Hoya!

I am in the process of doing a new wiring scheme on my Strat-style guitar.

The thing is, I would like to add:

-Phase switchs for 2 & 4
-Series/Parallel switchs for 2 & 4 too (I am not wrong, am I?)

Please note that my middle pickup is a Lace Sensor.

So the questions are:

-Does anyone has got some wiring schematics?
-Could someone provides me with a complete list of components, type of wires?

The thing is, I work in a secondary school whose Electronics Section can provide me with all this for free. :-)
They just need me to tell them what I need...

Moreover, what are the different values possible for capacitors for SSS?

Thanks for your answers.

Be funky

Capacitors: as you turn your tone control down a cap channels the high frequencies to earth, giving you your bassy sound. The higher the value cap, the more bass as you roll the control off. Capacitor values include 0.1 micro-farad (uf); 0.05 (or .47); 0.033; 0.02 (or 0.022); and 0.01 uf.

The choice is yours: I believe Fender are currently still using .022 caps on Strats as standard. That would be a good place to start.

Some people swear that Orange Drop caps by Sprague give a noticealby better tone, and for a few pennies who are we to argue?

www.seymourduncan.com (> support > wiring diagrams) will give you more schematics than you can shake a stick at. If that don't find you what you want - then you need someone cleverer than me. Hello...?
