Hi y'all, I have a ridiculously modded strat that I used as a project for learning. It's an HSS with a 3 way (on/off/on) coil splitter, a blower switch, a Fender S1 volume pot, and an unnecessarily complicated 5 way super switch discrete (no idea why they call it 'discrete' but it's sort of a...

I ordered some humbucker mounting screws/springs and they are slightly too big. What size mounting screws do I need for Pearly Gates Plus bridge humbucker, and where can I get them? Thanks y’all Jon

Hi y'all. I have an HSS strat, SD P-rail humbucker, and Fender Tx Specials for singles (neck/mid). Humbucker is out of phase and I know I need to swap some wires . . . while I know swapping the humbucker wires would be usual thing, I cannot remember which ones (but could poke around here and...

I just searched the page links to pups made before 2002 and after 2002. I could not find the sticker on the bottom of either list. I am pretty sure it's a Pearly Gates humbucker, but want to be sure. The sticker on the bottom is PGP (I so see some references in my google search to Pearly Gates...

Re: HSS pickup fender/SD thin sound issue question Thanks Hamerfan, So it would look like this?

Re: HSS pickup fender/SD thin sound issue question So given this diagram, I have tried to figure out what exactly to do . . . The p-rail goes first to the coil splitter, then hot goes to the blower switch. I see that the Bare wire and Green wire (grounds) goto the upper left lug (then over to a...

I think this has something to do with wiring, but I cannot find how to fix it. I have Fender Gen4 Noiseless single coils in Neck and Middle positions, and SD P-rail as bridge humbucker. When I have a combination of either single coil with the humbucker, the sound is very thin, almost like a...

Re: Push-push bypass mod to add to on-off-on coil split mod Well, that didn't work either. But after some experimenting, this did work: I went back to the previous diagram but removed the wire from S-1 to output jack. Here's the working diagram (all wiring not shown is the same as Elite Strat...

Re: Push-push bypass mod to add to on-off-on coil split mod Alrighty, working very hard to figure this out on my own . . . I will be trying this setup once I get home. I blacked out the blower wiring before and changed it up via computer (the new wiring attempt is obvious). I think this will...

Re: Push-push bypass mod to add to on-off-on coil split mod I changed the diagram a bit for the blower switch (to make it as it is wired on actual Elite Strat). In the diagram below, I REMOVED the wire from blower to S-1 (lower-left lug of blower to wiper of S-1) since that was giving me some...

Re: Push-push bypass mod to add to on-off-on coil split mod I found this diagram: https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/tag/blower-switch Since I will be integrating this with the on-off-on coil splitter, would this wiring setup work for a blower switch (passing lane)? What I am thinking is...

I have an HSS strat that I added an on-off-on toggle to the P-rail humbucker to get 1) Slug, 2) Full humbucker, 3) Rail, and it works great. My final mod on this project is to hopefully add a bypass (I think it's called a blower switch? or something like that) where when I push the button, it...

I have modded my Lone Star Strat to be an Elite strat with P-rail as humbucker (I added the S-1 and the 3 capacitors). I got rid of the push-push button and changed it to an on-off-on toggle that functions as a coil split that allows for 1) Slug only, 2) Full humbucker, 3) Rail only. Trouble...

Rewire Strat Elite with P-Rails, & swapping the push-push bypass with on-off-on split Finally completed a mod that uses a P-rail instead of a shawbucker on a Fender Elite, and gets rid of the push-push that sent humbucker straight to output jack and instead uses on-off-on as a coil split that...

I have wired up my strat as an Elite Strat with P-rails as humbucker (bridge). Given the wiring that I'm attaching (the Elite), is there a way to use an on-on-on toggle to give me control of humbucker as: 1) First position single coil (screws) 2) Second position both coils (in series or...
