ToneShaper Wiring Kit, Stratocaster, Blender (SSS1)

Description: ToneShaper Wiring Kit, Stratocaster, Blender (SSS1) Blender WiringTelecasters allow players to select the neck and bridge pickups together, but Stratocasters don't. Many players over the years have added switches to Stratocasters to allow this combination, and the switch is usually a push/pull pot or a mini-toggle switch (manufacturers - including G&L - have offered this as stock wiring on guitars). Lindy Fralin had a better idea. Rather then use a switch, he uses the bottom tone control to function as the switch. But since this control is a variable resistor, rather than merely switch a pickup on or off, it allows the player to blend a pickup into or out of the mix, like a volume control would do. The blender control affects either the neck or bridge pickup. In its full-clockwise position the blender control does absolutely nothing, and in fact makes itself disappear from the circuit so as not to load the circuit (think true bypass). In this position, the 5-way switch functions like a normal Strat, with one volume and one tone control. But turn the blender control counter-clockwise in positions 1, 2, 4, or 5, and it adds in the neck or bridge pickup as shown below. The player can get lots of subtle tonal coloration with this control. Position 5 - Neck (blend control adds bridge) Position 4 - N+M (blend control adds bridge Position 3 - blend control inactive Position 2 - B+M (blend control adds neck Position 1 - Bridge (blend control adds neck This kit includes everything you need to wire a Stratocaster with blender wiring (refer to the images above for a switching diagram).
