Title: The Ultimate Wiring
Post by: Eddie Van Halen on July 24, 2005, 09:08:23 PM
hey, I've been planning the wiring for my custom made strat scratchplate for a while now, and stage 1 is to get the 2 BKPs working with a tone control for the neck, and a 3 way switch. the awesome guys at the SD forum helped me get the wiring diagram sorted, but since Im planning on buying the pair of BareKnuckles in the next week I wanted to order the parts from the online shop too with the pickups.

Basically I need 2x 500k pots and a standard 3 way switch that fits in a STRAT scratchplate. I was advised to go the modern telecaster route but with a slight alteration in the wiring, as shown below. So which parts (exact names/numbers) are the ones in the BKP shop that I need?

stage 2 will be to add an on/off mini toggle killswitch (which would also be handy to order from the BKP shop if they have the right part), and stage 3 will be to add a mid/gain boost kit from axesrus

Nice one Tim! The order will be for 2 calibrated VHII's, so shall I just put them on the shopping cart, go through with the details and you'll add the cost for the parts?

By the way, the string spacing is for a vintage strat trem, and the bridge bucker will be angled for more treble.

I'm putting the money in the bank tommorrow (I've been too busy painting a neck today, and my bank shut at 3  :? ), so I should be placing the order (all going to plan) tommorrow night.
