    Default Stratocaster model project

    Hi everyone well, I have an really old strat and I want to fix the wiring because it is awful, I mean, the middle tone is unplugged, and the single coils have rust so I want to build a new wiring. As I don't know much about guitar wiring, maybe some of have an step by step manual. If you can help me with one, it will be awsome.


    Sorry about my english!

    Thanks!

    Well yesterday I decided to go for it, I 've changed the 5 way pickup selector for a new one because de neck pickup wasn't working, now it works. I've changed the tones and volume the volume works fine they are all B500k just like in the old circuit. I've tried it in some computer speakers because I don't have my amp here. I think it works fine but I'm not quite sure that the tones work. Anyway I will have to check with the amp.
    If have any sugesstion it will be well taken.
    This is the diagram I decided to use.

    If you look on diagram....make sure you connect both sides of switch together with jumper wire (wire) and make sure it is done exactly like diagram is drawn. Also make sure you connect the wires correctly on the tone pots and that the lead wires are connected correctly on the correct side of the switch.
