Sratocaster Series Push/Pull Wiring
Step 1) I connect all the wires which do not require the switch to be in the guitar yet. I do this simply because I find it easier to work with the push/pull pot outside of the guitar.
Step 2) Next, I install the push/pull pot. I have removed the one tone pot just to clear some space.
Step 3) I begin soldering all the other wires into position just like in the above diagram. I start with the pickups ground wires and finish with the positive leads. Lastly, I plug in the positive wire which goes to the jack. Once the pickgaurd and strings are back on your ready to go.
Trouble Shooting The Sratocaster Series Push/Pull Wiring...
No sound from the amp when the stratocaster 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.
