Hey everyone, I have a question about installing a killswitch on my squire stratocaster..when i say killswitch I mean a la Tom Morello and not that button Buckethead's got. (not sure if there different or not)...anyway I was wondering how hard this would be to do, what I would need to do, and the materials I would need to do this.

Thanks in advance!!

All you'll need is either a toggle or push botton switch that's single pole/single throw. You'll have to cut the wires to the output jack and solder the hot and ground wires to the switch. That's it. Of course you'll have to decide if you want to drill a new hole for the switch or use the tone pot hole. It's really pretty simple. If you don't have soldering skills I'd suggest just bringing it to your local guitar tech and have him install it for a few bucks.

Convert your controls to a master volume and a master tone.

That leaves you with one hole to put your kill switch.

Bingo!
