I am currently having a strat build ..... not a fender .

Got a great piece of birdseye maple thats gonna be her neck lol.
Its the middle board on the picture I think its gonna make an awsome neck ( hope you agree )

Birdseye maple

That should make a beauty of a neck man! Enjoy the project bro, I just finished a strat build and it was a blast!. Here's a shot of the neck during the finishing process and the final product.
Wow!

I watched your tread about that strat ( i voted for another fond for the AJM lol ). Turned out great i really love the figuring on that neck as well !

Thanks man .

What are the details on your project? Specs, color, etc?

It will have a swamp ash body under a colour that is going to be somewhat inbetween sonic and daphne blue, Vintage Kluson tuners, Gotoh vintage strat tremelo, Kinman AVN Traditional MKII Pickups, Mint 3 ply pickguard and mint tremcover, Cocobolo fretboard with pau abalone inlays, Ivory nut and a TBX pot so the neck pup can be blend with the bridge for extra quot;telequot; sounds and oil in paper NOS tonecaps.
Should turn out nice lol

that's a good lookin' hunk o' wood ya got there lol...it seriously should make a killer looking neck!!

Very cool, but I don't know if the TBX pot is what you want to use for the blend feature. Those are a center detent pot, which I think is basically two pots stacked that share one shaft with the quot;zeroquot; position for both in center. It seems to me that turning it one way would turn up the volume on say the bridge pickup, and turning the other way would turn it up on the neck, making it an either/or instead of a blend.

For the blend control on my strat, I just used a no-load blend pot. The way you wire it up, when you have selected the neck or neck/middle on the 5-way, it blends in the bridge pickup, and when you've selected the bridge or bridge/middle it blends in the neck. I'll post the link to the place I got mine from.

Dont know but this is what Kinman says about using the TBX control on his website

quot;Fenders TBX control is also suitable for this control because it is 1Meg plus. So rather than throw the TBX pot away as many players do, save it and use it for the neck pickup mix control. Wire it as shown in this picture; and remember it works in reverse and disconnects the pickup between the Centre Detent (5) and Full (10). It only begins to mix the pickups past 5, and progressively more down to 0, where the pickups are fully mixed. Of the two white wires disappearing out the left side of the photo one goes to the neck pickup switch terminal and the other to the centre leg of the Tone pot (as depicted in my Wirogram for Strats* provided with every Strat* pickup).quot;

So i recon it should work out well Thanks for the link though ill check it out !

Very cool, I didn't know that. Although if I'm reading it correctly it sounds like it only mixes in the neck pickup. You could get more neck/less bridge by cranking up the TBX pot and turning down the volume on the bridge unit though .
