james90 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 and where do they go to be grounded?? the fernandes manual? thanks i assume you can just ground them to the back of the volume pot like anything else. there's nothing that you can really ground to in that area in the upper horn, since no other electronics are up there and yes. if you don't have it, it's available on the fernandes website.

james90 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 quick question for those familiar with strat wiring do i wire up a 3 way switch the same way as a 5 way switch? i can't find any information that says if they have to be wired differently. and also, capacitor values... it seems like 47nf is the most common for strats, but i'm tempted to try .1uf or would that be a bad idea? i'm using seymour duncan SSL-1 vintage staggers or whatever they're called, so they're probably not that high output if that makes a difference. i'm tempted to try the dav logon signature wiring setup too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 A 3 way is wired differently. Feel free to experiment with caps. it is? i can't find a diagram for a 3 way strat switch anywhere only teles does that diagram you drew me work with single coils? I have to find it... I think I still have it saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 yeah that's the one i had, but I wasn't sure if it was right - it looks the same as a 5 way switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 yeah that's the one i had, but I wasn't sure if it was right - it looks the same as a 5 way switch It might just be the internals of the switch then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittle Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi guys! Working on my chinese replica and I have already installed the MBK2 and fernandes 401 kit, however the sustainer itself doesent work. I have followed the instructions for 3 way switch in the manual (HERE) and also confirmed with some guys video ( ) The 3 way in humbucker position works, but the single coil only works when the sustainer is on. Probably right. However! I have removed the pot for the intensity and wired the 2 wires together and left the ground with tape. Fernandes told me that this could be done in a short email, any experience or ideas? Also, where can I wire the kill switch? I have no experience with kill switches, so If you luthiery guys have done something like this you could probably supply me with a chart? Thanks!

Mittle Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I fixed the driver problem. The connection in the socket was loose, no biggie Works like a charm. But if u have any kill switch charts fire them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
