2010 American Special Stratocaster® - Part Three

Electronics


Quick Links:    Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six

This post mainly highlights what was done to this American Special Stratocaster® electronics-wise . We'll start off with the owner's specific request that (i) the brass base/grounding plates be removed, (ii) the pickups be rewired with Gavitt wire; and (iii) the pots, switch, jack and hardware beyond saving be replaced.

And so out went the old electronics, and in went 100% Gavitt wiring, new CRL five-way switch, CTS 250K pots, 0.022uF tone cap, Switchcraft #11 jack socket, pickup tubing, miscellaneous screws; and a set of vintage-style bent steel saddles. Besides all this, the owner, desiring a "fresh new look," had me replace the stock off-white pickup covers, knobs; and switch tip with black ones.
