Need help with pickguard wiring

[maxgmayer]

Buddy's got a strat I'm working on. He bought a wiring harness for a les paul instead of a strat :smack:
It's got what we need except for the wrong switch, so I bought a new 4x4 3 way strat switch. I can't find a SINGLE wiring diagram that relates to it. The volume knob is normal, the tone knob is a push-pull for coil splitting both pickups and has the .047 cap on it. I'm dropping two pearly gates into the PG. Someone please help tell me where each wire goes, a specific wiring diagram would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!!

This is mislabeled (should say "1 push/pull"), but I think it will do the trick. All you have to change is to run the wires to the push/pull on the tone pot, instead of on the volume pot (red/white for one pickup, green/black for the other, and the one wire from the back of the volume pot to the push/pull). The wiring on the pots themselves stays the same.

Re: Need help with pickguard wiring

I don't know if you'll find a 100% match, since you are putting the push/pull on the tone pot. I think most diagrams you find will show the push/pull on the volume pot, like the SD one does.

Just remember to leave the wiring to the pots as it is in the diagram. The only wires you will move are the ones I mentioned above (red/white for one pickup, green/black for the other, and the one wire from the back of the volume pot to the push/pull).
