Fender S-1 switch wiring?

[Mark]

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with these circuits and the S-1 switch in particular?

The second thread has the Nashville circuit which looks like it has some good options.

Whatever you do don't F the switch up as a few years ago I had to get one and I work for a big music store here in the states and it took over 2 weeks for me to get one out of Fender!

Thanks for your reply Steve. What were the additional tones like?

Which pickup combinations did you prefer?

How did you F up the switch?

Was it normal wear and tear or are they a delicate item?

I put one on my Suhr Classic S with a HSS configuration.

Switch up was the stock configuration. Switch down is

1 - bridge humbucker coil split
2 - split bridge + middle
3 - all 3 pickups in parallel
4 - bridge/neck parallel
5 - bridge/neck series

I didn't take the time to really work out the tone controls and as a result, they don't quite work the way I think they should but I have no problem getting the sounds I like so I haven't bothered to change anything. Perhaps some time this winter, I'll pull it apart again and restore the full function of the tone knobs.

I'm building a strat style guitar as I have time this winter and this time I'll probably just wire in a blend pot and some push-pull pots for the coil split and parallel/series wiring.

S1's are a regular in-stock item at AES/CE Dist so I wouldn't worry about longevity. Folks over at the Seymour Duncan forums report having used them for many years without issue. In fact, that would be a good place to search for wiring options too.

I have a guitar with one (Fender Deluxe Roadhouse) but it just turns the mid-boost circuit on/off. I really like it. WAY better than a push-pull pot and a little more "elegant" design than your typical push-push because you have a visual indication of the position of the switch at all times.

Mark,

I found this site https://sites.google.com/site/phostenix ... ams/strats about 5 years ago.
Numerous wiring diagrams presented that incorporate the S1 switch.
