OK, I've modified the shape & redrawn. I've replaced the file, so the previous posts will reflect the new drawing, too.

I've got to run or I'd double it check it one more time. It should be right.

Let's confirm that blend pot before you solder it.

The numbers were correct. I just had the switch drawn backwards. After looking at it again, Jason drew it up correctly. I just mixed up which side was supposed to be the PCB.

I can't see all of the connections, but your wiring on the 5-way and the blend pot looks right.

What doesn't seem to be there in your pics are all of the connections to the volume pot & the output connections.

I have a made in Indonesia Tele/SG copy hybrid with four pickups (a humbucker, a P90, a single coil and a coil-tapped humbucker) as well as a piezo bridge pickup that I want wired up so each pickup goes to a different amplifier (five amps) and I can have all the pickups turned on at once but I need to do this with a single three-way switch...is that possible?

PS I also need to wire a tone and volume knob to each pickup, but the body is only the size of a Steinberger.

(Just kidding...actually, this thread has been fascinating...it reminds me of the Adventures With Telecaster I went through a few years ago until I got what I wanted out of my wiring...very cool switching, btw.)

Definitely a contender for the Rube Goldberg competition. :lol:

Just think of all the time that will be saved by using the "Liberator" and "Megaswitch" and overkill "blender" pot. After 22 future pickup changes, you will almost recoup the time/money/effort initially spent trying to get it to work. Reinventing the wheel is so much fun, isn't it? :roll:

K.I.S.S. 8)

Some people like to experiment. It's just a different kind of artistic endeavor. It's really not all that crazy, IMO.

My suggestion would be to use a Super Switch or Megaswitch M so that the blend pot is only in the circuit in the middle position, but I'd like to see him just get it working first. :)

( I soldered the green and grey 4 middle liberator wires together...not taped off)


Those 4 wires should all be connected together & insulated. They are grounded.

The Red & White from what would be the Bridge pup should be connected together & insulated.

I wont take the strings off (protect the neck) until you say Im ready............. and thank you for clarifying about the red and white that I did not put together....I will do so.

I was asking about the way the blender and push pull were sitting, which was top and which was bottom..........I was use to diagrams looking at it from the front,,,,,,,but you made such a great looking diagram......its because im just not use to looking at all the different diagrams as this is the first time I have ever modified a strat or any guitar.

I so much appreciate you taking time to do this for me, you are very kind !!!!!!

I put shrink tube on the braided Model 59 pup, but have not heated it up yet. The Braid was getting short, so I soldered a green ground wire to it....will remove the scotch tape and use
electrical tape next time I open it up again.

Can you post a pic of the connections to the push-pull tone pot?

Can you post a pic of the PCB side of the 5-way?

I will post some questions on your pics.

Yes, the pup wires did go there.

I installed the guitar jack in the proper spot on the liberator after I finished the solder job.

Yes to red wire from middle pup, but you said to put other pup wire on number one, so that was to the left, not to the right, so that has to be changed. as well as me soldering the red and white wires I only taped separately, coming from bottom of liberator.

most of all the wires on the mega switch will be wrong, as I went by the numbers and not the position of the wires.......I will have to change them all.

Im heading to bed, so thanks for help and I will check back as soon as im home from work.

So, based on the revised drawing, are pins 6 & 7 connected together now? Does the Middle Black wire go to Pin 1 now?
