Hey wiring gurus, A customer wants a harness setup that I've never tackled before and I just wanted to ask if y'all knew if this was possible before I start making a diagram. We were thinking of using a Super Switch and a push pull to do this with his HSS strat: Switch settings: 1 Bridge 2 Bridge Split 3 Middle only 4 Neck + Bridge 5 Neck only Push Pull pot for a "blower" bypass switch Thanks!

I recently did a rebuild on a Strat where I went with 2 pickups and a 3 way switch. Goal mess to have an independent volume for each pickup and a master tone. I also added a coil split for the bridge. I went pickups direct to volume pots, pots to the blade switch, and out of the switch to the tone, then to the jack. Issue is the volumes are not fully independent. When in the middle position if I cut the volume to either pickup it acts a…

I have a project on the bench where the player wants the option of sending the sound of each of his two pickups to separate amplifiers, or not, depending on the cycle of the moon. I have an idea that this could be accomplished using a DPDT switch and a stereo jack, wired as I've attempted to show on the attachment. In one position, both hot signals are sent to the tip, in the other, one goes to the tip, and the other to the ring. In…

I've done the Fender Grease Bucket Circuit mod on a lot of Strats and it always works. A customer recently brought in a 335 kit for wiring. It got 3-TV Jones humbuckers, each wired to a Seymour Duncan Triple Shot Mounting Ring, 3 separate volume controls and a master tone with the Grease Bucket circuit. My client wanted to see a clear diagram of the wiring, so I got GuitarElectronics.com to generate one. I've used them several times in…

I need to make a router template for a rear access control cavity in the PRS style of 1 vol +1 tone +1 switch? Placement of pot and switch holes aren't important, just the contours of the cavity so I can print a routing template. Does anyone have a file? Thanks! Justin

Hey everyone, I could use some advice as far as the fretting process is concerned. I’ve been doing guitar repair since around 2008, I opened my business doing guitar repair in September of 2021, and I’ve always felt that fretwork has been the most challenging part of this job. I’m getting to the point now where I finally feel like I’m getting the hang of it, but I’m not where I want to be yet. I should mention that I use the Erlewine…

Hello fellow Looths, I had a question in regards to a curious issue from a customers guitar. The guitar was brought to me in part because the customer was having an issue where the guitar was intermittent and would ground out. It's a partscaster with an HH pickup configuration, one volume, one tone, 5 way switch, and the tone control splits the humbuckers. The pickups are quick connect Dimarzio's. I took the pickguard off and noticed tha…

Alright. I have a client’s kit EDS1275 in for a wire up. They provided this diagram, but I’m lost as to where to track down the correct 6 lug toggle switch? Any help would be awesome.

Have you ever had a really stubborn bridge plate to remove? I had one not too long ago that seemed to resist wetting with a damp cloth, and subsequently all the heat I could get from my silicone heating pads. After much effort I got about 80% of it out cleanly. The remaining 20% required hours of work with a finger plane. That experience made me think about the Brown's Guitar Factory bridge plate removal tool I had purchased years ago,…

Any electronic wizards know how this switch would be wired for a simple volume / tone circuit for two single coil pups? I cannot find a good answer using the internet search so far. A diagram for dummies would be amazing.

Hey everyone, Well I had a bit of a day today. The issue is a paint chip out on a matte finish 3 month old Ibanez RG 421. I was in the middle of a pup install and was backing out the screw holding the 5 way switch. As you can see from the pics there must have been some paint sitting above the screw and well viola! I thought it best to try to glue the chips back in but I used accelerator (BSI) because well I’m a dumb ass and it looks like…
