Hey guys,
I want to wire a HSS strat with the standard 5-way switch, a push-pull to split a Custom Custom HB, and I want the upper tone to affect the neck pickup and the lower tone to affect the bridge, and I want the middle pickup to bypass any tone control.
I'm planning to follow this guide from SD site, but I want the push-pull to be on the second tone pot, so it doesn't get on the way when I'm playing.
So I made two little mods to the layout, but I need a confirmation that it would work. I just moved the push-pull knob to the bridge tone and wired it the same way (It works indepedent from the pot, so should work). And I moved the second tone to one terminal up on the 5-way switch. Leaving the ''Middle-out'' empty, and the ''bridge-out'' to where the middle was previously going, to give me a Neck and a bridge separate tone knobs.
If everything is correct, I'm thinking of using 500k pot on Volume, and 500k on Bridge Humb Tone, and 250k on Neck SingleCoil Tone. If any value is wrong I will be happy to correct.
