Hello together,
I'm new and I want to take the chance to thank the forum for beeing a big help for me over the last peroid of time. Many questions have been answered!!
One thing I did not figuer out:
Wiring my 86 Strat with the Q-filter in the following way.
the first tone pot (the one in the middle) should make the the tone of all three pick ups and the other one should control all three pick ups with the
Q-Filter.
thanks in advance for your help!!

DTrain wrote:Hi, and welcome! For the master tone control, rewire your guitar like this: http://www.fender.com/sup..._02B/SD0135300_02BPg2.pdf Beware that hot wire from BL strat bridge pickups is red, middle pickup hot wire is green and neck pickup hot wire is white. For the Q-control, wire the second tone pot like one of the schematics below: The first one gives you great control over a narrow frequency range determined by cap and resistor values, while the other one will give you a faux "acoustic-ish " sound with the filter at max setting.

Hi Grumpy!
I use the fender diagr. for the middle pot and the BL diagr. for the other pot. Do you see them? Best regards!! DTrain |

Hi Fuzzy Beard!!
thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!! As promised here my little comment on the wiring you suggested. It works and it sounds great! In all Switch positions - Tone and Qfilter work!! As you said - the Qfilter turned on - makes the Strat sound accuistic!! In my words its a mid filter, which gives a great sound for typical StratClean POP Squeeze. Even so I have to get used to the high amount of treble, the PICKUPS produce I got ht e L200 in bridge and middle and the L298 in the neck whereas the neck/middle position is not so quaky like the bridge middle position. That was a little different to my old PickUps(Seymor Duncan)! Anyhow it would be great to get a hint from you, what PickUps I should order for my les Paul Copy (Bacchus). Actually I want it as close as possibble to the great Blues Tones which are produced by various artists. But not so hevy driven ones!! After the years I don't play a lot of heavy distorted sounds. I got some boogies but my favorite AMP is a deluxe reverb from 68! I appriciate your help Its snowing in germany!! Good time to practice!! Peace and freedom Dtrain |

My pleasure! Glad you liked the BLs and Q-filter
Regarding the LP - based on your comments - my first choice would be a pair of L-80s: nice output, very balanced with a sweet high
end IMO unsurpassed by any other humbucker available.
