  • Another superswitch question

    Learning guitar wiring is extremely abstract to me. It reminds me of learning algebra in the 8th grade. It's all I think of and it's starting to freak me out!! The worst part is that I suddenly start to grasp some of it and then I go completely blank like someone pulled the plug on my Dell computer.

    I am building a Telecaster with a Humbucker in the neck position and a single coil at the bridge (Fat Tele). I can easily wire it like Fender's Fat Tele, but I want a couple more sounds than that. I bought one of those superswitches and was wondering if anyone can help me wire this thing for series, coil tapping and phase reversal options. Can I do this with a standard strat switch ??? HELP!!

    I installed a SS and until now forgot it was there (via push pull). I DID bring in true single coils in positions 2 and 4 from a HSH guitar. I just rarely need the others sounds anymore.
    The other thing is pups are designed to do what is most apparent; they will work best this way. The rest is a compromise.

    But if you're like me, you must do it anyways
    I went with a Jem SS basis (Google) for my design with help from another guy, who I promised not to disappoint by sharing his proto-design.

      I just finished wiring my Strat for series parallel switching and I found these sights interesting and useful.

      I the end I used a Standard Strat hookup diagram and Dan Torres hookup diagram and explanation of series parallel switching to put a hookup diagram together that worked.

      Let us know how it works out.
