squier strat bridge tone mod

I know how to do it on a regular fender, but I don't know how I should do it with this, because of the shitty pickup selector switch.

Here's the wiring diagram, where should I do it?

Re: squier strat bridge tone mod

I assume you're talking about adding a tone control to the bridge pickup - if that's the case you only need to move one wire, from "tone 2" to "unused" as depicted on this switch diagram:

damn it, forgot to post the wiring diagram, but yeah that is what I'm talking about

although it doesn't look like the toggle I'm looking at in the squier diagram

I've been thinking all along that this might work, but I just want to make sure...

Re: squier strat bridge tone mod

Take whichever of those two wires on the right leads to the middle tone and switch it to the unused post. That'll probably do it

Or if you want the tone control to work for both the mid and bridge ,just jump a wire from the one going to the mid tone to the unused.

Re: squier strat bridge tone mod

Alright, the pot in the squier is a 500k pot, which I think is stupid, so I'm gonna take that one out, throw in a a500k epiphone pot with a 0.22 400v capacitor from my gibson, and wire it to my bridge pot
