Installing The Stratocaster Series Push/Pull Pot
Step 1) First, I take off the pickguard. To do this I had to disconnect (or de-solder) the ground connection from the bridge and the hot and ground wires from the jack.
Step 2) Next, I de-solder the wires which are connected to the switch and remove it.
Step 3) Then, I screw in the E-MegaSwitch.
Step 4) I begin to solder the connections:
lug 1 - solder on the middle pickups hot wire
lug 2 - solder on the neck pickups hot wire and solder on the wire from the lower tone pot
lug 3 - solder on the wire (output) from the volume pot
lug 4 - leave empty
lug 5 - leave empty
lug 6 - solder a wire to lug 7 and solder the wire from the lower tone pot
lug 7 - solder on the bridge pickups hot wire
Lastly, I re-connect (re-solder) the wires that I had un-soldered in the step 1.
Trouble Shooting...
No sound from the amp when the guitar is plugged in?
Try checking the guitars wiring to make sure that no positive leads are touching the ground wires (or foil if your guitar is shielded).
This will send the guitars signal to ground causing no signal to pass to the amp.
