Is this inspiring any other builds? (Michael Nielsen - Dan Huff James Tyler)

i posted this in another forum, but stumbled across this thread. In case it's helpful, I built a DH inspired strat this year and this was the wiring I used, pieced together from Tyler, Demeter, and Duncan's diagrams.

I used these DPDT switches, super short bats since I put them next to the 5 way toggle.

on-on for the neck and middle
on-on-on for bridge, for series-split-parallel

The reason the Bridge's toggle wiring looks different is because I used a type 2 DPDT on-on-on switch. If you want just series/parallel like the OG guitar, just use another on/on and copy the wiring from the neck/middle switches, or if you find a type 1 on-on-on you can use the same wiring as well.

I used this 50k push-pull for the Tyler preamp to be able to disengage it
Nobel EQ Pot - 50k push-pull

Demeter preamp - Tyler version

I also used a stereo jack to be able to switch the battery off. The preamp is tricky to fit in a stock strat cavity, leaving no room for the 9v battery. I fit the battery and clip into the spring cavity in between the two springs I used for a vega trem.

Fantastic, thank you!

I was planning on trying the push/push switches that the Tyler uses, but I think the toggles are easier to get and fit to the Pickguard.

Did you end up fitting the preamp in the standard Strat cavity? Fortunately my body is routed for a battery box, unfortunately it’s behind the Pickguard (instead of by the bridge) so routing the cavity bigger might be tough.
 
yeah I was able to sit the preamp underneath the volume control. It took some fiddling, but it fit in a normal sized cavity.

Thanks for posting.

On the diagram, there is one wire that does not seem to me to be doing anything. What is the blue line on the blade selector switch intended to do?
