7 Sound Switch Added Between the two Tones pots

USA-Haywire Custom Shop 7 Sound Stratocaster Translation:

NORMAL Position 1 of the 5-way selector switch activates the bridge pickup alone by engaging the toggle switch at this point it will activate the neck pickup giving you the bridge and neck pickups together.

Likewise, with the 5-way selector switch in the second position with the bridge and middle pickups activated, a flick of the toggle switch adds the neck pickup to the equation which gives you ALL of the pickups together. Two choices now missing on a stock Strat.

Here's the switch run-down: Here's what you'll get after we added the 7 Sound Toggle Switch between the Tone Controls:

Position 1-Will give you tones and sounds reminiscent of the “Byrds” Rickenbacker tone.

Position 2-Will make all three pickups available at one time.
                                                               
5-way switch pickup selections Your 2 new selections:
position 1 Bridge pickup alone bridge + neck in parallel  
position 2 bridge + middle pickup in parallel all three pickups in parallel
position 3 middle pickup alone
position 4 middle + neck pickup in parallel
position 5 neck pickup alone

Variable Treble Bleed Circuit included:
This mod keeps the tone you have on "10" throughout the entire range of the volume control.
We add a resistor capacitor network to the input and output of the volume control to
keep the highs from leaving your tone as the volume is decreased.
By adding this circuit, we can help you avoid the "muddy-tone" syndrome.
Now your tone is much more controllable and articulate! When the Treble Bleed Circuit is included:
Turning the volume control applies varying amounts of a specially tuned high frequency filter to the selected pickups. Now each pickup has the ability to produce a stronger, fuller tone and 50% less noise.

The variable treble bleed circuit is installed. This variable treble bleed/bypass circuit corrects the problem of high frequency losses, provides auto-adjustment of tone at reduced volumes and improves audio taper between 3 and 10.

Clear highs for 10 all the way down to 1.

We hear you.

THIS GUITAR HAS A WORKING BRIDGE TONE CONTROL!

In MOST Fender Stratocaster guitars, the tone control doesn't work for the bridge-only pickup on a Stratocaster.

It works on a few, approximately 1% of Stratocaster guitars whether made by Fender or by Squier, or Affinity, Fender Japan, Fender Taiwan, Fender Mexico, American (circa 1991) or Fender China and more have no tone control on the bridge pickup. The tone controls do work for the other four switch positions.

Guitarists for years have asked. Can we simply have a tone control on our bridge pickup? YES.

Haywire Custom Guitars

This guitar body has a very warm and crisp sound. It is built light and resonant for sustaining notes. The treble bleed circuit keeps it clear with a good strong signal all the way down. You can add extra bass with the tone controls. The middle pickup is a RWRP which is wired like a humbucker in positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch. Overall, a great choice for many styles and genres. Because of its very light weight, it is extremely and comfortable to play all night long.

Treble Bleed Circuit
Q-With the Treble Bleed modification installed:
How does it work?

A-It allows you to roll off your volume without losing the highs.
Would you like being able to use the volume control... without sacrificing tone?
Now You Can... with a Treble Bleed Circuit Mod added on this guitar!

As you turn your guitar's volume down, the pot allows some of the current to go to ground as opposed to the output. The frequencies that leave first are the highs, which leave the tone muddy and obscured without an "edge" on it to a discerning ear.

Your Stratocaster is now- Very Functional

  • The body rout already cut, will accommodate all of these configs. All that is necessary is to decide which pickup configuration, then add the pickups to a guard to accommodate the pickup selection YOU need. Then drop back into your guitar with 3 perfectly fitting pickup slots.
