Members twotimingpete Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 in other words, I want 1, 2, 4, and 5 to all be as normal, but 3, instead of being middle alone, would instead be just the neck and bridge combined. that's one of the tones I feel I'm missing on my strat and I don't use the 3 position much if ever. is there an easy way to do this? I know how to make solder connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bro Blue Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yeah, I think you either need a switch or a blender pot to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lefchr Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 you need a 7 way switch or a push/push knob to activate the bridge and neck together. You could just swap the lead of the middle pickup and one of the others and do it that way but you would lose some of the postion you use now.

Members Faber Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 I have a push/pull pot on a couple of strats that adds the neck pickup to any pickup position. I'd recommend that as you get to keep the (imho) very usefull middle pickup selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members =JL= Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 You can do something similar using all your existing components. Wire your first tone pot to be a master tone for neck and bridge pickups, wire the bridge and neck pickups to the switch like a Tele, and then make the remaining tone pot a volume control for the middle pickup, allowing you to bring it in (or out) regardless of switch position. Basically you're using a Tele diagram, but with an extra pickup with it's own pot.It's not quite as elegant in use as the switching you're looking for, but it gives you all seven possible combinations and hey, it's free!

Members StillRock Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 That would be nice... I'm also thinking hotrail in the bridge. I love my Am.Std. Strat, but the bridge sound has too much hum and is weaker than what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vintage clubber Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I would do the blender pot mod myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr_Kuh Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 This is the musicman silhouette special way. You have to think of the humbucker as a singlecoil. In the 3rd position it is neck and bridge side of humbucker anyway That's all I could find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mightysasquatch Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I did the 7 way switching with a mini switch to turn the neck pup on/off, and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoneNut Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 Has anyone tried this one? Does it work? Seems like the perfect solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flatspotter Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 Kinman sells a wiring harness that lets you blend the neck pup in with bridge and bridge+middle. That way, you can get the Tele middle position, plus all 3, which sounds really cool. It can do a few other tricks, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
