Hello!

So a few days ago i ordered a Dimarzio hs-3 that i'm going to put in the neck position of my american special. I also ordered a Dimarzio tone zone for the bridge(going to stay with the texas special in middle). My problem is that i want a 250 k tone pot + volume pot for neck/middle and a separate 500 k volume pot for the bridge. Basically what i want to do is to replace a tone pot that goes to the bridge with a 500 k volume pot that goes to the brdige, and make the tone pot i have left work for the middle pickup(and neck, which it already does), and ofcourse make the 250 k volume pot NOT work for the bridge). I'm not too hot on circuitry, if someone could help me with a digram or something i would be very happy.

To put it in few words (noticed it looked a little messy)
NECK/MIDDLE= 250 k volume and tone
BRIDGE = 500 k volume
And ofcourse i want the 5 position switch working as intended

Thanks in advance!

Welcome.

Is this all born out of the fact that the Tone Zone 'requires' a 500K volume pot? If so, there is a way that you can still keep the OEM functionality of your Strat pots by replacing your current 250K volume pot with a 500K one and attaching one 470K resistor each to the other two pickups. Of note is the fact that retaining the 250K tone pot for your Tone Zone would be irrelevant for the most part and without additional switching, it cannot be isolated from the circuit any way.

Nonetheless, let us deal with requirements. I do have one question and one caution though.

The question: There are two common ways of wiring your two volume pots into the circuit. The first way is so that when the bridge and middle pickup are on together, either volume pot will turn down both pickups. The other way is where the volume pots work independently of each other, only turning down the pickup(s) it is assigned to. Which do you prefer?

My caution and this is regardless of your pot wiring scheme: The OEM Fender pickup MAY be out of phase with the two DiMarzios and/or you MAY lose your humbucking mode when teaming the middle pickup with either of the other two once the phasing is sorted out. Again, this is a MAYBE, I'm just making you aware that there is a distinct possibility of the above.

The proverbial, "Ball is in your court."
