The Best Wiring Scheme For Your Guitar || Tone Lab

[@lennyluzitano8920]

love your guitar playing dude.... so proud of you young man..... i am 66 years old..... you are so young and have great blues, jazz, and rock style fuzed together..... God has blessed you with great talent and woderful personality

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks so much

[@drewg3087]

For me the 50s wiring just sounds incredible. I like the fullness of the tone and able to add a little more trouble if needed. I have it in my list Paul Junior and Gibson Les Paul so maybe I’m biased but I think I’m gonna stick with the 50s wiring for my telly, but the grease bucket is very tempting, and it’ll be cool to have a different wiring for a different guitar.

[@rexturner8208]

Just converted my Korean Strat from single coils to DiMarzio Cruisers with treble bleed ala Andy Timmons. Love his tone. Thanks for this rundown.

[@smokepeddler]

You can custom load any pot to any resistance by soldering a resitor to the outside lugs. Example: 500k pot with 1 meg resistor + lead on lug 1 ~ lead on lug 3 = approx 340k .

[@nmonye01]

The kind of wiring scheme one uses is an underrated part of the guitar. Great video.

[@hybridnoisebloom]

Great explanation of the 50s Gibson style wiring. It probably makes sense for me to do it that way because I don't use the tone knob a whole lot, so rolling the volume won't mess with the tone setting so much. Thanks!

[@juddalexander5642]

Killer!. I'd love to see more of this type of info. I find it all interesting and useful. Thanks for doing these.

Thanks so much. These specialized videos are always really fun to make :)

He has other videos on pickups that include dome free downloads of PDF of schematics for wiring SSS, HSS, HHH pickup configurations.

[@1mdlmusic]

My favorite mod for a 2 pickup guitar is one volume control for each pu, no tone knob, and no selector switch. This allows for a nearly infinite number of tones by mixing trebley bridge pu sounds with bassier neck pu sounds.

[@jakefromstatefarm4771]

interesting

[@mihailmilev9909]

why not more tone knobs?

[@1mdlmusic]

@@mihailmilev9909 Don’t need them. I’m already confused by 2 knobs, so why add more…

[@olenfersoi8887]

Note that there is a 4th variation of treble bleed...and that is to use 2 resistors, one in series & one in parallel with the capacitor. I've settled on a "Super Duper" Strat wiring plan: which is the 9-way HSS Strat wiring (push-pull tone pots, allowing series & parallel pickup blends as well as all three pickups on at once, or bridge & neck on)...plus two added pots: One to blend the outputs of the two tone pots, and a pot to control a variable treble bleed on the volume control. This setup gives virtually any desired option. Two other possibilities are (1) is to add a 3-way switch for the bridge humbucker to allow it to be Normal, Reverse Phase, or Split Coil...and Replace the middle single coil pickup with a Lace AlumaTone type. About the only other option I can think of is to make provision to switch in a resister to 500KOhm pots to convert effectively to 250 KOhm. However, the tone controls pretty much accomplish the same effect, so that could be redundant. If the split coil switch is incorporated, such a resister could be incorporated into whichever circuit is appropriate, depending upon the pot resistance chosen. The 10-way Freeway switch offers some of these options, but not all of them.

[@umangu]

Your playing is incredible and you explained it so well man, thanks! It's so evident that the guitar and tone are inspiring you to play what you're playing.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Cool sounds, I have the same Tele with "Texas Specials" and when I turn down the volume it sounds the same only quieter. I believe the standars wiring is still the most usable after (like you) having tried every mod known and not known with caps of all kinds. Best Tone I ever heard was an Esquire with a .050mf wax /paper cap, in a Fender every tiny little change can alter the tone, even the thickness of the wires used for the pots/switches...super sensitive. Keep up the sterling work!

[@hearpalhere]

I really enjoyed this video, thanks! You did a good job of explaining the pros & cons. The more I learn about these kinds of modifications, the more I can see that there is no single best way... it's really variable. Thanks!

I’d love to hear about series/parallel as well as in-phase/out-of-phase!

[@TheFarout69]

Check out the Dan Armstrong article... "A More Versatile Strat" It's somewhere on the internet. His mod does all those tricks with only a blender pot. It's drawn for S/S/S but it could be used on a H/S as well if the humbucker is 4 wire.

Man, that Grease Bucket tone control set to zero sound you got is exactly what I strive for when choosing pot/cap values! …when it’s right there’s something “magical” happening in the mids, to me…. Thanks for the info!

[@51MontyPython]

I have spent the last several days doing nothing but trying to research and understand how guitar circuits work, to no avail. It's been a total waste of time, _not_ because I'm not intelligent enough to understand, but because I can find literally _no_ resources out there that actually explain this (like, at _all,_ let alone sufficiently), _particularly_ how the circuit works with respect to the tone pot(s) -- how and where the signal is actually flowing, from what input to what output, and _WHY_ one connection is made and not another. If you could do a video (or series) which actually explain these things in depth enough (or at all), I would GREEEEATLY appreciate it. I'll go ahead and subscribe at any rate.

The 4-way switch adding the series wiring for both pickups is a great mod! Just have to disconnect the ground from the pickup cover and add another wire leading to the switch. It’s an amazing mod, and I’m adding this to the circuit of my tele build.

[@stephengaren2219]

I have the grease bucket mod in two of my Strats. One Strat has it on both volume controls. One Strat has it on the bottom tone control. The Strat with the two GB tone circuits is heavily modded under the hood with 8 tonal/7 pickup combinations. Normally it would have seven sounds (using the mini toggle switch), but one capacitor inside pulls a little too end off the pickups, with the mini toggle switch engaged, on one position of the 5-way switch. I call it the mystery cap, because I have no idea what value that capacitor is and told the tech not to tell me. Truly a mojo thing for me. Both Strats have the bottom tone control wired for the bridge pickup. The other for the middle pickup. My two other Strats are wired standard. The reason for the GB mod in my Strats is not only because of what is stated in this video, but also because of having tinnitus in one ear. Rolling off the highs helps to keep the pounding in my ear down, which occurs with certain high frequencies. I tried the treble bleed mod once, but removed it immediately, as the frequency, even at lower volume, messed with my tinnitus. My tone is more warm mid-range than treble. So my tinnitus actually helped me develop my own sound. More of a singing characteristic than a screaming one. Lol

[@tomaskey6844]

Thanks for the info and especially for tying it to tinnitus. I have it loud in stereo and it definitely makes a difference. I could never get a gig as a sound man.

There's only a couple ways to wire a two-pickup guitar. LP wiring gives you maximum control, but can be fiddly. I think Tele wiring with a basic master V&T and a 3-way is plenty useful. When I built my strat, I did a blender pot and that is surprisingly useful. LOTS of tonal colors available when you can blend in a tiny bit of bridge to the neck, or neck to the middle, etc.

*only a couple ways people do wire them. However there are endless ways to wire it actually.

I would love to see more videos like these. I think more people could benefit to understand how much simple mods on the guitar can contribute to your playing and finding 'your' tone. I have a simple treble bleed on an LP, Duncan on a Jazzmaster (with strat pickups) and a I have a Warmoth Mooncaster that I did a master Volume with a simple circuit but Duncan bleeds on the volume of neck and bridge pickups. I would like to see videos like this maybe on series/parallel and jimmy page wiring. I think those are two interesting and common ones others would enjoy as well.

I bin watching videos about coil split and series parallel for a few weeks now. Fortunately they are many. This leads me to abandon any intention of wiring my bucker guitars in any configuration OTHER THAN plain old series normal. The differences earned by altered wiring are negligible to ears.

Dual humbucker guitars with 2 volume and 2 tone pots are best wired 50's style. Dual humbucker guitars with a single volume and tone pot work best with a SD style treble bleed curcuit on modern wiring. 3 pickup guitars like HSS strats with coilsplitable humbuckers can get really complex wiring schemes happening with DiMarzio superswitches. I'm itching to tear my Sterling Cutlass CT50 HSS apart again to change a couple switch positions from series to parallel. Tried it with positions 2&3 in series and don't like it. Gonna wire them in parallel and add a DPDT microswitch to get series in all positions when needed. SD treble bleed curcuit with modern wiring when there's only one volume and tone pot on my HSS has transformed the guitars usability. Don't forget to use the correct value components and high quality tone capacitors.

[@joshuamedendorp4073]

Which caps are you using for your greasebucket? 0.1, 0.022, and 4.7k resistors like S.Duncan suggest? I am thinking of 0.05 caps instead of the 0.1 and 0.01 instead of the 0.022. Keeping with the 4.7k resistors and going with a 0.002 treble bleed with 100k resistor.

So all you need is a 5-way switch so you can use any of the circuits. Then a couple 6-way knobs so you can have different capacitor values to choose from. Never heard of the grease bucket before. I like it. To me, that's what a "tone" knob should do, dramatically alter the tone. The standard version is nothing more than a variable low pass filter. Yeah, it alters the tone technically. But the grease bucket made it sound like an entirely different instrument, not just muffled.

how about a 6 position rotary knob to have a choice from different capacitor selections and also wire a 6 position rotary switch to select which resistor to select for which capacitor for the parallel configuration.
