Installing SSL-4 Qtr Pound on Strat Delux with S1 Switch

[kvanhulst]

Hello, I bought 3 SSL-4 QTR pound for my Stratocaster deluxe. it has a S1 switch. I was surprised to see that the pickup's in the guitar have 3 wires but on the Seymour Duncan SSL-4's I only have 2 wires.
See my pics:




I don't know how I should do the setup.

Can you please advise witch wiring diagram I should use.

welcome to the forum!

it appears that the red and black wires are the ones you want to use as a template

I took your advice, and installed them like you said. They work, great, but I'm not satisfied with the sound. I must say. I bought the SSL-4 hoping they would improve my sound, but the clean sound still gives a little crunch on it.
I use it on a mesa boogie mark III. I have a PRS custom 24 which is my primary guitar, I use the strat has backup when I gig. But if I have to switch my sound is really degraded, I was hoping to change this with the SSL-4 element, but .....
I'm disappointed with the pickup’s!!! :-(

Maybe you just need a bridge bucker in the strat?
Try the PATB-3.

I daresay I think I found your problem...

The Strat is distorting more through this thing's clean channel than a PRS and its humbuckers?

Are you adjusting the gain, or the master volume when you switch guitars?
