Thank You so much for this video. Perfect work and perfect installation instructions

Hello i have 2 ground wire coming from the bridge pickup, maybe the other ground comes from Bridge plate. Can both ground from bridge pickup and plate go to the pot?

Could you please explain why you used 600V tolerant capacitors which are waaaay huuuge, than the same but 5V tolerant? The output of your pickups will unlikely go over 1V, so I am curious why do you need this overkill? Am I missing anything?

You can't flop a small solder connection like that back and forth repeatedly. It will snap and you will be starting over. If the braided wire is coming out of a channel in a guitar, you physically can't flop it back and forth either. The best example of how to solder braided wire would be heating the pot and the wire in contact with each other and then feeding in the solder. What you've demonstrated can't be done in the real world.

Hi! if I want to connect two split Humbuckers as master tone, C1 C2 I connect the pickups, the grounding should be 1 and 3... where do I connect the grounding pin? (the bottom left pin or the central one? which becomes the ground?) and the signal that goes to the 5-way selector of a strat? (not so if I explained myself well) ...??

Does it have to be a five way switch or can you do this with a three way switch?

I have never used long shaft pots on a Les Paul.

Thank you for this vidéo! Could you tell me how does the PIO capcitor affect the sound? Thanks a lot

The best tutorial on you tube for guitar mods ,,,

I’m about to do this with a push/push 1st tone knob on my HSS pro II. The 2nd tone knob is a coil split for the humbucker.

Gorgeous capacitor

Currently doing a double p90 strat build. Would this wiring circuit work with a 3 way telecaster switch rather than a gibo toggle?

Dude seriously this was SO helpful, thank you so much

This is super helpful, thanks. One question I have is can the grounding wire to the tremolo be bare, as per the one you used earlier in the video, or did you use a covered wire for better performance?

Very easy to follow, and makes a lot of sense, so thank you for that. However you did not mention one thing in particular which has thrown me for a loop (but you did show the diagram briefly in the video), which is the 9 Way Strat Wiring diagram on your website. The diagram shows the Tone Pots lying on their sides rather than vertically, but there is nothing to indicate which side is right or left, which end is the top or the bottom, and the pins are not numbered, so I have no idea which pins are to be wired. Can this be addressed or corrected on the wiring diaram?

Thanks!!

Fuck, you do great work and make it look so easy. I cannot solder to save my life - solder won't melt, iron evaporates solder - its not in my soul to solder/understand electronics.

Do you do any prewiring for ML style 1v 2T HH I can do it but yours looks so much nicer

I wish on the diagrams to hook up switches and pots to the pickups we could know how it works. While see all the wiring diagrams seeing how each is wired confuses the heck out of me.

Thanks for posting ! The best teacher !

Awesome. Thanks! Will be looking to be one of your customers!

I loved thanks.❤

I love your channel, I learned a lot....a hug here from Parana Brazil....

How to use this key in the hss version?

great video !!, i moded my HH '98 strat to HSS that way but while single coils sounds amazing, humbucker is a little bit too dark - any suggestions what can be done to improve it ?

Could you add onto this video with the changes with a import switch or single wafer 5 way switch ty

Just WOW!!!

@six string supplies Using the solder as a wire does it affect tone since its about 10 percent or less that of coppers conductivity?

Thankyou! great vid

very usefull who, woulda thought

I don't know why I watched this today since I wired my telecaster with a 4-way switch yesterday. I wish I had watched this because there are some frayed cloth insulation ends and that heat shrink tubing would have been a nice touch. I might go back and do a treble bleed.

It's not a Faraday cage. It's shielding. The tops of the pickups, are exposed. Same as leaving the door to the cage open. If it were a proper Faraday cage, the entire system would be enclosed. Just as effective as shielding, check your circuitry for anything that has an AC motor; A/C unit, refrigerator, etc.,. Take it out of the circuit. (Use a different circut breaker.) That will cure as much 60 cycle hum as shielding.

What temperature are you using?

how about combine with treble bleed in 50' wiring?

Thanks very good video 😊

super merci

First class tutorial 👍🏻 Thanks so much 👍🏻

Wait... how did it sound in the end???? Cliffhanger!!

You a moooooron. Name it wiring push pulls

Nice video with great camera work...thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm just about to do my own rewire on a LP Studio.

impeccable! I have watched a lot of these and your result hit home with me best somehow. Going to try this for the first time this weekend! upgrading my high school strat for the first time. Thank You!

Hi there! Is there a Super Strat build for a SSS ?

Thank you.

Hey If my pickup resistance is 200 k . Would a 250 k pot give more volume range than a 500k . And tone as well I have wired a humbucker parallel so its ultra quiet However the resistance of the pickup is 200 k . And i am having issues with a 500k tone capacitor acting essentially as a switch with no range at all. If this makes sense to you and if you can help me, thank you

Excellent. The tone control stopped working and then the volume went intermittent. Thanks to your assistance my bass sounds nice now.

very clean wiring style👍

can't you just use the same copper tape on the backside of the pickguard instead of the aluminum shield plate??

Unfortunately, the info I need the most is how to connect the pickups, which gets no time in this video and you actually move the switch off screen when you briefly mention it. Everything else is crystal.

This video really helped me out a lot. Soldiering has never been my specialty, but there were a lot of little tricks and technique caught on camera that I picked up on. I'm pretty happy with the results and looks almost identical minus the difference in pots/capacitors and the pickups used. I didn't have an aluminum plate so I soldered a bare fluxed wired across all 3 pots.
