Jag-Stang upgrading, opinions/wiring diagrams wanted

busydoingnothing

How did this mod go? Is anyone able to make a wiring diagram for this? It sounds like this offers the most variations in sound with the stock hardware (minus that extra switch).

I'd like to know how the push/pull is wired for the out of phase function.

On mine I'd like to wire 1 switch for the pickup selection, the other for tone and volume bypass and add a push/pull to put the single coil out of phase.

Is it possible?

sorry for the lack of attention on this thread.

it's been nearly a year since my jag-stang went in for work, and there's a reason for this.

I was asked a few weeks after taking her in about how "attached" i was to the piece of wood (body) that guitar had. reason was because they had an idea about creating a new body out of a different piece of wood so that the original color could stay on the old one. the cost was gonna be about $150-$200 more.

i went for it.

we are right now waiting on a decision regarding the neck. the options are to either use the old neck, find a replacement neck used, or get a custom built neck. i'm leaning towards a custom built warmoth neck made of Koa and ebony with stainless steel fretwires and abalone inlays.

Did you ever get this finished??

finally back at it here, so i figured i'd update massively.

My original jag-stang sits taken apart while the new body was made. I ended up getting the Koa/Ebony warmoth neck. We're going with a blue burst paint job on the front and likely staying close to natural wood on the back. Plan on doing a laser etched image of my daughter on the back. Putting the hawaiian islands on the headstock. Body/belly contour Arm/elbow contour possibly a strat-like cable jack where it goes in at an angle as opposed to jutting straight out

I went to see it last week and i'm pretty happy overall. At the state we're at, i have to find someone to do the laser etching.

We're also still very much interested in the wiring aspects and ideas, especially now that it's 10 years later, since it is possible new things have come out that might change up how we'd do it now vs back then.

For a refresher:

white stock switches being swapped out for black Volume/tone pots being swapped out for 500k pots Volume pot will be push/pull switch Black TB-5 going into the bridge Black JB Jr going into the Neck Orange Drop 0.22 going on to the tone

Wiring for two 3-position switches:

Switch 1: Pickup Selector (TB-5/Both/JB Jr) Switch 2: Series/Split/Parallel Push/Pull: Phase Selector (Volume POT)

Wiring for three 3-position switches if we can manage it:

Switch 1: Series/Split/Parallel, JB Jr Switch 2: Series/Split/Parallel, TB-5 Switch 3 (would need to be added): Pickup Selector (TB-5/Both/JB Jr) Push/Pull: Phase Selector (Volume Port)

New possible addition:

I was tuned in to the StellarTone ToneStyler product right around when i started this project, and while i haven't touched the project in years until now, it still seems like an interesting option. I'll continue to look into it but would still love to hear ideas
