However, one advantage is that it will bring the bridge pickup into the circuit no matter what position One disadvantage is that, unlike the other 2 circuits, this "Solo Switch" can only Plug it in and enjoy your latest guitar modification.ĭue to the complexity of the wiring of dual volume and tone control guitars, it is not possible toīypass 2 volume controls, 2 tone controls and 2 capacitors with just one DPDT switch so some compromise Recheck and test your work until you are certain that everything's wired okay. (The wires and terminals have been given letters to make your job a little easier). Now, solder these four wires to the DPDT switch making certain that each wire goes to the corresponding Solder some wire extensions to these 4 points, making sure these wiresĪre long enough to reach wherever the solo switch will be mounted. Do the same with the wire from the middle This wire and carefully remove ¼" insulation from the 2 ends. There is a jumper wire on the five way switch that goes from the upper left lug to the lower right. This is where the rewiring has to be done.

If you have a 3 pickup guitar (usuallyģ single coils), that has one "five-way" switch, one master volume control and 2 tone controls, this is how to wire aĭiagram 1 is the way your guitar is currently wired.ĭiagram 2 is a detail of a small section of Diagram 1. Or one of the countless copies manufactured with the same design. This section deals with wiring a "Solo Switch" for a guitar with the circuitry of the Fender Stratocaster Solo Switch Circuit for Fender Stratocaster Type Guitars
Used in two very popular guitar circuits. So, we'll show other diagrams that can be
However, we know that all guitars are not made the same. That's all well and good if your guitar only has one volume and one tone control. Just proceed carefully and you should have no problems. This circuit is rather easy to wire and the 'before' and 'after' diagrams are helpful in figuring out howĮverything will get connected. (Actually, the sound is a little bit brighter than "10"īecause even at their maximum settings volume and tone controls still put a "load" on the output signal). Is "on", it's just as if you had everything set to "10". Just as easily return to the previous settings without the need to touch theĪctually, you can have all the volume and tone settings at zero, but when the solo switch

This comes in handyįor soloing because, you can go from a quiet, mellow sound to a screaming, biting, full volume, full tone attack and So what does this switch do? It totally bypasses the volume and tone controls. If you choose to use a toggle switch then it will. If you use a "push pull" potentiometer with an attached DPDT switch, then this won't change the appearance of your guitar. This guitar modification only requires a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch. Caution: If your guitar is under warranty, doing any kind of unauthorized work
