I'm wiring my one volume, one tone "strat" copy... This should be really simple, but I'm over-tired, so here's what I've drawn up - does it look right? Thanks!  |

Makes sense to me, but I don't know for sure how that switch works. You will only have tone on one pickup- is this intended?

Strats and other single coil guitars/basses tend to use 250k to get a warmer tone. If you want to use 500k you can. The switch is fine. It's one of the Japanese switches used on pretty much all Squire strats. Strats usually have one tone per pickup. If you only have one tone pot its usually a master tone. That looks something like this.  Now imagine that switch unfolded like a book. The lugs would be on one plane and in a row. |

Von, I believe you're right about the Japanese switch... I opted for the 500k pots 'cuz I figured if I want that warmer tone, well, that's what the tone pot is for, right?!?! Thanks for your input, jhng and vonFrenchie!  By the way, von, I'm originally from Milwaukee... What parts of WI are you in??? |

I've edited my picture to show the jumpers that allow the tone pot to work for all three pickups. Sorry, I was very tired when I first drew that up, and I just missed it... Thanks for the input! |
