Seven Sounds from your Strat (David Gilmour mod)

This time in The Room of Rock we show you how to take a standard Stratocaster style guitar with a 5 position selector switch and take it from 5 sounds to 7 good usable tones. All without the need to drill or modify the guitar its self, and a parts bill of under £10.00.

Have you done any mods to your guitar you think stand the test of time?

[@pekkatervala8476]

Simple mods on my mid 70's Bellwood Super Swinger MIJ strat. Planet Waves locking tuners, roller type string tree, ceramic pickups loaded pickguard with 5 way selector. Master tone and neck/bridge pickup blender mod. It has served me well for 41 years. Original body, neck, frets and output jack. Other guitars come and go, this stays for life.

@@airdog1829 Hi, I use treble bleed kits on my guitars too, as i like to roll the volume back without sacrificing treble

[@theroomofrock6456]

@@airdog1829 sounds like some interesting mods you have planned for the Pacifica

Im excited to do this on my hard tail strat from Cort called a G100. It has the same red body and white pickguard as yours. I learned about this mod from sweetwater. Thanks for demoing it kind sir.

2 second video made into a documentary👍🙄🙄🙄

Hi! Great video! I was wondering if this could be done in a different pot than the volume one, thanks

[@theroomofrock6456]

Yes you could switch any of the pots that suited you, I used the volume as I have tbx tone controls on this and didn't want to change them out.

hi...is it possible if i do with hss pickup?..thanks

[@theroomofrock6456]

Yes that will work as well. I assume the humbucker is in the bridge position so the wiring for turning on the neck pick up would be exactly the same. If you had a humbucker that you wanted to turn on (that was coil tapped (4 connector wires) you would use both sides of the switch do do that. As yours is still a single coil the wiring would be as described in the video. I hope this helps
