Sratocaster Series Push/Pull Wiring
The goal of this project is to get a fatter, more mellow sound out of a standard Fender Stratocaster. This guitar mod allows you to have the standard Stratocaster postions as well as the neck and middle pickups wired together in series (when volume push/pull is up). The result of this guitar mod is very practical and will yield a new, thicker sounding stratocaster.
Audio Clips
The Neck/Bridge Pickup in Series Link To Mp3
This is a clip of the neck and bridge pickup in series which is accessed by pulling the volume push/pull pot up.
The Neck/Bridge Pickup in Parallel Link To Mp3
This is a clip of the neck and bridge pickup in parallel which is accessed by pushing the volume push/pull pot down.
Forewarnings and General Info...
This guitar mod leaves the guitars wiring just the same when the volume push/pull pot is down but when it is up the wiring is: 1st and 2nd switch position - neck/mid. in series, 3rd switch position - bypass, 4th and 5th switch position - normal wiring. If you do not want the 3rd position to be a bypass then check out the Stratocaster E-Megaswitch Wiring.
