Yup. A Push pull and mini toggle switch drilled into the pickguard.

Right now I have the push pull set to have the bridge pup on, so I get like, two more pickup combos. The mini switch previously gave me out of phase switching but that sounds horrible no matter what so I need more ideas

Hi,
Not quite sure what Your looking for sound wise but I would wire the humbucker thru the mini switch for single coil/humbucker or series/parallel if You want humcancelling and use the push pull to bring on the neck p/up along with the bridge in position #1 ie: the 5 way set to the bridge, then all #3 p/ups in position #2

i don't have a humbucker in my strat.

um, there's so much text on the site...it's like geofex all over again! Can you recommend some mods from that site and link me directly?

Tell us a bit of your guitar, your PU and what do you want. You could get out of phase, humbucking possibilities, more parallels possibilities, all PU's. The "solo mod" which bypasses with a dpdt tone and volume control, which you can use at your solos..(it will sound a bit bright, though)

3 single-coils seymourduncans with a Twangbanger (tele-replica) in the bridge.

Same old strat controls.

Master volume (with push pull), neck tone, bridge/middle tone.

Five way.


Yer.


About the solo mod, is it really all that noticeable of a tone difference ot be worth chanign? and does it bypass the pots for a pups or just one?

QSQCaito

If you're playing with your controls volume and tone 10/10 there won't be mucch difference.. if you play with vol and tone 6/6 youll hear the difference and get a "boost" fot the solo..

Word.

I like the ultra strat mod.

How can I do it so I can just make series for the 2 & 4 positions?

None of that spdt switch crap.

and theres nothing wrong with geofex...text or pictures, theres too much important information on both of those pages to just ignore.
no longer the battle of midway...(i left that band)...

i hate signatures with gear lists/crap for sale....

i am a wah pervert...ask away...

Geez, there's a lot of discussion about guitar modifications here.
As far as the Ultra Strat™ Mod, I'd highly recommend it.  That's my website.  :icon_smile:
Yes, I've personally wired a few of my own guitars like that.
