Members dimibetan Posted April 25, 2009 Members Share Posted April 25, 2009 First of all, I would like to thank the guys at EG who help me with this modifications. I really appreciate your replies, comments, and recommendations on these threads I started: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2269712 http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2277940 http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2289950 Anyway, here are the pics during my modification: First I did some research for the wiring diagram because Fender PUs are reverse phased compaired to SD PUs. I asked some guys from the SD forum, also to help me with this. This diagram is not actually available in the SD website. I just made it in Photoshop: Position 5 - Neck PU Position 4 - Neck and Mid PUs Position 3 - Mid PU Position 2 - Mid and Slug PU on HB Position 1 - Full HB Bridge PU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dimibetan Posted April 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2009 Choosing the PU and PG color... I made a thread about this. Actually, the G option is the highest but I referred to the C option, which is the third to the highest. Just to try it first... I'm planning to buy a tortoise PG because the black PG can easily be scratched and the scratches are noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dimibetan Posted April 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2009 I have been looking for the DC resistance of the Alnico 3 PUs of the Highway 1 Strat on the internet but did not found any. Using the multimeter, i just found out that they are really hot for SC PUs: Neck PU = 10.57k Mid PU = 11.49k Bridge PU = 12.19k I dont know if these are accurate because I used a cheap multimeter. But higher or lower, they are still high for SCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dimibetan Posted April 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2009 I bought an SD Trembucker because I thought, the 3 hole HB on the Fender PG will fit the holes from the Trembucker. I was wrong... In fact, the extra holes of the Trembucker are useless. The screws dont fit on it also. I have to drill another hole for the PU to fit. Did the wirings of what I have research...
