I have been trying to mod my 2002 mexi fat strat so that I can use a tone pot with the humbucker as I find it harsh when I use my blues deville with it even with treble and presence at 0. I have been reading about the tone pot mod and looking at vids and wiring diagrams but the "original" wiring that is shown in these vids and diagrams is different to mine. Can anyone advise me what changes need to be made? I found a schematic as shown in the link below;

Any help would be appreciated.

If it is your wiring this seymour Duncan ;

1- Choose wich tone pot you want to use

2-Just remove the black wire from this tone pot from the pickups switch lug

3- Solder it where his the black wire of your humbucker on the pickups switch lug

It may have some other way too .

There was the "American Fat Strat Texas Special" 'round year 2000.
It's tone pots affect all pickups (T1 neck & mid, T2 bridge), so maybe this will help:
Fat Strat Tex Spec Wiring

(PS: If your humbucker is from SD, check the color codes on the wires. Oh well, check them anyway :wink: )
