Wiring Up My Strat

[Devil Tiger]

Well I'm finally get my new strat together and I need some help on wiring.

Where can I get a simple-easy to read wiring diagram for a strat with two single coils, one JB and a 5 way switch 1 volume pot and 2 tone pots?

Also, where can I get cheap but good wire for my wiring of the guitar? I looked at Stewart-Macdonald http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electro...re,_cables/Shielded_Guitar_Circuit_Wires.html and that's pretty expensive but if that's what is mostly around I can deal with it.

Use the Schematics at Seymour Duncan Schematic.

Lew Guitar sells strat wiring kits thru his site or his Lew's Strat wiring kit on eBay

If you are just looking for wire try Wire at Guitar Electronics

Start here: http://seymourduncan.com/support/schematics.shtml Maybe a combination based around this: http://seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/3singlecoils_1vol_2tones.html

Re: Wiring Up My Strat

also guitarnuts.com has simplified "guitarist-friendly" diagrams. He has a section on switching options for humbuckers.

As for wire - any stranded wire - an old computer power supply, whatever.

Will that work? Do humbuckers have the same output wires as a single-coil?
