SSS / HSS Prewired Electronic Assembly with “Gilmour” Push Pull Mod for Stratocaster type Guitars –

A high quality electronic replacement / upgrade for Stratocaster style guitars with 3 single coil pickups (S/S/S) or 1 humbucker and 2 single coils (H/S/S). This controll plate is an exact fit for Fender USA/MEX as well as Squier pickguards and pickguards we sell at Valley Sound. We can not guarantee it will fit a pickguard that has a different layout or made by a different company. The distance between the pot holes must be exact.

The Gilmour mod is where the neck pickup can be activated via Push/Pull pot while in any position, giving you 2 extra pickup configurations. Meaning you can now have the Neck and Bridge combination or all 3 pickups on at the same time.

Switch assignment:

Push/Pull in (normal):

Position 1 = Neck

Position 2 = Neck+ Middle

Position 3 = Middle

Position 4 = Middle + Bridge

Position 5 = Bridge

7-Way Push/Pull pulled:

Position 1 = Neck

Position 2 = Neck + Middle

Position 3 = Middle + Neck

Position 4 = Middle + Bridge + Neck

Position 5 = Bridge + Neck

Required body cavity depth for push/pull pot: At least 30mm

Comes standard with a Karman Vintage Style 5 way switch, Full Sized Brass Shaft Potentiometers. Complete with all electronics soldered with vintage spec cloth wire, neatly wired up and installed on a rigid aluminum grounding plate (helps eliminate electrical noise at the same time) all you need to do is disconnect your pickups and output jack from your old electronic assembly and fit this electronic assembly to your pickguard and reconnect the output jack and pickups to our solderless connector. It is easy to do, the connector is spring activated so you just press on the orange part with a screwdriver, insert the wire and release. All the ground wires go to the bottom terminals and each hot goes to top terminals. They will be colour coded so you know where to put the hot of each component:

Output jack hot gets connected to the white terminal

Neck pickup to the blue terminal

Middle pickup to the red terminal

Bridge pickup to the yellow terminal
