How to wire or rewire a Fender Stratocaster (soldering up a Fender strat)

In this video I wire up a scratch plate on a Fender strat with all new components. I decided to rewire this guitar because of the limited tones available on the Fender Yngwie Malmsteen signature series Stratocaster. The 3 way pickup selector switch and the DeMarzio pickups leave the guitar with a serious lack of the sort of tonal variations I use to write music, so I completely rewire the guitar so it better suits my needs. I leave the original wiring attached to the original scratch plate and replace the whole scratch play with the guitar wiring attached so I can put the guitar back to original condition if I decide to sell it.

The results are great and using the five way switch I can now get from light almost electro-acoustic tones right the way through to a descent drive on an 80s/90s high gain distortion. I have posting a PDF of this tutorial and the circuit diagrams if anyone is interested.

The PDF eBook with all the information on this tutorial can be downloaded here, however there are lots of alternative ways to wire and rewire a Fender Strat on the internet.
