How to wire a Stratocaster - Grounding, Pickups and 5 way switch

Our very first video - step by step guide to wiring a Stratocaster using our https://sixstringsupplies.co.uk/produ... Strat wiring kits including pickup installation, grounding, wiring the 5 way switch and the testing.

This guitar in this video was a partscaster/DIY guitar kit and the stock electronics were not too good.

Out go the Chinese pots, switch and pickups and replaced with CTS pots, CRL spring action 5 way switch and push back cloth wire.

Wiring a Stratocaster is actually fairly simple and once you learn how to do it, you can easily change things around or modify your Strat wiring to a different or more exotic setup.
