Fender S-1 Switching System - EMPIRE MUSIC

[@piperofsimms]

Thanks Todd, I have this blue Ultra and never knew exactly what was happening with the S-1. Great post. This strat is so well put together . I love the locking tuners and the ease and precision when tuning. Thank you...Tucson, AZ.

I'm using that in my strat build, add a true gilmour switch ( on/off from the neck pup directly to the volume knob and out, no capacitor ) and you end up with a 20 way and it does give some very cool changes, great video thanks for posing

[@jeffreymarkanich6076]

As usual, a great explanation Todd. Thanks so much!

[@StevenRockwood]

Comes standard on the Meteora as well!

[@black1582]

Dude, great video!

[@mikeaaron2819]

I have a 2016 Strat Elite and what he says is totally correct

[@azmike3572]

Noticed your shop's in Pittsburgh. You might remember the band I played in which released "It Ain't No Big Thing" by The Electrons; a local hit in '67. I retired to sunny Arizona.

Intersting!! How does one get the Bridge PU and neck PU together?

[@sweetpea7583]

how do you STOP the S1 from popping back up/it won't stay engaged (A. Deluxe Tele).

[@MG-hn9ed]

You’ll have to install a new S-1 switch. I had to do this before since the same thing happened to me.

[@sweetpea7583]

@@MG-hn9ed Thanks.

[@JSmith-mu3fq]

The S1- in bridge position is bridge and neck. Position 2- is all 3 together.

[@mikeaaron2819]

That’s the ultra not the elite.

[@johngrant765]

How about the Tele?

[@thewilythylacine]

Good demonstration. However, the Fender website has all the wiring options slightly different than your explanation. For example, S-1switch enabled in position 1 is all three pickups wired in series, according to Fender.

[@chrishull8887]

I think position 4 and 5 are out of phase too? With one pickup wired backwards like peter greens lp? I heard they did it differently on different guitars though so who knows

[@bills5430]

Nice guy and I appreciate the video but Todd needs a script, or at least outline what he's going to say. This could easily be a 2 minute video.

[@phenixreturns]

the most interesting thing was to add a tbx+Clapton boost and neck pickup +bridge pickup as single coil but Fender has not done that so, no so useful that you can imagine

[@phenixreturns]

they don't have the best wiring : neck and bridge pickups as single coils Ibanez did it = telecaster sound

[@TheDeathlist5]

dude, the pumping from using camera mic...

[@TheDeathlist5]

other than that great vid tho!

[@azmike3572]

Yes, use a lapel mic for sure.

[@strunzgracie]

This is the worst demo of the S-1 switch on the internet!!!

[@lawrencejordan3832]

Would be nice if he got to the point.

[@freerockstar]

For christ sake, before doing such video read the manual. When s1 switch engaged. In pos 1, It combines all 3 pickus in series. Be sure what you're saying instead of wasting our time with some wrong info. Pos 1 is the bridge!
