I have a 2011 American Deluxe Stratocaster. I've decided to take on switching out the stock bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan JB. My goal is to get the same S1 switching as a newer American Deluxe HSS Strat. I think this is demonstrated in the following diagram: http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l360/drew986/FenderControlDescriptionSheet001.jpg

First off, I've searched through this forum and found that Fender made changes to their wiring of the American Deluxe Strats in 2010. This makes the PDFs that Fender provides on their support page useless to me. So I decided to look and I cannot find an updated wiring diagram for my guitar. A color coded one would be extremely helpful. Anyone have any ideas? I saw in this forum somewhere that someone said you could write to Fender and request a diagram for the new Strats so I did that and haven't heard back yet.

I did find what I believe could be a wiring diagram for the newer American Deluxe HSS Strats: http://imageshack.us/a/img593/484/wiringq.jpg. One thing I noticed is a push/pull switch that the SSS model doesn't have. I'm not sure whether I should try to put one of these in or if I can get away with trying to mimic the diagram without adding in the push/pull switch. I also notice that there is mention of a special cap on positions 2 and 4 when the S1 switch is pushed in. This might be another roadblock. Anyways, just looking for some direction. I've posted in another thread, but decided to create my own since I kinda want to start fresh here.

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Ok, so I did hear back from Fender and they sent me a PDF of the new color coded wiring diagram for the American Deluxe Strat (revised 4/12/2010). Not sure why they don't post this thing on their website to avoid dealing with support requests for wiring diagrams.

Anyways, now I'm going to try to figure out a way to convert this to the American Deluxe HSS Strat. I'll keep this thread updated in case I can help someone else along the way.

And if you don't feel like sending Fender an e-mail, I did find a copy of the wiring diagram here: http://ebookbrowse.com/fender-american-deluxe-stratocaster-sss-s-1-wiring-2010-rev-b-pdf-d169329854
