A high quality electronic replacement / upgrade for Stratocaster style guitars with 1 humbucker and 2 single coil pickups.
The coil split mod is used if you have a humbucker pickup and want to split the coil (please make sure you have 4 wires coming from your humbucker and not 2) this can also work with a HSH set up but both humbuckers will be coil split at the same time via the Push Pull pot. There will be a solderless connector for the coil split wires, pickup wires and your output jack next to the switch.
Required body cavity depth for push/pull pot: At least 30mm
Comes standard with a Karman Vintage Style 5 way switch, Full Sized Brass Shaft Potentiometers. Complete with all electronics soldered with vintage spec cloth wire, neatly wired up and installed on a rigid aluminum grounding plate (helps eliminate electrical noise at the same time) all you need to do is disconnect your pickups and output jack from your old electronic assembly and fit this electronic assembly to your pickguard and reconnect the output jack and pickups to our solderless connector. It is easy to do, the connector is spring activated so you just press on the orange part with a screwdriver, insert the wire and release. All the ground wires go to the bottom terminals (except the bottom under the bridge pickup hot - this is for coil split) and each hot goes to top terminals. They will be colour coded so you know where to put the hot of each component:
Output jack hot gets connected to the white terminal
Neck pickup to the blue terminal
Middle pickup to the red terminal
Bridge pickup to the yellow terminal
Coil split wires to the terminal bellow yellow
Grounds are the other 3 bottom terminals, if you need to twist grounds together to share a terminal that is fine, it doesnt matter which ground goes to which bottom terminal, they are all connected together.
