my crap strat

great, thanks for the advice

so its the same deal... but just out of interest, which type of switch do people prefer, sealed or un-sealed

im really intersted in learning to do a fret dress on an old crap 2nd hand guitar that i have no intention to play after. What i wanted to ask is, do you know of a really good guide to doing this. I know there are some on the PG.com site but maybe you could let me know the good ones if you know of any? And would you recomend me starting to do this, ive been doing repairs for a few months now and an interested in getting into the harder stuff. Thanks
