Members Snail_killer Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm going to install two p-90's in my strat- I have a three way switch a 250 vol and a 250k tone pot. I want to wire it where the middle position on the 3way is a kill switch. I have really no idea how to wire it... so can someone draw me a diagram-please also the p90's have a red,white, and bare wire. also have a .047uf cap thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawzrd Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 red = signal hotwhite = signal neutralbare = ground (solder all of these to the back of the volume pot) As for the kill switch, whether or not you can do this depends on the switch itself. A lot of them are mechanically built so that the center position is a mix of the two pickups, and you can't change that. Some of them have an "open center" that would act as a killswitch. Use a multimeter to test yours for such a position. Switch info:http://www.stewmac.com/wiring101/diagrams_for_3and5_way.html Generally you wire the colds together, tie them to ground, and send that to the output jack shield. You can find more wiring instructions (i.e. how to do the tone pot in different ways, switching situations, etc) here: http://www.1728.com/guitar.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
