Terminator's Guitar Wiring

Do you remember Terminator movies? Do you remember Terminator's character? He's a cool, reticent, strong and effective killing machine.

What kind of guitar this dude play? I'm sure it's not a jazz box or an ukulele.

Before I will write something more about the guitar, I need to tell you about the Terminator's rules:

1. The best guns are simple, effective, loud and powerful.

2. Kung-Fu and Karate sucks. It's better to just throw an enemy against a wall. A simple, strong punch also works well.

3. To solve a problem with a bad guy, you need to eliminate him (kill).

...He's just a simple, no-compromise dude.

So, how the Terminator's way of life affects his guitar preferences?

Fat Strat Mod (Fender + Charvel)

This Fat-Strat (HSS Stratocaster) modification project is based on functions of classic Strat and Charvel guitar wirings. The target of this construction is to get well known, vintage Strat single-coil pickup vibes, and hot, crisp, dynamic humbucker tone, typical for single-pot Charvels.

Guitar Wiring for Metal Maniacs - Two Pickups Version

This guitar wiring is very similar to the previous one (Guitar wiring for metal maniacs), which is designed for guitars with only one, high output pickup, made to play rock/metal. This is just a 'two pickups version' of it.

Guitar Wiring for Metal Maniacs

There are some electric guitars on the market, designed especially for metal music. This guitars, very often, have just one, high output pickup and just one potentiometer – 500K volume. This kind of simple wiring is not smoothing the sound, so it's a perfect distinct, distorted tone maker.

Here, i would like to present my mod of it. This wiring will allow you to make the tone more crisp and percussive, just by one click. It's something useful for fast palm-muting, or screaming solo play. 

All you need to make it, is push-pull 500K potentiometer and some resistor.
