S-1 Pickup Switching

[bam3211]

This summer I am building a custom strat using parts from stewmac.com and warmoth.com. I also have a 1970s neck from a strat I owned previously. One thing I really want in it is the s-1 pickupo switching. I was wondering if anyone knew if I could purchase that through Fender or maybe another site. I've been looking and no finding any results on where to purchase it. I understand I might not be able to purchase it and was wondering if anyone knew any information about it.

Thanks

incorporating an s-1 system, even if you can get your hands on one, into a custom strat will be exceedingly difficult, you can do the same thing with a series of added switches, 1 for each pickup, and run the direct output feed through the switch, then you can turn pickups on and off as you like.

yeah, itll be tough, ebay would prolly be your best bet, cause fender sure as hell aint lettin that stuff out... and like praise said then your work has just begun cause the wiring will be tough.

I actually have. Me and my friend who has taken courses and is an excellent luthier, build guitars a lot. We have built basses and guitars usually from scratch. My friend usually takes care of most of the wiring and i do a lot of the cut5ting and sanding whcih takes much longer. On the start I am buying the body and neck form warmoth.com. I will apply the finish and install everything else, it will be much easier then building from scratch . Thank you for your concern though I know it will be a pretty brutal task.

thanks

ok well heres an option, not exactly an s-1 but get a warmoth push pot, that pushes for on and stuff... possibly rewire it for s-1 switching.

pp500 or pp250 on the bottom

EDIT: havent done my research dont know if itll work, so shoot warmoth an email asking if they know itll work.
