The Pickup Place / Re: Wiring schematics and stuff

Hi Everyone,
     Here's a wiring setup I'm currently using, and enjoying a lot. It's for a singlecoil/singlecoil/humbucker configuration. Uses a 5way switch and 2 push/pull pots.
     It came about because I like the slug coil of my humbucker in single coil mode, when using the pickup on its own, but in combination with the middle pickup, the screw coil is better for Strat "quack". This setup allows you to choose either, as well as the bridge PUP in series, or in parallel. Took me a long time to work out, but it was worth it!
     The switch on the volume control started out as a master OFF/ON for the bridge pickup, while originally, the tone control switch was a coil split. If you basically think of them like that, it makes it a little easier to work out what's going on, but I've written down all the setting options.
               Hope you give it a try! Cheers, Bill (Tonejam).

Hi folks,
            I have a 3 pickup Tele.
                         Air Norton S(neck)  Chopper, Fast Track 2. Currently Using 3 way switch giving standard Tele options (mid pickup not affected) .
                             Push pull tone pot turns mid  PUP on/off.
                            Push pull Volume pot splits bridge Pup.

                    Since Volume pot is starting to fail, I'm thinking its time to renew pots, switches etc.

                   I'm open to suggestions. Can you give me some cool ways to wire this up?  I need to keep the neck + bridge option.

                      Thanks in advance!  Bill.

The Pickup Place / Fast Track 2 Rocks!

Hi folks, Just got my Fast Track 2 into bridge position on my 3 pickup Tele (replacing Tonezone S) Tonezone was nice, had some nice lows, sweet highs, etc.
Fast Track is NOT nice! Its very business-like and defined. I love it! Thanks to all who gave me advice about it!
