Re: WIRING QUESTION
SO what should I change about it, lol. DIfferent Number of connections...
SOrry for sounding stupid.. I'm jsut frustrated I can't play my guitar.

Re: WIRING QUESTION
Correct both times.
Just use the Seymour Duncan three-way switch translation schematic to make sense of where to connect the pickups to the Swutchcraft-type toggle selector switch.
There are two ways to do the Telecaster-style three-way switch. The one that you posted is not the same one as illustrated in the SD schematic. Doesn't actually matter. There is only one way to hook up your Switchcraft toggle type.

Re: WIRING QUESTION
Two points.
Firstly, there is no need to create a parallel "branch" connection dividing each PU output between its respective Tone control and the selector switch. Just solder the PU output wire to the centre terminal of its respective Tone pot then run another cable to the selector switch.
Secondly, you have made two drawing errors on the DPDT contacts of the bridge PU Tone pot.
1) A spurious signal connection to the bottom left corner terminal.
2) No ground connection for the coil split from that same bottom left corner terminal.
Here is my version.

Re: WIRING QUESTION
Two additional points;
1) Notice how, on the bridge PU tone pot, I have used the switch terminals on the same side of the pot chassis as the other ground connections. This should make soldering operations and future servicing easier.
2) Connecting the four conductor cabling in the order that you have may create phase issues if you ever make multi-track recordings with more than one guitar that features Seymour Duncan pickups.

Re: WIRING QUESTION
Very interesting.
Not to be confusing, but for the coiul split, i always like to use tohe extreme single coil winding. Outer most. Bridge gives ear shattering sound on my screamin deamon and in the necks sh-2, the outer most coil gives a very funky jazz sound with some bite on the attack.
SO in short, on the Coil Splitting diagram page, I always use the bottom one

Re: WIRING QUESTION
It's okay Samus.
Usually it's hard to find help... Like i wasted my breath on tech support twice, so I was getting tired of getting no where.
BUT, the guitar works now! Thanks to FunkFingers help with the schematic, I've got my stratobucker back up and running.
Although I didn't realize that the bleed mod wouldn't allow me to totally cut off the volume, in the future i'll install a new dpdt volume pot with a switch for the bleed / normal volume controls.
Thanks again funkfingers, i really really appreciate it.

Re: WIRING QUESTION
Is there any more information you can give me about having a pot create an open circuit. Does it have a special name? YouTube videos? How-to's. I'm sure it's simple, just figure I'd ask. Thanks for the heads-up !

Re: WIRING QUESTION
Hmmmm, very interesting stuff. Wish I saw this before. Looks like i gotta just scratch off a section underneath the wiper at the end of the clockwise rotation /post hot lug. but this makes me wonder, will this not create a buzz from the circuit being open? have you done a mod like this?

Re: WIRING QUESTION
i've done it many times, its a "no-load" pot. i've never had an issue with buzzing or anything. i usually do it with tone pots though

Re: WIRING QUESTION
I shall probably do this. But now I'm hitting another odd thing... Yesterday evening i noticed that the bleed wouldn't allow me to kill the volume totally... But now I can.. What the heck lol. Regardless... It sounds fantastic. Just weird. I'm gonna try all the different settings.
