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?

heres the original thread for reference

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

The parts are simply described as 500K short shaft pots, same with the switch....................I know whay you're after so place the order and I'll see it through myself.

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.

actually, I'll put a 3 way 'tele' switch in the cart, and 2 500k pots as im ordering, and you can change that as necessary, thanks Tim :D
