I wish I found this yesterday after my 4 hour struggle. I gave up, but Now I am ready to get back at it and do it right. Thank you for the helpful vid!
I rarely comment but had to say what a wonderfully clear, concise and elegantly simple explanation this is! No fluff, no ego, well-chosen and colour-coded graphics, that explain the subject matter. I have worked for 25 years as a teacher and Headteacher: I know great teaching when I see it. What a gift these videos are to those trying to understand this subject matter, thank you!
Look, I know it's 7 years later, but this video is just what I needed today. Thanks for taking the time to explain the mapping. The wiring diagram I got with my StewMac switch seemed to be reversed from what I was looking at on the physical switch, and my middle position wasn't engaging either pickup. With this information, I should be able to sort out what's going on without simply relying on their diagram.
You sir are an absolute genius. I just spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out this import 8 in a row lug 3-way. Looked at your video and bam..... problem solved. THANK YOU!!!!!
This video finally cleared up my understanding of the two sides of the switch, thanks! The color coding and the emphasis on "independent" without the output jumper finally did it for me.
thanks much! just picked up a G&L ASAT Classic switch was bad......works like a charm now....now show me how to wire my brains and hands so i am the greatest tele picker on earth!!!!!
since i never use the middle position on my guitar, i wire the 3 way switch as blower switch also. position 1, neck, 2: bridge 3. bridge straight to the jack. theres a on off on switch to split either neck or bridge. the result is, i can use single channel amp and go from metal to pristine clean and jangly cleans in a sweep of a 3 way switch. super handly to me, saves me more money and pedals.
Thanks man! So, in the 3 pickups wiring the switch determines the signal input from the pickups, and in the 2 pickups wiring the switch determines the output to volume knob right?
Just discovered your channel. Love your straight forward teaching style. Complex concepts demystified by simple, orderly illustration and explanations. I'm a complete novice but you make me totally get it! Thank you.One request: Would you make lesson on wiring strat to standard specs (no mod, just the way Fender does it)? I don't want to mod, just become proficient with standard set up. Thanks for your help.
1:30 Jello Don, first of all you have the best by far editorials of wiring guitars! Great stuff! Wondering if you have a video for best tone for wiring a Tele with a dual potentiometer 250/500 to HS and three way switch?
2 pickup wiring with 3 way switch: Solution: I initially read the diagram wrong so I had to look at the switch properly to determine where A1 was etc.. B1 follows likewise then it was just a matter of soldering them as per the diagram. Now Position 1, 2 and 3 work
Hello, very interesting. I have a question for an expert: I have a 67-68 tele custom. Originally it had that silly switch 3 position bass-neck-bridge. I had it changed because the bass one was just useless. I understand that was an original set up, but nobody talks about that. Did everybody change the set up as I did and just forgot about it. What's the story behind that?
That's excellent! Brilliant! I tested all this with a continuity tester using an Ernie Ball 3 way switch, exactly as you explained it. Thank you! I'm going to wire up a new setup :)
Awesome. I’m curious how to wire a telecaster 3 way switch with two pickups, where the position are as stated. 1. Bridge 2. Bridge and neck parallel 3. Bridge and neck series I understand I need a ground wire coming off my neck pickup cover. But how would everything be wired?
BREJA TONE WORKS, Vintage strats used a 3 way lever switch, but when putting the lever in between positions on a strat which tone pots are selected? I think the bridge pickup gets the tone pot#2 in the in between position right?
Nice! I have a three way switch for my two pick up Tele. but it doesn’t have a spring. Is there a way to make sure that I mount it to my switch plate correctly? Could I install ass backwards?
What is the orientation of that switch. When I look at my switch from the bottom like when I have back cover off and looking at switch while connected. The contact pieces are opposite.
Excellent very helpful! Is the lever switch different from passive to active pickups? Because I need to change my passive set to an active set and if there's no difference, there's also no need to replace my lever switch. Thank you
Question, Im trying to change up my strat so that I can drop the middle pickup (I never use it), how do I wire up the middle position to split the bridge and neck? This is the only thing I need to figure out to finish my current project. Thank you in advance.
These vids are awesome and helped more than anything else online. Thanks Don. How about 1 on wiring an a Gibson EDS-1275 Double neck using the Switchcraft Right Angle 4 pole 3-way toggle switch. Not the added 3-way switch Epiphone G1275 uses.Also how about 1 on wiring a double neck Stratocaster with 1 volume 2 tone and 1 3-way using single coil pickups .......................... Thanks
Thank you! I have a question about the diagram you introduce at 4:17. Recently, I changed the pots and switch on my MIM telecaster using this layout. For some reason, Position 1 and 3 work great, but position 2 is silent (both PUPS). I've double-checked my wiring and solder job and they seem in order. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot? Thanks!
Nevermind, figured it out :) I checked for continuity between the common lugs and all the other lugs. For some reason, my switch requires a connection from B1 to B2 and another from A3 to A4 to work in position 2. Not sure why that is. I haven't seen that layout any where on the internet. Thanks again!
So i installed a new three way lever switch, i did it the way of the last example in the video, neck and bridge position work, but not both, any idea what i need to check ?
I have a wire harness one Volume One Tone and trying to hook it to two humbucker pickups made by belcat there's only one wire coming off the pickups I've been looking for videos everywhere to show me how to do this have not found anything stuck and could really use some help thank you
You would wire one tone pot to one volume pot, wire the lead from the bridge pickup to that volume pot and then the output (middle lug) wires to A4. Repeat the other volume and tone pot and wire that output to B1.
I am looking to wire a double humbucker guitar with each pickup haing its own master volumes no tone control and no selector switch do you have any advise or a video relating to that?
I have a Telecaster with the Bridge and the neck pickups only so I assume I use the last mentioned connection. Right? Ohh!, sorry, I noticed you mentioned the Telecaster. Thank you.
Let just say that in the case of a strat original wiring, I only want to have a master volume, nothing else, no other pot, ergo no tone pot/s at all. What do I do with B2, B3 & B4?
I want to remove my tone knob, but where do I solder my neck pickup? to the selector switch? an which ones if possible? doing this to a Jackson soloist
Doug, I have a question about wiring a guitar. I built a pick guard with a Seymour Duncan pearly gates (bridge hum bucker) and a little 59 single coil sized hum bucker in the neck. What I am trying to do is have 2 volumes and one master tone. I also want the center position to play both. Here is a list of my components. 2- Seymour Duncan hum buckers, 3 500k Mojotone vintage taper pots, 3- way CRL blade switch. My biggest complaint is wiring two volumes...I cannot seem to get the separation of the volumes. I want the top pot to run the bridge, the middle ;to to run the neck and the third pot to run the tone for both and the center position. My CRL 3-way switch does not look like any pot ive seem with respect to the lug layout. Their are 4 on the left and 4 on the right but the right side has the highest lug.....not like the tutorial you have shown. Also worth noting is the bottom lug on the left is common and the upper lug on the right in common. I would be willing to pay you for a drawing of how to hook this up. I also notice this guitar has very noisy ground loop noise. Any help with the noise problem would be appreciated as well. I need to know exactly where every single wire goes to include the input jack. Any help is greatly appreciated....thanks in advance.
I have a question. I'm thinking about wiring my Fender Strat with two humbuckers, two volumes, master tone with a 3 way blade, but I can't find any diagrams for it. Would you know how to wire that up?
One thing I would like to know is how I distinguish in CTS, which are the volume and tone pots; Is there a letter or number on the back of the pot that tells me how to know this?
Thanks for putting this together. Position 1 and 3 work for me correctly but Position 2 only has the neck. Any idea what I could have done wrong? Mine is an import switch with only one row of lugs - used the same logic for A1-B4 that you referenced in your 5-way switch video. Thanks again.
hey thanks for the detailed video! my first time wiring a guitar from scratch. the info really gave me the confidence to do it myself. and my own doubts about my self be damned. it all works! hah thank you again.
I had a question, is it possible to wire a guitar directly to the input jack by passing the tone pots yet still being able to use your pick up selector? My son doesn't use his tone knobs and he controls his volume with his volume pedal.
Yes, just wire the PU to the Jack, Hot to hot, usw.Its very easy i did it often.. But its better to have a pod between, because it might have hugh noise problems in the Background . At least Di Marzio gave me that tip.
I appreciate all the videos you make!! Thanks. Was wondering if you had any tips or diagrams for using 2 dual concentric pots in a 3 way switched Tele? It has a humbucker in the neck and single coil in the bridge. Doing this mod to have individual tone and volume for each pickup. The pots are 250/500. Hoping you can help. Sincerely...
Are you still active on here? I've been looking for information for quite a while now on how the second 3 way switch works on a vintage hagstrom swede. I took it in to have it looked at and the store owner said he never seen anything like it, so either it was repaired at some point wrong but I grew up thinking it was a tone switch, to give either pup a high, mid, or low tone. So if you could tell me the intention of the second 3way and what it's Supposed to do I would appreciate it. Ty
@@cristhiantrinidad7526 I found this article alloutput.com/guitar/5-way-switches-explained/ It compares the connection on two types i haven't tried yet but I've made a diagram. Look out for the pcb side.
Use a multimeter, put the knob in the neck pickup position and touch the multimeter to each piece. When you find one that registers, you know that is where the neck pickup gets wired to. Repeat for bridge pickup. The ground will go in the center and the wire to the volume pot, on the back side. Hope that helps.
SO this is a great video except for one thing. My 3-way switch lugs are the opposite of the videos. It looks like the ground for the switch looking at it exactly like the video are on the bottom left and top right....so for a 2 pickup guitar HS which lugs go to what?
I have an ibanez in hsh with a 5w switch and i would like to have a hh 3w switch configuration with position 1 for the whole bridge pickup, position 2 both pickups (or maybe only one coil of each pickup) and position 3 the whole Neck pickup. I have one standard volume and one standard tone. Is it possible with a standard 3 way position (like the telecaster) ?
hi Breja ToneWorks , I want to rewire my electric guitar with bigger size wire , will it change something and if so what would I have to do then ? thanks you sir for all your great videos !
No - changing the gauge of wire doesn't require any special work. Some wire is better than other though. Solid Strand is ok but brittle. Multi-Strand wire is stronger but doesn't always stay put. You don't need to go really thick in the gauge.
I pray these videos never get taken down....these are a goldmine of information!!!!!
Why would they be taken down bro

If it's just a tone for the bridge, just attach the pot to the same lug (on the switch) as the lead wire of the bridge pickup.
Great Video. How do use it, if i want some Kind of Tele-Switching (Pos1 Bridge, Pos2 Bridge+Neck, POS 3 Neck) but two ToneControlls?

Can I wire this switch in a strat so it goes bridge/middle+neck/Neck? Is that possible?
what if i have two volumes? one for the bridge and one for the neck?
Wire the pickup to the volume pot first, then the output wires to the switch. The pots go before the switch, just like a Les Paul wiring.
