I just finished up a wiring job for a friend of mine. Turned out very interesting and sounds awesome!

Guitar is a H-S-S Strat Style.

One Volume Control, Coil Split Switch for the Humbucker, Phase Switch for the Humbucker. NO TONE CONTROL

I ended up using a CTS 500k No Load Pot that I had made up a couple of years ago. Which is very cool. It is a volume control and when you turn it to what would be the "No Load" part of the control it turns off the signal. So it acts as an on/off switch for the guitar.

Hi Chet,

Sounds cool! I like the use of the No-load pot as a on/off switch. Very handy. 8)

Any chance of a pic or a diagram for us mod geeks?

Cheers

Andy
