Greetings everyone!
I own an American Deluxe Strat which underwent a lot of tinkering. I swapped all of the fancy electronics to regular ones, changed pickups and such. Years later I got my hands on a Custom Shop Strat and I was considering wiring the Deluxe back to something that resembles its original state.
Problem is that I don't own the N3 pickups that were in it anymore, and they had 3 leads. I'd also like to keep a humbucker in the bridge position. I can solder, but I can't seem to be able to find anything that properly explains how the S1 Switch works, nor the 5-way super switch.
I'd like to wire it up with standard 2 leads pickups and a 5 lead humbucker in the bridge position.
I have looked pretty much as far as Google could help me for a diagram but I don't seem to be able to find it.
I'd like my configuration being:
Position 1 S1 up: Bridge humbucker
Position 2 S1 up: Bridge humbucker (split) + Middle single coil, parallel
Position 3 S1 up: Middle single coil
Position 4 S1 up: Neck and Middle single coils, parallel
Position 5 S1 up: Neck single coil
Position 1 S1 down: Bridge humbucker and neck single coil, parallel
Position 2 S1 down: Bridge humbucker and Middle single coil, series
Position 3 S1 down: All three pickups, series
Position 4 S1 down: Neck and Middle single coils, series
Position 5 S1 down: Neck single coil and humbucker (split), parallel
I don't even know if this is doable or not.
I'd like to hear your feedback.
Thanks in advance!
