HSS Stratocaster- trying to wire a blend mod

[toanmasta]

Hi there,
Recently been trying to learn how make a blend mod for my Strat; It would have been easy if it had a 5 way pickup switch however, it has a super switch so theres not many diagrams online for HSS config so I have been trying hard to learn why the wires connect the way they do. Ideally, I want the blend on the 2nd tone knob and to be able to play the neck and bridge in conjunction without the middle.
Truthfully, I have no idea what I'm doing so if anybody can critique my diagram and let me know if the wiring would allow me to blend it would be much appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to G-Nutz2!

I'm not sure if we have a diagram to do exactly what you want. I didn't have the time to go through your diagram but I was questioning how that blend would work with the middle pickup selected at position 4. It may be OK, but let's get a better set of eyes on it.

However, you should look at this scheme from JohnH:

guitarnuts2.proboards.com/thread/8244/simple-blended-strat-series-parallel

First, John's scheme has some good ideas you may want to consider. His scheme blends one bridge coil with the neck in series instead of in parallel. He also specifies the use of no-load pots for the tone and blend pots; regardless of the tone pot, using a no-load for the blend is a good idea to take that pot out of the circuit when not in use.

But even if JohnH's scheme doesn't intrigue you, it can serve as a starting point for a diagram for you as well.

Also note that, AFAIK, JohnH's scheme has not yet been built. If you are going to use it, we should probably have it reviewed first, just as a double check.

Thanks for linking my old design. It's one that combines my favourite options from HSS, with no fluff. On the blending, it does both series and parallel blending of neck single and a bridge coil.

It should be checked just for QA, since I haven't actually built it to date.
