Fender Stratcocaster Greasebucket/Highway one Wiring Harness-Pure Tone-All Sprague Circuit-Grounding

Greasebucket Tone Circuit

Here is what Fender says about the Greasebucket: “The Greasebucket tone circuit adds a new dimension to your tone, the effect is that when rolled down, the tone pot reduces the high frequencies, but does not add bass.”

The Greasebucket tone circuit was introduced in 2005 on several guitars in the Highway One series, as well as in various Custom Shop Stratocaster models. Your tone will get cleaner with this modification, not greasy and dirty.
The Greasebucket tone control is a cool way to roll off the highs and lows in your guitar while preventing your tone from getting muddy. This is especially helpful for creating sparkling clean tones, but it’s also useful for overdriven sounds.

There is a combination of various values of resistors and capacitor values that are part of this build. This type of band-pass filter only allows certain frequencies to pass through, while others are blocked. The standard tone circuit in the Strat is called a variable low-pass filter (aka a “treble-cut filter”), which allows only the low frequencies to pass through while the high frequencies get sent to ground via the tone cap.
