EVH Frankenstein wiring details

Post by yngwie308 » Fri Dec 05, 2014 6:51 pm

In Decembers Premier Guitar online magazine is an article describing the famous wiring of Ed's Franky Strat.
I'm sure many here are aware of the details but thought I would share them with you:

Enjoy Merry Christmas

Thanks for posting this.

I really like that "tone switch" idea of using a switch to add the effect of a tone control on 10 without having to add the additional pot. Using a push-push switching volume pot seems a slick way of doing this.

Edited to add: I may be confused but I think there may be a mistake in this diagram(Fig. 2) Shouldn't there be a resistor matching whatever tone pot value you're simulating here in series with the tone cap?

This Stew-Mac page explains tone controls clearly.http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Re ... works.html
