Thanks hodgo yeah 50s wiring undoes the tones effect as you turn down it's an alternative to a treble bleed sort of and I can just have a master 50s tone And an auxiliary tone controlled by the switch if need be

Okay, so it sounds like 50s wiring would mean that the tone controls would be assigned to different positions on the 5 way, but probably not 2 tones activated at the same time given they load the output lug of the volume, Could I have one modern wiring ( coil loading) tone and one 50s...

So I recently got myself a soldering iron kit and wanted to May experiment on one of my guitars before I put together a long procrastinated build, Is possible for a Stratocasters blade switch to switch in and out a 50's style tone control? So for example have it active on just the bridge...

Looks like you shunts beet me to it! Nice one 😄😄

David Collins YouTube has a good video on this topic

A lot of people recommend a Kinman treble bleed resistor in series with the capacitor, which preserves log taper a bit better, but of course you can also try a tone control wired to the output of your volume pot, which is referred to as 50s wiring. This in effect reverses the tone controls...

I am aware of that switch and it's capabilities, some people have mentioned durability on the net tho, plus even though it can do a lot it's not capable of doing everything, it just seems more plug and play to have it done with tried and true methods, Plus if you have a blender mod you are...

Hey, would it be possible to have a hsh wiring setup that has the roll in blender mod ( bridge pickup on the neck, neck pickup on the bridge all three for 2 and 4) As well as the dan Armstrong mod where the bridge becomes bridge and middle in series etc read about the dan Armstrong mod Would...

Around 9.8 pounds for a hard ash strat with allparts fat back neck evh brahhhhh

Thanks mayfly you may fly 👍👍

Has anyone ever put an ns1000 tweeter into an ns10 studio monitor? I mean it'd probably sound terrible but that's kinda the point 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Hi there, I was wondering if this was possible with the freeway 5b5-02 for a hsh setup First 5 positions are the bridge split bm m mn and neck split as normal with the 5b5-02 6-10 are bridge humbucker inner coils both humbuckers outer coils neck humbucker and I'm not too fussed on the order of...

.  D Sorry if I'm Hijacking mans thread here but does this mean you can't run a 5B5-02 with HSH as Bridge Humbucker inner slug coils Both Humbuckers outer screw coils Neck Humbucker On one side of the switch?

Freeway actually make two different 10 ways an SSS/Hss one and a HsH HHH intended switch with more options But you can do a lot with a 5 way multi pole with Push pullls or an s1 Edit: was meant to say HsH / HHH not HsH/HSH******

I'm wondering if anyone who has built their own necks/guitars has ever tried this or if it would work bahaha On say a dark fingerboard RM RW or Ebony instead of clay dots what you do is get a bit of Birdseye Maple, find the Birdseye 'Eye' figures in there of a suitable size and of a good colour...
