Wiring Plans

Been looking at the wiring plans at GuitarElectronics.com and at some of the info here at 1728.com  I think I have settled on some plans. One of the interesting things I ran into on my travels was the "guitar solo switch" to be found here, this is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for and if it sounds good I'm going to try and use it in all my wirings.

Epi Les Paul: Nothing changes here for now, keep the look the same and put a coil tap/split on each knob. If I don't find much use for splitting the neck, i might rewire for the solo switch instead later on. There are a bunch of other things to try here.

Peavey Tracer: This is my old hair band guitar from the late 80's.

Pretty much exactly as shown. HSS with a 5-way and a coil tap for the bridge. The fairly cheap floyd rose is a bit of a pain and really needs to be setup properly again. It was a damn good guitar for getting  any sound for any style when I played 7 days a week and got to know it like the back of my hand. But now that i just sit in my basement and play a couple of times a week it's not so much fun. hence the search for a simpler LP type guitar. So I have decided to open it up and practice some wiring on it. I'm going to go with this. I get to play with a superswitch and I think I'll add the guitar solo circuit for the mini toggle. This wiring will give me most of the sounds I liked plus a neck bridge i never had. Later I'll think about adding an sc rail humbucker at the neck. More practice for the LP.

Pink Strat: I'm ordering a pre-wired sss harness for this so I think I'm just going to make these changes and add a 2nd pp pot for the guitar solo circuit. I am imagining this will help me get my Hendrix fix. I might have to buy an amp to really get the feedback going.

LP: With all the practice I build up from the above projects I'm hoping not to have any trouble building the full Jimmy Page from scratch. Also I'm going to be in NJ for a week in July, so I'll probably have the stuff shipped there as it will save me $70 buck or so in shipping.

So those are the plans for now, I'll see how long I can keep them.
