I have a Hot Stack Plus (STK-S9B) in the bridge and two stacks (STK-S2N) in middle and neck, with a 5-way blade. I followed the diagram for the two Stacks, and separately, for the Stack Plus, since I couldn't find a diagram with this combination. Each individual pickup is wired correctly, but...

I'm wiring a 2 HB Tele, SH4/SH2. Why does the SD diagram for 1 volume, 1 tone, 2 HB, use 250k pots, while any other SD diagram for 2 HB uses 500k pots?

I ended up with an extra phat cat neck, gold. How would a neck sound in the bridge? I have a chrome bridge phat cat, and was just going to use one chrome and one gold, but it would look better with two gold. The specs on the SD site look very similar, with just a smidgen more output in the bridge.

I ordered a Stag Mag and two Vintage Stack Plus, thanks to great suggestions on this forum. I thought it would be easy to find the diagram I need, but no luck. Nothing fancy needed, just a HB auto split in the 2 position. I think I know what I need to do, but I have a couple questions to be...

Sorry if this has been covered a bajillion times, but my search terms didn’t hit it. I use the bridge middle on my Strat all the time, so I would not want to lose that with a humbucker. But would like to have a humbucker option. What’s the best humbucker, full or single coil size, to get that sound?

I would like to do an auto split in position of the JB in position 2 with a 5 way blade, otherwise typical Bridge JB JR Mid and Neck: Vintage Hot Stack There are several on the SD site that are close, but I'm sketchy on auto splits and stacks with their three wires. Anyone have one of these...

I recently got a Strat with a Dimarzio Area set, which I don’t really like. Compared to my Jeff Beck Strat they sound thin and lifeless. What SD sound most like the JB noiseless circa 2010? I’m more interested in the neck and middle as I may do a HB in the bridge.

This is a three mini HB config with the push/pull splitting all three coils as in this diagram. I want to swap the push/pull for a mini toggle, and I think I would need a double pole ON/ON, is that right?

I’m thinking about trying a couple quarter pound strats in middle and neck, wondering what a good single coil size HB bridge would go well with these. Also, any opinions on the 1/4 pounders? Lastly, if I do an HSS like this, would it make sense to do a RWRP for the middle?

I'm just getting into doing my own wiring harnesses, I've done about four. Love being able to experiment with different components and configs. I've been using the Gavitt cloth pushback, which is great, except when it gets all frayed at the ends, obscuring other stuff, like other solders on the...

I'm putting together a Warmoth Tele with two P-Rails, and want to check my wiring diagram. SD includes diagrams for VVTT with 2 mini toggles, and VT with one. So this is combining those. I've only done a few wiring jobs, but none with mini toggles. Anyone interested in looking at this and...
