View post (CHECK IT! Strat Clone Custom Rewiring-HELP!)
View thread
Ok so basically I want to know if this is possible. I've got a strat clone, and I'm going to rewire it with DiMarzio pickups. Specifically a Chopper in the neck, a Fast Track 1 in the middle and an X2N in the bridge. I want it so that a 5-way switch selects 1) neck 2) neck-mid 3) neck-bridge 4) mid-bridge 5) bridge with a 3-way selector controlling north/south/series for the humbucker and another 2-way switch controlling whether the humbucker is active, only at position 2 in the 5-way, along with neck and middle in whatever 3-way position it's in (north/south/series). I imagine of the 3 pots, one would be master volume, one a fender TBX (bass/treb) pot, and some sort of preamp or onboard effect for the third, haven't decided that yet. Also, what's the difference exactly between 250k, 500k and 1 meg pots? Is there a warmer tone, or what? I assumed they would be more sensitive the higher you got. As in lower quality pots, when you turn them down a few notches, you don't hear much difference in volume or tone, whatever it's controlling. So, would my wiring be possible, and somebody explain the pots to me? Thanks!
