First time installing new pick guard, new duncan disortion trembucker (split in the #4 position), new ssl-3 hot for strat neck, ssl-3 RW/RP hot for strat middle, new volume and tone pots (250k) Used seymour wiring diagram for split in the #4 position. Tested with no srings, in the single coil positions (#4-#1) there is tons of hum, also the neck pup seams to lack output. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hello fellow members. Im the new kid on the block!

I would expect the singles by themselves to hum. Thats normal. However my gut feeling is that you have a problem somewhere on the earth side of the circuit. Review your work with the schematic one more time.

Welcome to the forum

I may be mistaken, but in a H-S-S setup, is it the neck that neck that should be rw/rp?

You are the man Architect, after reviewing my conections I noticed that I had ran the grounds of the body, to the middle tone pot. After re-soldering it to its proper location (volume pot) and installing the strings Im in duncan town. This is a project strat my son and I are constructing for him. I have been ripping heads off with my 75 srtat for over 20 years. Thank You Very Much!

Thank you for the input JB. If I didn't solve the problem I would have used your suggestion next. I ended up leaving the RW/RP pup in the middle position. That ended up not being the problem in my particular case. I'm new here on the sight, but I will be hanging out often, maybe I can help out another member in the future. Thanks again.
