I built a hardtail Strat from parts I bought off eBay. I put 3 Lil 59ers in it, 2 500K Bourns pots, 1 Gibson 500K push/pull pot, an old 3 way Strat switch and 2 mini toggles. I wired it, like I had done other Strats before, according to an old Jeff Baxter Guitar Player article. Basically, it...

I am assembling a mutt. I had an old Truetone Vanguard single pickup body. I bought a nice Strat neck and had an old hardtail Strat bridge and ferrules. Since it only has one route (in the middle), I wanted to add something that would fit the route and give me another nice guitar for slide...

I have an old Johnson Tele... it looks nice (except the goofy headstock), plays nice, and sounds ok... I replaced the useless neck pickup with a GFS blade pickup; slight improvement. I want to now take an old Strat 5-way switch and get something similar to this (1 is all the way towards the...

I have built a Strat from parts on eBay. I have 3 Seymour Duncan Lil 59ers for it, two 500K ohm Bourns linear taper pots, a Gibson 500K ohm push pull pot, a 3 way switch and two mini toggles. I want to wire it as in this article: http://members.aol.com/ludiekunk/temp/JBaxterStrat.jpg, AND use...
