Ok as stated its a basswood strat, its also got a OFR and a Warmoth neck. I'm taking the JB, Duck mid and SVR neck out as its sounded horrible. I've got a PATB-2 that I would like to go back too or even one of the other PATB's in the bridge. I could go either way with the regards to the HSS or...

Hey guys I need to flat out rewire my strat. I thought I had it right but it was out of phase and the switch didn't work right. I can't remember what schematic I was using. Here's what we're working with. A strat with a 5 way, 1 vol, 1 tone, patb in the bridge, duck 4 wire in the mid and a svr...

Hey guys, I'm trying to sort out some wiring on my HSS strat. Heres what we are working with. Vintage rails in the neck, duck in mid and patb in bridge, yes it has a FR. Originally I had a Mega Switch in it but some how it hummed real bad thought the new amp, so I bought a new all parts 5 way...

I have a black TB-4 with 8" of lead. Was played in guitar 2 weeks. It's in great condition. Comes with plastic box, screws and spring. Asking $47.50 shipped in lower 48.

Man I hatr that JB in this guitar. Way to freakin bright. any body try a custom custom in one?

Is there a list of really good techs or luthier's somewhere on the net? I'm having a hell of a time finding someone that I can trust in my local area.

OK guys, I can't take the JB anymore. The thing is so bright it feels like an ice pick going into my temple :argh: I just ordered a PATB1 ($54.00 close out from music123). That should bring this thing back into line. I haven't decided if I like the duck and SVR in the mid and neck yet. What...

I didn't get much help from my last thread so I would like to attack this a little differently. I installed a JB in the bridge of my Strat, a Duck in the mid and Vintage rails in the neck. The guitar sounds horrible. The bridge is way to bright and the mid and neck sound muddy. I've got 500k...

I went out and bought this today :beerchug:

Guys this thing sounds horrible. JB bridge, 4 wire Duckbucker mid and Vintage rails neck. It was wired using the Megaswitch diagram found here . I used a 500k cts audio volume and a cts 500k linear tone with a .022 cap. The JB is very bright and both the neck and mid are dull and lack volume...

I'm getting ready to put my new pup's in and I want to know how important is it to have shielded wiring and what gauge of wire should I be using?

Hey guys, I need a wiring diagram for a HSH configuration with one volume and 2 tone controls and a megaswitch E. All the schematics I have are all conflicting. Also what would the best wire to get for this projects. TIA Sid

Forgive me guy's, this is my first shot at wiring up my guitar. It's a strat and I'm looking info on how to configure it. TB-4 bridge, Duck mid, Jazz neck. Do I need 250k or 500k pots. Gonna be simple, 1 vol 1 tone and a 5 way. Also would I need push pull for anything? Maybe to run both of the...

Hey guys, I think I ordered the wrong pup. I'm putting a Duckbucker in the middle and just noticed I ordered it for the bridge. Should I stop the order or will it work? I only have two choices neck or bridge.

I'm replacing all the pickups, switches, pot and knobs. The pup's will be black, so what color guard and knobs should I shoot for. The tuners and locking nut are chrome. What do you think will look good?
