Mike Richardson's Strat Mods: Little help, please?

[ChrisK]

Welcome a'board, and, er, hold yer water Sparky!

Someone will (and has) come along when they have the (free) time.

This one in particular, but I'm hoping to modify it by using a 5-way Super Switch instead. I'd like to have the standard Strat combinations, and then with the switch toggled, to have Neck & Middle in series (as shown), Middle & Bridge in series (as shown), but rather than using the slightly out-of-phase combinations and leaving a position unused, I'd like to add Neck & Bridge in parallel, Neck & Bridge in series, as well as all 3 in series.

This is A Mike Richardson design. There are others that may already do most of what you want.

Here's one that I drew up and have used. Mike Richardson wiring with phase. It does the following:

1. B
2. B+M
3. B+N
4. M+N
5. N

and

1. B+M+N
2. B*M
3. B*N
5. M*N
5. B*M*N

I also added out of phase switching to the neck and bridge pickups. It doesn't do Middle alone, but then I don't use that anyway.

I'm new to the double-wafer Super Switch, but I'm pretty sure they're capable of all of the above.

Well, they're capable of a lot (4P5T), but the "lot" isn't known until the design is developed.

Does anyone know of any diagrams similar to this,

Yes, see our "Schematics" section. (It's called "homework".)

or, if I were really lucky, would anyone be able to explain how to lay out these types of combinations on a double-wafer Super Switch?

Are you asking if one can design something specifically for you,
or are you asking if one can enable you to design something specifically for you?

"How lucky do you feel?"
