Strat HSS Guitar Wiring Kit (Metric Size)
Strat Wiring kit HSS (Metric Size)
This set is perfect for a Strat-style guitar with an H-S-S pickup configuration.
Bridge: Humbucker (H)Middle: Single Coil (S)Neck: Single Coil (S)HSS wiring seems tricky because most people are confused with what component values are best for Humbucker and Single coil combinations. The truth is, the recommended values of potentiometer and capacitors for HSS setups really depend on the wiring style.
There are too many config possibilities. Each has its own pros and cons. It is always best to consult with your trusted guitar tech.
We carefully designed 5 options so you can choose which wiring style is best for you.#1 Standard (Balanced Load but NO Bridge Tone Control)- Can be used for 2-wire or 4-wire HB.- For 4-wire, auto-split is possible.#2 Matched Load for 2-wire humbucker (No Auto Split in position 2)#3 Matched Load with Auto Split (Using a Superswitch)- Auto-split coil for 4-wire humbuckers while maintaining a balanced load. There is a Bridge Tone Control.#4 Matched Load with Auto Split plus Neck-ON switch (7-way combo)#5 Matched Load with Neck-ON switch and Push-Pull Coil Split (10-way combo)Note that the split functions are only possible for 4-wire or 5-wire humbuckers.
For 2-wire HB, only option 1 and 2 is possible not unless you convert them to 4-wire. ******************Upgrade Kit includes the following:
