Great info, thank you!

Thanks Gerry, I appreciate the reply. I posted the wrong image of the switch, so I do have the S+T 5-way rotary with 8 lugs. I posted an updated image here with the look of the switch I have (but rotary instead of blade). Also screengrabbed the Strat diagram from the bottom of the link you mentioned. I’m assuming that the 8 square boxes in the diagram correspond to the 8 tabs on the switch? I.e. the hot lead from the neck pickup would be soldered into lug #2, the hot lead from middle pickup into lug #1, etc?

Also, if I wanted to cut one of those tone pots out of that diagram, would it be the one connected to lug #6?

Thanks for any info!

PS, love your book! Extremely helpful so far.

I do need to take the jump into figuring out a better setup. I think I keep holding off because I add up everything I need to do it “right” (sprayer, filters, fans, temperature control, humidity control, etc) and the cost seems prohibitive at the moment.

Hi Ian, thanks for the response. I do have a water heater with a pilot light somewhere in there. Would be pretty far away from what I’m doing though.
