Im sure the layout diagram is wrong, or rather incomplete. The bucker/mid pickup selection must surely operate on either tone control. I think its a ommision error that it's labeled as only working on one pot.

Howdy Nikininja,

Take a closer look at the Super Switch and you'll see that the lower tone pot is only active in position 1. A jumper is used for the bridge hot wire to get Mid and bridge without engaging the lower tone pot in position 2.

I rekon it's a do-able mod. I should know for sure this evening though its probably best to get one of you guys to check it over. i've been wrong in the past so.....

Here you go....

I'd recommend you get someone who knows what their doing to check my work before you wire it up, but I rekon thats it.

Let us know how you get on.

Enjoy!

WOW! Thanks, Andy. I will check it out very carefully.

I installed the SCNs last night in my MIM Strat (using the standard 5-way switch and American Standard wiring) and am very happy with the sound. I need to get a better soldering iron before I tackle the superswitch as the iron I have now is junk. I need to redo a couple of connections as it is.

No worries!
