The Wait Is Finally Over!!!

The Wait Is Finally Over!!!

Ok guys. This is going to be a long one, might even take two posts. Please bear with me. To start, Evan words for SD, yes. Now the good news:

YOUR WAIT IS OVER!!! I said screw it to scanning and then sizing and then sending me the scans and all that crap so I took pics of the paper. I'm also going to link wiring for the push/pullls to the post, so you can refer to those.

I didn't figure out how to give you two separate push/pulls for the bridge pup but the good news is you can get an on/on/on DPDT switch, that uses the same wiring as the push/pull on the volume to achieve both tonal tastes.

There's my rough draft. Hard to read and all in pencil, which doesn't help, however you can see bits where things sort of end up.

This next drawing I didn't draw in the pups or the exact placement of the pups, and this made it easier to do a neater drawing. NOTE: Yellow represents the white wires. Green and bare wires are always soldered to the same place, and any other pencil drawn lines that are attached to the pup are guitar hookup wire. you can recycle what's already in your strat, use new wire, or do a mixture of both.

The next picture is the same drawing zoomed in a little.

Sorry for not giving you two separate push/pulls but I don't thinks it's possible. The good news is that an on/on/on DPDT can resolves that, and only takes 3 seconds of drilling, a washer, and a nut (those usually included) to install. There's fairly cheap too.

As for the tone control, it either goes to the 3rd lug on the volume as drawn, or the common lug on the selector switch, which is the lug where the volume goes to. Note that the two selector lugs "jumpered" together are the common lugs for each pole, so that wire is essential.

The split in the middle has duplicated wires because both the wires from the neck and middle pups are using that push/pull. Seeing as how the blend pot doesn't have a push/pull you could use a push/pull for the blend pot and wire the neck pup to the one, and the neck to the other. Also you'll notice a wire goes to the casing of each pot, and is soldered. This is to ground the Blend and Tone pot to the Volume pot.

Lasltly, I'm 17, and I've been modding guitars for a few months. I'd greatly appreciated it if other members could check this and see if it looks right to them. If you install it, and it doesn't work, I already have a few back up ideas. However, I'm confident this is how to wire your strat to get what your looking for. Good luck Tacapez, let us know how you like the sound when it's installed

I feel like by wiring this I've won a dual with wiring, or climbed a mountain of tone pots, pups and wires!!:sword:

BUMP!! I can't wait till Tacapez sees this. Hopefully he'll like.

Anyone and everyone please check the diagram and explanation and post whether you think it's accurate or not.

I didn't figure out how to give you two separate push/pulls for the bridge pup but the good news is you can get an on/on/on DPDT switch, that uses the same wiring as the push/pull on the volume to achieve both tonal tastes.

I didn't understand this part... what exactly you couldn't do? The Bridge Split separated from Neck and Middle (So I'll split 'em all in one push/push) or The Bridge Invert Parallel/Series (and I won't have series/parallel)?

Sorry for not giving you two separate push/pulls but I don't thinks it's possible. The good news is that an on/on/on DPDT can resolves that, and only takes 3 seconds of drilling, a washer, and a nut (those usually included) to install. There's fairly cheap too.

on/on/on DPDT is a 3 way switch? like the Les Paul's Switch Pup's Key?

As for the tone control, it either goes to the 3rd lug on the volume as drawn, or the common lug on the selector switch, which is the lug where the volume goes to. Note that the two selector lugs "jumpered" together are the common lugs for each pole, so that wire is essential.

Well, I didn't understand this... sorry but what is a LUG? Like a spot, a place?
I think by the drawing I must do everything right... Just following exactly what's there.

The split in the middle has duplicated wires because both the wires from the neck and middle pups are using that push/pull. Seeing as how the blend pot doesn't have a push/pull you could use a push/pull for the blend pot and wire the neck pup to the one, and the neck to the other. Also you'll notice a wire goes to the casing of each pot, and is soldered. This is to ground the Blend and Tone pot to the Volume pot.

Once again I don't know anything about eletronics so I'll just follow the script!

Lasltly, I'm 17, and I've been modding guitars for a few months. I'd greatly appreciated it if other members could check this and see if it looks right to them. If you install it, and it doesn't work, I already have a few back up ideas. However, I'm confident this is how to wire your strat to get what your looking for.

Well, I hope everything is right. I'll follow the script and any doubts about the drawing I'll post here for you!

Good luck Tacapez, let us know how you like the sound when it's installed

Trust me, I'll post my opinion here as soon as I install the pups!

--

Well, Now I just want to know what exactly didn't work on that old diagram ideas.
And wondering if it is the solution... I really didn't understand what won't work from my old diagram...
Hope you can explain to me!

Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!
It was already a GREAT JOB Fender_Punk and I'm glad you're helping me out!!!
Thanks!

Re: The Wait Is Finally Over!!!

Finally!!!!!

I didn't understand this part... what exactly you couldn't do? The Bridge Split separated from Neck and Middle (So I'll split 'em all in one push/push) or The Bridge Invert Parallel/Series (and I won't have series/parallel)?

With this set up you'll have series/parallel push/pull for the bridge pup and series/split for the neck and middle. I don't know how towire the 4 wires from a bridge pup to one push pull, and then carry them over to another push/pull with a separate function, I don't even think that's possible. However, the on/on/on switch will provide series, split and parallel wiring all in one switch for the bridge pup.

on/on/on DPDT is a 3 way switch? like the Les Paul's Switch Pup's Key?

No, it is still a DPDT setup (the push/pull part of a push/pull pot, with the 6 lugs, or terminals if you will)

Well, I didn't understand this... sorry but what is a LUG? Like a spot, a place?
I think by the drawing I must do everything right... Just following exactly what's there.

A lug, or terminal, is the metal prong like piece of selector switches, pots and switches where the wires are soldered to.

Well, Now I just want to know what exactly didn't work on that old diagram ideas.
And wondering if it is the solution... I really didn't understand what won't work from my old diagram...
Hope you can explain to me!
Gus

If you install push/pull pots on the tone and blend, or tone and master volume, you can use them each as a series/split push/pull, 1 for the neck, and 1 for the middle pup, or you can stay with one push/pull controlling both like it is drawn.

What doesn't work is having two separate push/pulls with two separate functions for one pickup. That's all, and as stated a few times, this can be resolved with the on/on/on. Other than that, the diagram I drew provides everything you want.

If you want series/split/parallel wiring for your bridge pup, go to your music shop, ask for an on/on/on DPDT switch, drill a hole in your pickguard and install it, and use the series/parallel wiring drawn for bridge pup to the volume push/pull and you'll have the three options in 1 switch. This way you'll get all the tonal options you want.

Sorry if this seems a little repetitive, but I hope the repetition makes it clearer for you. Good luck and post back with any questions.

There's a picture of an on/on/on DPDT switch. Simple, cheap, same wiring as push/pulls.

However, the on/on/on switch will provide series, split and parallel wiring all in one switch for the bridge pup.

I see now what's an on/on/on DPDT. I said on another forum that this guitar was my cousin's guitar and I want to preserve the Strat visual aspect (look) on it... so I don't want to drill the pickguard what means I won't install the DPDT.

So, honestly, what do you think is the best solution? Don't you think the split for every pup might be better than split 2 pups and parallel 1? Use Series/Parallel on Bridge's pup as your drawing says or give up Parallel and use Series/Split on every pups (with 3 push/push pots, one individual push/push to each pup)?

1)
------------------------------------------------------------

MASTER VOLUME:
pot-Controls MASTER VOLUME
push-SPLIT NECK

MASTER TONE:
pot-Controls MASTER TONE
push-SPLIT MIDDLE

BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME:
pot-Controls BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME (when is not selected)
push-SWITCH BRIDGE'S SERIES/PARALLEL

------------------------------------------------------------

2)
------------------------------------------------------------

MASTER VOLUME:
pot-Controls MASTER VOLUME
push-SPLIT NECK

MASTER TONE:
pot-Controls MASTER TONE
push-SPLIT MIDDLE

BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME:
pot-Controls BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME (when is not selected)
push-SPLIT BRIDGE


------------------------------------------------------------

3)
------------------------------------------------------------

MASTER VOLUME: (regular pot, without push/push)
pot-Controls MASTER VOLUME

MASTER TONE:
pot-Controls MASTER TONE
push-SPLIT NECK & MIDDLE

BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME:
pot-Controls BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME (when is not selected)
push-SPLIT BRIDGE


------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion is that makes more sense to use the third option... controls splits the pups... better than Bridge only Parallel and the other splits. And as I'm used to use a Fat-Strat (HSS) I think the split for Neck & Middle staying together is a good thing...

Tell me what you think!

I'm feeling terrible asking about this now that you have done a drawing already... Really sorry about that!

Sorry if this seems a little repetitive, but I hope the repetition makes it clearer for you. Good luck and post back with any questions.

Repetitive is effective! Everything is clearer than Caribbean Sea!!!

Ok. Though it's one switch and it really wont stand out, and would give you the most flexibility. But if you're still against, I understand.

So, honestly, what do you think is the best solution? Don't you think the split for every pup might be better than split 2 pups and parallel 1? Use Series/Parallel on Bridge's pup as your drawing says or give up Parallel and use Series/Split on every pups (with 3 push/push pots, one individual push/push to each pup)?

Depends. More options with having separate push/pulls for the necks and middle pups. Then you can have the neck un-split and the middle split or vice versa together, plus same deal with the bridge pup.

1)
------------------------------------------------------------

MASTER VOLUME:
pot-Controls MASTER VOLUME
push-SPLIT NECK

MASTER TONE:
pot-Controls MASTER TONE
push-SPLIT MIDDLE

BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME:
pot-Controls BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME (when is not selected)
push-SWITCH BRIDGE'S SERIES/PARALLEL

------------------------------------------------------------

This one I like the best. And you have everything you need to wire it in the diagram I provided. Most versatility. Only difference I personally would make is to make the middle and neck pups wired for a series/parallel rather than a series/split push/pull.

3)
------------------------------------------------------------

MASTER VOLUME: (regular pot, without push/push)
pot-Controls MASTER VOLUME

MASTER TONE:
pot-Controls MASTER TONE
push-SPLIT NECK & MIDDLE

BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME:
pot-Controls BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME (when is not selected)
push-SPLIT BRIDGE


------------------------------------------------------------

If you're going to do this I still say make the bridge pup series/parallel push/pull. Actually, I'd say make the all wired for series/parallel push/pulls as the output would be a bit lower than a split coil, and still hum cancelling, which means you get more of a true single coil tone while still keeping the benefits of hum cancelling. The split will give you noise and it wont be as crisp or clear sounding as a parallel-wired bucker would be.

Also, the further away the pot with a push/pull is, the harder it is to get to it fast, so if you use the bridge pup most, put the bridge push/pull on the volume pot. However I understand your logic of putting the bridge push/pull on the bridge blend control.

I'm feeling terrible asking about this now that you have done a drawing already... Really sorry about that!

No big deal, really. It was a great learning experience for me, it made me have to apply the knowledge I've learnt and put pieces together to complete a puzzle. I not only got to help you out but I've helped myself and have become more confident in what I'm doing, so thank you.

Repetitive is effective! Everything is clearer than Caribbean Sea!!!

Great to know! And it takes a lot for me to give up on someone.

Re: Stack vs Single Sized Humbuckers / Opinions on Strat's Switch/Split Pups Installa

Hey guys; You've made several posts since I was drawing up a diagram, so this may not be relevant anymore. But, here it is in case it helps.

Basically, I wanted to give you what you were asking for first, which is this:

I'm preety sure about what I want now:

------------------------------------------------------------

MASTER VOLUME:
pot-Controls MASTER VOLUME
push-SWITCH BRIDGE'S SERIES/PARALEL

MASTER TONE:
pot-Controls MASTER TONE
push-SWITCH NECK & MIDDLE'S HUMBUCKER/SINGLE

BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME:
pot-Controls BRIDGE'S BLEND VOLUME (when is not selected)
push-SWITCH BRIDGE'S HUMBUCKER/SINGLE

------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks again!
Gus

However, even that had a few problems. Be sure to read this before looking at the diagram. (Well . . . come back and read this.)

As Fender Punk said earlier, it makes more sense to arrange the controls physically to match the position of the the pups they control. So I went with:

Master volume: switch splits the neck and middle.

Master tone: switch splits the bridge.

Bridge blend: switch selects parallel for the bridge. (With a "twist".)

One of the problems with you idea of having one switch to "split", and a separate switch to "parallel" means that if you had both pulled up at the same time, you'ld kill output to the whole guitar. So, with this simple technique, with both bridge push-pull's down, you have full humbucker mode. Pull the blend pot and you "parallel" the bridge. Now the tone pot switch will go back and forth between split and parallel. (Allows you to instantly hear the difference between both.)

If you pull the tone pot switch first, you get "split" mode and the blend pot will do nothing. You never have to worry about killing the output.

Edit: The blend pot push-pull does nothing. The blend pot itself always works.

Split mode always takes precedence over parallel mode when both pots are "up". Does that make sense?

Let me know if you have any questions.
Artie

Man... if you're serious that is possible... I can't believe!!!
Well, Fender_Punk has been excited also so I think it'll be the one!
Artie, I thought you was out for so long that you had give up on me. Sorry about that... and thanks for giving me such a nice gift as this diagram!!!

Let me know if you have any questions.
Artie

I didn't understand some things...

There's a red capacitor/resistor/transistor or something like that between the Master Volume and Master Tone pots, what kind of? What resistance? These kind of things used to have a wire longer than the other, do I have to worry about it?

There's another white thing on the 5 way switch, also like a capacitor, is that something that already come with that switches?

May I ground the Blue wires with that down arrow sign? Ground on my Bridge (not pup bridge, the bridge) at the backside of my Strat? Just ground that 3 wires? In many diagrams I saw some wires been grounding to a pot, won't this happen in my case?

Where's Middle & Neck's green wires?

Do that colors on the 5 way switch means anything? And what about the blue Lugs on the right side? Won't it be used?

About the Blend Pot detail: That is the upside view, right? May I scratch the carbon trace so I CUT the signal between that two Lugs?

I understand that I could kill the output with that ideas... Are you saying that I don't have to bother because this diagram already solve this?

Well... sorry about ALL that answers!
I'm so happy that all ideas can be together again!!!
I think this is the one I'm looking for and now I just need to solve this doubts!
My new pickups will arrive in 2 or 3 weeks! I bought it these days and now I'm waiting!!! Always waiting!!!!

I need a tip: Do you guys know where can I find the Push/PUSH (not push/pull) 500K pots? Everyone is saying that for Strat Knobs I'll have pull problems... what you think?

Thanks again!!! I'll never get tired of thank you guys!!!

Well, don't take it personally but if Artie's diagram will give me all that options I think I'll stick with that!

Anyway I must say that I'm grateful for everything that everyone posted here to help me!!!

Thanks a lot!

Re: Stack vs Single Sized Humbuckers / Opinions on Strat's Switch/Split Pups Installa

Man, what ever diagram gives you the results you want most, go for it. I thought I had incoporated everything you wanted in mine, but I would take Artie's over mine as his has the cool twist.

I don't know where to get push/push pots, but if you have new knobs, or knobs that have never been removed, thet should be good to be moved onto a push/pull and stay on, if not, buy chrome knobs!! They look sick anyway!

As for the "white spirally wire" it's a spring, don't worry about it, it's not a wire. the blue wire from the tone pot go to the volume pot casing, the volume ground goes to the ground on the output jack (the third blue wire). The ground wire from the tremelo also goes to the volume pot casing.

When you say Chrome you mean that ones that come with Jackson's guitar? Do you know which one I'm talking about? That should be easy to pull!

So, basically the Master Volume Pot's Casing is where I must Ground EVERYTHING! Including the tremolo. Right?

Thanks Fender_Punk! Again!!!

No problem.

When you say Chrome you mean that ones that come with Jackson's guitar? Do you know which one I'm talking about? That should be easy to pull!

Well, specifically I meant the Telecaster ones, as they screw into the shaft and are well locked into place. If the Jackson ones are the same (which I bet they are) then sure!

So, basically the Master Volume Pot's Casing is where I must Ground EVERYTHING! Including the tremolo. Right?

Yep, and then the Master Volume is sent to the output ground!

Thanks Fender_Punk! Again!!!
Gus

(Insert cheesy super hero music here) No problem. HAHA.

Like I said before this is a good practise of what I know, so I should be thanking you. Please keep my schematic, and Artie, if you could redraw it using whatever you used that'd be cool. Hopefully mine is of use to you or someone you know some day! If only there were on/on/on push/pulls I'd have filled all your requirements without drilling a hole in the pickguard!!:banghead:

Artie, I thought you was out for so long that you had give up on me. Sorry about that... and thanks for giving me such a nice gift as this diagram!!!

There's always a way.
Its the last week before my boy graduates high-school, and I've had my hands full with . . . "stuff".

I didn't understand some things...

There's a red capacitor/resistor/transistor or something like that between the Master Volume and Master Tone pots, what kind of? What resistance? These kind of things used to have a wire longer than the other, do I have to worry about it?

The orange thing is your tone cap. Use any value you prefer. I like .022uf but a lot of folks use a .047uf in a Strat.

There's another white thing on the 5 way switch, also like a capacitor, is that something that already come with that switches?

Thats the little spring that operates the switch. Its just shown for clarity. If you look at the bottom of your 5-way, you'll see it.

May I ground the Blue wires with that down arrow sign? Ground on my Bridge (not pup bridge, the bridge) at the backside of my Strat? Just ground that 3 wires? In many diagrams I saw some wires been grounding to a pot, won't this happen in my case?

Yeah, just make all your grounds as usual. The blue arrows and the bridge ground and all the green and bare pup wires connect together. Also, if you ground to the back of the pots, they'll connect to the same place. Be careful if you do that. Push-pull pots can be tricky to solder to. I don't do it, myself.

Where's Middle & Neck's green wires?

Added 'em. Sorry about that. They can connect to any ground, anywhere. It doesn't need to be exactly where I drew them. Those are just two convenient connection points.

Do that colors on the 5 way switch means anything? And what about the blue Lugs on the right side? Won't it be used?

Thats a technique I use in my drawings for clarity. The dark red terminal is the "common" that connects to the light red terminals. The dark blue terminal is the "common" that connects to the light blue terminals. And no, you don't need the other side of the switch.

About the Blend Pot detail: That is the upside view, right? May I scratch the carbon trace so I CUT the signal between that two Lugs?

That shows looking at the back of the pot after you've removed the cover. Use an Exacto knife, or similar, (don't cut your finger off), and cut gently through the yellow line. If possible, have an ohm-meter across the outside two terminals. Gently cut 'til the ohm-meter goes to infinity, or "open".

I understand that I could kill the output with that ideas... Are you saying that I don't have to bother because this diagram already solve this?

Exactly. My diagram won't leave you on stage looking like an idiot.

Well... sorry about ALL that answers!

No problem. You're very welcome.

I need a tip: Do you guys know where can I find the Push/PUSH (not push/pull) 500K pots? Everyone is saying that for Strat Knobs I'll have pull problems... what you think?

Hopefully, someone else will know. I'm not sure where to get push-push switches. And you're right, push-pulls will be a bit more difficult with Strat knobs.

Good luck with your project and don't hesitate to ask if you still have questions or problems.

I would do this just a bit differently since you're using push-pull pots. Give me 'til this evening and I'll post a pic of a possibly better idea.

That's fine! I'm glad you're back! Good luck with your boy!

The orange thing is your tone cap. Use any value you prefer. I like .022uf but a lot of folks use a .047uf in a Strat.

I saw that .047u is more often used on Strat Guitars so I think I'll stick on it!

Also, if you ground to the back of the pots, they'll connect to the same place. Be careful if you do that. Push-pull pots can be tricky to solder to. I don't do it, myself.

So, here you talk about BARE wires... So there's a Bare Wire on every pup that I must Ground with all others, right?

Added 'em. Sorry about that. They can connect to any ground, anywhere. It doesn't need to be exactly where I drew them. Those are just two convenient connection points.

I'll wait for your next post like you said you think there's a better place to ground every wire.

(don't cut your finger off)

I'll try!

and cut gently through the yellow line

There is a Yellow line there? Or the Yellow line of your drawing?

Exactly. My diagram won't leave you on stage looking like an idiot.

Thank God!


Well, I'm still trying to get Push-Push Pots cause I don't want to change my Strat look... I've found it in a web-store, Warmoth.com does anybody know that?

Re: Stack vs Single Sized Humbuckers / Opinions on Strat's Switch/Split Pups Installa

Hey Guys... have you heard of using a Bridge Pup Model in the Middle spot?

I'm asking this because I use bridge's pup a lot more than the others... Do you think it could be good? To get a Cool Rails Bridge or even a Little 59 Bridge and put it in the Middle?

The store didn't send me yet so I thought you can help me...

Just to spice this crazy ideas!!!^^
Thanks for your patience with me!!!

You can, and I use to think of doing that. Note that a bridge pup in the middle position won't be RW/RP. Try it out if you want, but personally I'd suggest going with a middle pup.
