Strat HSH Guitar Wiring Kit (Metric Size)
HSH Strat Wiring Kit Upgrade (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: Humbucker (H)
HSH 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 HSH 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 4 options so you can choose which wiring style is best for you.
#1 Standard with Auto-Split (NO Bridge Tone Control)- For 4-wire HB only- T1 for Neck, T2 for Mid. Can also be wired so that T1 for Neck, T2 for Bridge and NO Mid Tone Control
#2 Matched Load for 2-wire humbucker (No Auto Split in positions 2 and 4)- Can also be used for 4-wire HB- No Mid Tone Control- Uses a Superswitch
#3 Matched Load with Auto Split (Position 3 is Neck + Bridge)- For 4-wire HB only- No Mid Tone Control- Uses a Superswitch
#4 Matched Load with Auto Split (Position 3 is Neck + Mid + Bridge)- For 4-wire HB only- No Mid Tone Control- Uses a Superswitch
