Great diagram, as usual Andybighair.

I wish that Fender would straighten out their guitar charts! Position 1 of the pup selector switch is the bridge position on the vast majority of Fender charts. :?

No, just stick to Andy's diagram.

You're welcome.

What colors are the Lollar wires?

I think that there was even a song by Sammy Davis Jr about Andy, "The Andy Man".

Who can make a drawiiiiiing,.........the Andy man, the Andy Man can (chorus: the Andy man can, the Andy man can) :lol:

I hate to resurrect an old thread like this but I'm about to buy a new Deluxe HSS and I'd like to know exactly how the S1 works. I don't need a wiring diagram (there are already two here!) but something that shows the pickup configuration in each Selector position with the S1 down, including the 'special cap' usage. And if anyone could tell me more about that cap I'd be much obliged.

The only layouts of this sort I found on the support site were of the older, original style S1. These changed in, what 2011? 2012? Something like that.

Thanks in advance!
Ken

Okay, I just got my new Deluxe HSS and the diagram that came with it does not agree with the the one Andy said "If your Strat is like this" shows. There is no split coil option on my diagram. So either that diagram is an older one or what they're putting in the cases is outdated.

I am at work right now but when I get home I will test to see for sure whether or not there is a split coil setting. If there is (and they sent me an inaccurate diagram) then I will certainly confirm what Andy is saying here. I don't doubt him for an instant - if that diagram is right then his mod is perfectly sound, I'm sure. I just want to make sure before I start putting a soldering iron in my new axe.

Here's what the diagram that came with my Deluxe says for the S1 down options:

Position 1. Bridge + Middle in series
Position 2. Bridge + Middle in series with special cap on Bridge Only
Position 3. Neck in series, Middle + Bridge in parallel
Position 4. Neck + Middle in series with special cap on Neck Only
Position 5. Neck + Middle in series

No split coil option.

Hi Sepulchre,

Just to be clear, the diagrams already shown in this thread relate to the pre 2010 HSS S-1 Dlx wiring. Also, I've had confirmation that the split coil mod works from another user (see serge01's post on page 4 of this thread --> viewtopic.php?f=6&t=79704).

Regarding your Strat (which is very nice BTW!), Fender changed the HSS Dlx S-1 wiring in 2010. The HSS models are now wired the same as the pre 2010 SSS Dlx models as far as pickup combos are concerned. So no split coil option.

However....

I am very familiar with this type of S-1 wiring and believe it is possible to split the coil on the Atomic Humbucker. If this is something you are interested in doing, let me know and I'll see about drawing up another diagram. Just bear in mind that you may well have to re-wire several terminals on the 5 way super switch. Also, carrying out any modifications to your stock wiring will void any warranty you have left on your Strat.

Hope this helps.

Andy

So, I've been browsing forums looking for assistance on a monster wiring project I have in mind for a custom guitar I am making. I noticed Andybighair's eagerness for "interesting" projects, and so I was curious if I might find some assistance here. First off, let me give you some background. It's a rear route tele body, routed to have a tele pu (neck), a minibucker (middle) and a humbucker (bridge) and it has strat controls (5 pos switch + VTT) and a side mounted jack. The idea I have at the moment, may not need some steps, but, go big or go home, right? So first off, I want to coil tap both buckers. The mini would be pull pot T1 and full would be pull pot T2. I then (and this may be one of the unnecessary steps) would like to put a toggle next to each tone which would toggle which single coil is being used. Next stage in the idea is to have it all connected to an S1 wiring system on the Volume pot. I know it would be a maze of connections and wires, and I'm not well versed enough in electronics to begin to map it. I was hoping someone out there might be able to determine not only the feasibility of this, but have the fortitude to diagram it. My idea is to have a guitar with endless tonal capabilities, and any advice, ideas etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

- Stephen

The wire you need to add to the 5 Way Super Switch is marked in RED, just next to the smiley face. :D

As requested, the above should give you the following:

Position 5 - S-1 Off = Bridge Pickup - Upper coil only
Position 5 - S-1 On = Bridge pickup - Both coils, Series Humbucker

Everything else should work as it is currently.

Keep us posted on how you get on and Welcome to the Forum!

Enjoy!

Andy



Andy where can I find the diagram with the smiley face - picture of elite strat to convert HSS TO SSS

THANKS
