This is one I did to my strat, along with wiring up the neck tone pot to work on the bridge pickup as well. So what I get is a tone control on the bridge in pos. 1 or 2 and the tone on the neck in 4 and 5. In 6 or 7, the neck pot becomes a master tone for neck and bridge, tele style. In any position that involves the middle pickup(2,3,4,7), it retains it original, independent tone control.

I am definitely doing this when I get ready to put my guitar back together. I have a J. Reynolds guitar that is a direct Strat copy. It was my very first guitar (almost 12 years now). It's not the best quality guitar, but it's my first and my dad bought it for me so a friend of mine talked me into refurbishing it. I've been researching for days on ideas of what I might want to do. I'm going with some new pickups, I'm in the process of sanding the body right now and plan to paint it later this week, and probably going to order a custom neck from Warmoth customs. I saw a video earlier of a guy who did this with a Strat he had and it sounded absolutely amazing. Now that I've found the video that explains how to do it, I'm in. Thanks for this video, very informative.

I've done a lot of searching, but I like your videos the best. Very clear and easy to follow. You really seem to know your craft, so thought I'd ask for some advice for the best way to configure my guitar with the parts I have. I really like this 7-way strat (or maybe even the nine) but was hopping to maybe include a push/pull for a little in/out phase, and/or a blend pot. So here is what I have to play with: 3 single coils, a 5-way selector, 3 A250k pots, 1 B250k pot (not sure what the diff is between A & B), 1 A250k push/pull dpdt pot, 1 Blending pot, and a 2A473J cap (might pick up another if suggested). The pick guard is setup for three knobs, but a fourth could fit comfortably if needed. Anyway, hope i wasn't to long winded and thank you in advance.

Wow. This is so cool. This is a really cool idea. If you did it with a push pull pot on the tone pot for the middle pickup, down there by the jack, then there would be no new holes, and no little switch to hit your hand on. For me, I do not like things sticking up and getting in the way. Another option would be those flatter switches like on a Jaguar, but I do not like those. Those little toggle switches are hard to deal with in that they can melt when trying to solder them. Plus they are fragile.

Exactly what was looking for, simple toggle wiring add-on. I have a micro toggle switch, sunk so that only the tip is sticking through the p/g about an 1/8" it has a small rectangular, or oblong hole for the toggle to move in. This comes through between the pots and the selector. and is just wide enough to flip it. This was done by using a piece of sheet metal about 2 1/2 inches wide, and having it bent into a z type shape with two of the pots holding it to the p/g and the bent part, which is about an inch wide, carrying the micro toggle. Which even though it is "micro" still would normally be sticking up a good 1/2 inch or more if the threaded base and all is attached directly to the p/g. If this makes any sense, hope it helps someone looking for a way to lower a toggle switch so maybe it isn't inadvertently flipped so easy. I'm going to now add in a piece of PCB board somehow (maybe have to make another wider piece of sheetmetal) which will include a socket, so I can change out the capacitor.

The perfect strat set up if I do say so myself.

Excellent, very well presented. However unless youre only playing country it doesnt give you any of the pickup combinations that would make a strat an all-round guitar for the cover band/session musician. I have seen a similar use of a pull/push where positions 2&4 are full humbucking and sound like the bridge and neck pickups on a les paul. Into a clean amp they give you a fatter warmer sound BUT into an overdriven amp or pedal the difference is huge and you can play everything from Dire Straits to Gary Moore with the same guitar. It also isan invisible mod and doesnt change the look of your guitar. If you can afford a Fender S1 switch it is even better and simple to activate on the fly. Nice video presentation though, Ive never seen a more well presented example explaining strat switching mods.

I think this video asks a second question, and that is what is the best type of switch to put in a guitar to compliment the regular pickup selector switch. That is for another video, but it is a great question, because people have figured out how to get new sounds with the wiring by adding an extra switch. The question now is what is the best type of switch to install.

I see a jumper between the 2 tone pots on my guitar and on other strat diagrams. Then sometimes I don't see one. If Tone (1) is the middle pickup and Tone (2) is the neck, why have a jumper? It seems this would bleed them together......right? I also see some with the neck and the bridge wired up leaving the middle out (this set- up usually leaves the jumper out). Bet you could make a whole video on this subject. Thanks in advance, if you could shed some light on this.

The jumper is only used if you wish to have 2 pickups sharing a tone pot. In this particular mod that not happening so there isn't a jumper but let's say you wanted to have the middle and neck share one pot and the bridge the other, you'd have a jumper installed. The wiring on this switch right now isn't for having the right side of the switch really in use for tone control.

Is it possible to do this and have the bridge tone control?

I made a slight adjustment to this mod so that I could have tone control over the bridge position and was wondering if there are any ill effects... Instead of going from lug 2 of the 5-way to lug 1 of the bottom tone control, I went from lug 1 of the 5-way to lug 1 of the bottom tone. This way, the only position I don't have tone control over is the middle only position. I haven't strung it back up yet, but everything seems to work right when I do the screwdriver tap test. Am I sacrificing anything else besides the mid position tone control when I do this? Thanks so much for making these videos! I've learned a lot from just watching a few!

Hey there... I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the right lug that you're referring to but the 1st Lug (B1) on the right side of the 5-way is a common lug (corresponds to A4). You wouldn't want to use it for tone. Watch this video and you'll see how to get individual tone on the bridge and keep another for neck/middle: HSS Strat w/7-Way, Dual Cap and Coil Split Mods Don

Breja ToneWorks I think what I mean is lug A1 on the 5way (first one on the left that the bridge pup is wired directly to). So, the way it's set up in this video, I basically have the green wire that's coming from the tone pot going to the switch lug that the bridge pickup is wired to instead of the lug that the mid pickup is wired to. That dual cap mod seems to be the ideal setup for me, so I'll probably just do that eventually. Thanks for the reply, Don!

dcap4545 I really think you'll like the 7-Way/Dual Cap mod - it's my favorite one.

Cool tutorial. Thanks! I’m planning on doing this mod to my Strat with a push pull (I can’t bear to modify the pick guard on their; I haven’t been able to find another like it). Question- the potentiometer I got is a 500k as opposed to the 250s that are in there now (the pickups are all still stock). Will the 500k pot work, or will it just alter the sound way too much?

If you have a humbucker pickup you want to use 500K to make sure that all of its output can come through. It can make the single coils be a little brighter, but it doesn't bother me. This could be wrong, but I think it only matters on the volume control. I'm not certain. I'm not Breja Tone Works.

I'm trying to incorporate this mod to my already modded Strat but I'm not sure it will work. I have a coil split humbucker at the bridge already done with a on/off/on switch so it acts like a second pickup selector but I also would like it to do this by adding a push/pull pot. Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

I want to know too!!! can you show me how to wire a coil split humbucker! I need assistance on that I have a JB Jr pickup and I am building this strat What I was told is that I need 2 push pulls (one for 7 way) (one for coil split) because they use the same lugs

The Fender fanatic 97 I already have a 3way switch to coil split my bridge humbucker. When I tried to apply this particular mod in this video to the already modified circuit (having all 3 pickups fire at the same time and just the outer pickups) I used a push/pull pot in addition to the 3way switch. The problem I encountered was that the switch was always powering the humbucker no matter what. I think the mod you want to do, Breja has a video on if not this one. Coil splitting a humbucker can be done with many devices and I'm pretty sure Breja tone works has covered it in a video.

Thanks for the vid! Is there any particular reason for putting the cap on lug 1? I have opened original wiring on 1985 MIJ Roadstar and other guitars and saw lug 2 used?

Hey Mike... Good question. Make no difference at all on Tone Pot. Personal Preference. What's more important is what lug is used on Volume pot to connect to Tone Pot (Modern Wiring or Vintage Wiring) Don

Can you not turn the bridge on when in the middle position, for parallel rather than series like the standard?

+Liam Robins I'm not entirely sure I understand you, Liam. This particular mod is only for the addition of the Neck pickup so that you get the NECK/MIDDLE/BRIDGE or BRIDGE/NECK combinations. It won't do anything for Series/Parallel. For that - you'd need some additional components.
