Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and to electronics, and hoped I could get some wiring help. I want to modify my 2008 American Standard Stratocaster to approximate the American Deluxe HSS as in this wiring diagram:
http://support.fender.com/service_diagr ... A_SISD.pdf

I have bought a DiMarzio PAF Pro Humbucker, a S1 switch, a super 5 way selector switch and I'll be needing a lot more wire! The circuitry goes above my head a bit but I can follow how to solder the wires. However, the single coil neck and middle pickups in the deluxe have 3-conductor wires whereas the standards have 2. From other discussions, people have said the extra wire is just a ground for the casing. I presume this difference doesn't matter for the middle pickup because two of the three wires are grounded straight away in the deluxe wiring diagram.

However for the neck pickup, it looks like one wire is grounded to the back of the tone pot, one to the 2nd assay(sp?) of the S1 switch and one to the 4th lug of the top left stage in the 5 way superswitch. Is there a solution for this? Would it work if I soldered the neck pickup's single ground wire to the correct S1 switch lug, without a ground to the tone pot?

Thanks for the quick reply.

The wiring is a bit different as that's SSS whereas mine will be HSS, but Andy's comment that the 3rd conductor wire can be ignored is helpful, thanks.

I'm getting help with the soldering! Will post back with results.
