Depth help

[Fender.Fan]

So I’m doing a 7/8 strat project, and I’ve ordered the best electronics I could come up with, after installing all the pots onto the pickguard I’m worried it won’t fit into the body. I haven’t gotten the body yet so I can’t test it, doesn’t anyone know the depth of a strat? (Control route)

It's the same as an ordinary strat. There's plenty of room for your pots.

 

[Fender.Fan]

I was worried since they’re such tall pots, hope you’re right

 

[AirCap]

Did you order the right pots?

 

[fdesalvo]

You should have a ton of space in there for concentric pots, push-pulls, etc.  Just don't go trying to mount a corn cob in there!

It was a tbx tone knob and a push pull. They’re smaller then the switch, so it should be fine! I was gonna add a momentary kill switch but I just couldn’t make room for it

Your third pot could be a Shadow Kill Pot, ie a killswitch in a pot. I put one in my Mustang:

I didn’t think I’d have room for the killswitch, but when it came in it was considerably smaller than I was expecting, so I wired it in!

@logrinn it’s a 7/8 so only two knobs!

Ahh a 7/8.  I have been curious if I can get 3 rather than 2 pots into a rear routed 7/8 Strat

 

[Fender.Fan]

Might be really crammed and congested but it seems like there’s just enough space

 

[Logrinn]

Ah, I see. Well it looks like it all worked out in the end.
Looking good.  :icon_thumright:
