    Default Hot Stack STK-S2 x 3 and 5 way wiring

    I have one Hot Stack STK-S2 in the bridge pos of a Strat. This pup is a 4 wire humbucker.

    I intend to buy two more for the mid and neck positions and I would like to just use the standard 5 way Strat switch. I have the SD wiring chart for this and it's quite clear how to do it but what they don't say on the chart, is whether the pickups will be noise-cancelling in positions 2 and 4 as well as 1, 3 and 5.

    Anyone know what the deal is with 3 of these stacks in a Strat?

    Thanks, Rick

    Stacks are, by design, hum cancelling. Splitting them negates the hum cancelling effect.
    Ergo, as long as they aren't split, then all positions will be hum cancelling.

    Thanks DrNewcenstein! I figured that would be the case... just needed that little bit of confirmation!

    If You use the wiring from the link below all 5 positions will be hum-canceling.
    You have to use the super switch instead of the standard way switch.
