ToneShaper Wiring Kit, Stratocaster, Big Apple (HH1)

Description: ToneShaper Wiring Kit, Stratocaster, Big Apple (HH1) Big Apple WiringFender created the Big Apple Stratocaster in the 1990s in order to marry some of the most popular Strat tones with the humbucker tones of a Gibson. They followed this effort with more two-humbucker Strats - like the Double Fat Strat and the Blacktop Strat - making it clear that this pickup configuration has been met with a warm reception by players everywhere. The scheme is straightforward: Positions 1/3/5 give you the straight-ahead humbucker tones you'd find in a Gibson, while the 2/4 are the "Fender" positions (single coils). Our experience is that the normal Strat's 2-position (bridge/middle in parallel) and 5-position (neck only) are the two must have pickup options in the view of most players - these are the overwhelming favorites. The Big Apple wiring mimics these two settings in the 2 and 4 positions: Position 5 - Neck HBPosition 4 - Neck SCPosition 3 - Bridge HB + Neck HBPosition 2 - Bridge SC + Neck SCPosition 1 - Bridge HB Our HH1 wiring scheme essentially employs the original Big Apple wiring, but with the notable exception that the second position uses one screw coil and one slug coil from the pickups in order to achieve hum-canceling. Like the original, we use a 500k volume pot since this is the value that most humbuckers are voiced with, but we've also added functionality that drops the volume pot's value to 250k in the 2/4 positions, so the Fender positions will sound more convincing. We've left the tone-control wiring alone, opting to use Fender's original configuration - a tone control for the 1-position (bridge pickup), and the other tone control for the other four switch positions. This kitincludes everything you need to wire a two-humbucker Stratocaster with Big Apple wiring (refer to the images above for a switching diagram). It includes the finest components, from the same suppliers that the large U.S. guitar companies have used for decades. Please Note: The white plastic piece shown in the image is no longer included. This held the neck pickup's wire centered between the neck and bridge pickup.
