The Pickup Place / Favorite humbucker in a strat?

« on: March 15, 2021, 11:13:26 PM »

I'm liking the Tone Zone S in this strat, but I'm not a big fan of the look. I'm considering putting in a full size nickel covered humbucker. I just think it'll look much better. I'm eyeing either a Dimarzio 36th Anniversary or a Duncan Pearly Gates.
Curious what your preferences are?

The Pickup Place / Re: HSS wiring help. Tone Zone S and 2 Areas

« on: March 08, 2021, 09:53:47 AM »

I emailed Dimarzio support, and they sent me these 2 diagrams. 1 with a switch for bridge series/parallel, and one for bridge always on. They confirmed that the Areas' hot would be green and the Tone Zone S' hot would be red.

The Pickup Place / HSS wiring help. Tone Zone S and 2 Areas

« on: March 07, 2021, 11:00:44 AM »

I'd like to wire up my strat to have either the Tone Zone S in parallel or split in the 2nd position. I'm not sure which would sound better yet. But, would these diagrams be correct? I've read to use all the red wires as hot when using all Dimarzios, but these seem to contradict that.

The single coil pickups are from a MIM Stratocaster.

Hi guys, I'm trying to wire up my HSS strat with a Tone Zone S in the bridge. My question is, which wires are for the split, and which are hot and ground? Right now, I have the red as hot going to the 5 way, black and white together going to the 5 way for the split, and bare and green going to ground. I'm not sure if this is correct for the polarity in the 2nd position. I'm seeing several diagrams. Some have the black as hit, some have red as hot, some have green as hot.

The Trading Post / Duncan humbuckers - $65 shipped

Custom
Distortion f-spaced
59 neck 2 conductor

Plenty of lead wire on each. I'd consider trades for 4 conductor pickups for neck or f-spaced bridge. Otherwise, I'm asking for $65 shipped for each.

Was any routing necessary?

Schaller LockMeister same specs as OFR.

Did your N24 have the angled route for the bridge, like mine has? Most of the replacement bridges that I'm seeing are more squared, which I think would require some routing.

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas!

I'm considering replacing the Washburn branded FR on my N24. Compared to my Wolfgang and other guitar that has a Floyd, thus one just feels cheap and seems to affect the tone in a bad way. Which model should I choose for a replacement?

Where did you put the green wire of the SD Jazz? It should go to ground. If it does not, then I would not be surprised about only a faint sound (if at all) coming out.

Good luck,
Stephan

The green went to ground, along with the bare. I ended up just using a standard CTS 500k pot and it's working fine.

Not sure if anyone would be able to lend some knowledge. I'm replacing the cheap push pull pot that came with my Washburn N24, along with replacing the neck pickup with an SD Jazz. I've also cleaned up all of the unnecessary extra wire that was crammed in there. I've wired everything up the same way it was. The exception being the Jazz wire colors are different than the original Washburn neck pickup. So, I have the red and white Jazz wires where the Washburn red and green wires were. And the black Jazz wire where the white Washburn wire was. I'm getting sound, but it's very faint. The switching and coil tapping is also working.
