I love Schecters. Sweet axe. Is that a Hipshot bridge?

I do too, if its the right pup. Cool Rails, Vintage Rails, Duckbucker, and STK-S4 Plus, all sound good to me as a standalone middle. And the best, was an SSL-5 that I accidently poked with an Exacto knife. Forum bro Zhangliqun, (Dave Plummer), rewound it for me. One of the best sounding...

No. Colors are just for clarity. Use any colors you want. I recommend some decent 22 gauge wire, like this: Guitar Wire But anything will do. Just don't use anything too large. These aren't the Liberator wires. These are just jumpers. I'll show the Liberator wires in the next installment. I'm...

You're welcome. And welcome to the forum.

You can start with this. Take the Megaswitch out of the guitar to make it easier to solder to. Add all these jumpers in three stages.

Yes. I have that diagram somewhere in my archives. If I find it, I'll post it. Mind you, I have hundreds of diagrams on my 'puter. Might take me awile to find it.

If the red dotted line signifies the red/white wire, you're good to go. Nice job.

That's why I'm thinking this might work fine with a pair of Jazz's.

You know . . . I just wasn't thinking. This is easy peasey. The pickups will be connected with the screw terminals. So, if after you get it all wired up, and it turns out to be backwards, (neck selected in bridge position), you'll just reverse the wires in the screw terminals. Should take maybe...

And I don't have the switch in my hand. Let me study some Schaller literature and see if I can figure it out. It's important that we get it right. P.S. I don't know if you want to go to the trouble, but a simple battery and LED or lightbulb would do the trick.

Let me double check my diagram. I believe it's good as it is, but I'll check. Do you have a meter? If you do, place the handle all the way back in the "bridge" position. Then verify that one of these connections is shorted. You only need to verify one pair. If its good, the other three will be...

Well, the beauty of the Liberator is that you can make about 95% of the connections with the Liberator and Megaswitch outside of the guitar, where it's easy to get to. Then, just drop the whole thing back into the guitar to make the final pickup screw-in connections. I'll try to get that...

You have to examine this closely to understand how it works. But it does. It only looks convoluted. :p

I love those sounds too, but ideally, you want to do the mag-flip, reverse-wire, on the neck, to keep everything hum-cancelling. It's not a big deal, but a lot of folks don't like messing with a new pup.

Yes, but it requires a dual-humbucker guitar that uses a Fender style 3-way. I haven't figured any way to do it with an LP-style toggle. And believe me, I've tried. I have two Schecters that beg for that wiring. But they're both LP-style switches. :cautious:
