# Three Strat Stack Plus pickups with a super 5-way blade and volume Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/three-stacks-plus-super-five-way-volume Three Strat Stack Plus · 4-pole super 5-way · One volume Seymour Duncan sheet: three Strat Stack Plus pickups on a 4-pole 5-way super switch with a 250k master volume and no tone. The two in-between positions split both selected pickups; the other three use one stack whole. Drawing: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/three-stacks-plus-super-five-way-volume.svg (back of controls) ## Parts and values - Neck Strat Stack Plus: Neck Strat Stack Plus; compatible example (Strat Stack Plus) - Middle Strat Stack Plus: Middle Strat Stack Plus; compatible example (Strat Stack Plus) - Bridge Strat Stack Plus: Bridge Strat Stack Plus; compatible example (Strat Stack Plus) - 5-way super switch: 5-way super switch; compatible example (Oak Grigsby 4-Pole 5-Way Super Switch) - Master volume 250k: Master volume 250k; 250k; compatible example (CTS 250k Audio Pot) - Output jack: Output jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#11) - Ground wire to bridge: Ground wire to bridge; generic (Bridge ground wire) ## Specific to this wiring - Switch legend: 1. Bridge full stack; 2. Bridge split + Middle split; 3. Middle full stack; 4. Neck split + Middle split; 5. Neck full stack. - Black & bare wires from ALL pickups get soldered here: the upper Solder spot on the volume casing. - Switch lead labels as printed: bridge white, neck white, middle white, middle red, bridge red, neck red. - The source does not number the super switch's lugs; the lugs are mapped by what they do (see the terminal mapping). - Jack: Tip (hot output); Sleeve (ground). The inner, circular portion of the jack. ## Connections 1. Lower wafer lug 1 → Volume casing (lower Solder spot) (case, black): Drawn broken where it passes behind the pickup cables. 2. Lower wafer lug 12 → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (case, black) 3. Neck black → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (case, black) 4. Neck drain → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (shield, bare): Drawn yellow. 5. Middle black → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (case, black) 6. Middle drain → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (shield, bare): Drawn yellow. 7. Bridge black → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (case, black) 8. Bridge drain → Volume casing (upper Solder spot) (shield, bare): Drawn yellow. 9. Volume third lug → Volume casing (case): Lug bent onto the casing. 10. Volume casing (lower Solder spot) → Jack sleeve (wire, black) 11. Ground wire to bridge → Volume casing (lower Solder spot) (shield, black) 12. Bridge white → Upper wafer lug 7 (wire, white) 13. Upper wafer lug 7 → Upper wafer lug 8 (wire, black): Short jumper. 14. Middle white → Upper wafer lug 3 (wire, white) 15. Upper wafer lug 3 → Upper wafer lug 4 (wire, black): Short jumper. 16. Upper wafer lug 4 → Upper wafer lug 5 (wire, black): Short jumper. 17. Neck white → Upper wafer lug 10 (wire, white) 18. Upper wafer lug 10 → Upper wafer lug 11 (wire, black): Short jumper. 19. Upper wafer lug 1 → Upper wafer lug 12 (wire, black): Arcs over the top and down the left side of the switch. 20. Upper wafer lug 12 → Volume first lug (wire, black): Loops under the switch. 21. Middle red → Lower wafer lug 3 (wire, red) 22. Lower wafer lug 3 → Lower wafer lug 5 (wire, black): Jumper. 23. Bridge red → Lower wafer lug 8 (wire, red) 24. Neck red → Lower wafer lug 10 (wire, red) 25. Volume middle lug → Jack tip (wire, black): Hops over the sleeve wire on the way down. ## What each position does - Bridge full stack: Bridge Strat Stack Plus (both coils). Source: 1. Bridge full stack. - Bridge split + Middle split: Middle Strat Stack Plus (split to one coil) and Bridge Strat Stack Plus (split to one coil) in parallel. Source: 2. Bridge split + Middle split. - Middle full stack: Middle Strat Stack Plus (both coils). Source: 3. Middle full stack. - Neck split + Middle split: Neck Strat Stack Plus (split to one coil) and Middle Strat Stack Plus (split to one coil) in parallel. Source: 4. Neck split + Middle split. - Neck full stack: Neck Strat Stack Plus (both coils). Source: 5. Neck full stack. - The on-board component drawn across the bottom-coil pads of each Strat Stack Plus (no value printed) is not modelled. - The engine reports hum cancelling as unknown for the two split pairs. - Pickup resistance is not specified, so no numeric meter readings are given. ## Check before plugging in - In each switch position, the meter across the jack should read the stack or split pair the legend names. - In position 1 the bridge red lug should read open to ground; in position 2 it should read ground. ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the Seymour Duncan diagram 3STKplus\_S5W\_1V, revision 1.
