Move the bridge and neck pup ground leads to the FAT-O, and hook up the prewired leads like this: The wire colors on the stock stuff might not be the same as the drawing, but the M-3's COLORS ARE CORRECT.
Wuzzit do? Well, for starters, you now can select from 11 different pickup combinations! Yes, some of the tones are repeated - but that's what makes this thing so darn easy to use… So, WHAT are the new tones, and WHERE are they? I like to count the settings this way: the FAT-O-Caster switch has “notches” we'll call 1, 2, 3 and 4, numbered as you turn the switch COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. So, if it was a tone control on “10”, you would be at notch 1. As you turn the control “down,” like from ten to, say, six, you go through the notches 1 through 4. Remember that even though you have the FAT-O-Caster installed, the 5-way still controls the tones - here's what to expect from the 5-way at each M-3 notch: Notch 1 (“tone knob” on “10”) is just normal Strat tones. NOTE: As a reference for the rest of these instructions: Throws on the 5-way: 1=neck, 2=middle and neck, 3=middle, 4=middle and bridge, 5=bridge Notch 2 (“tone knob” on “9”) is the "NECK on with BRIDGE" setting – the neck pup is ALSO routed to the bridge end of the 5-way switch. The combos are all wired parallel. As you throw the 5-way in this setting, you get (from 1 to 5): 1 = neck 2 = neck and middle 3 = middle 4 = bridge, middle, and neck 5 = bridge and neck There now, isn't that what you've always said you wanted your Strat to be able to do? Notch 3 (“tone knob” on “8”) is the “BRIDGE and NECK in SERIES" setting. In 1, 2 and 3 it's normal Strat combos In 5, you get the bridge and neck in series, a rather Gibson-ish tone. In 4, you get the bridge and neck in series and parallel to the mid pup Notch 4 (“tone knob” on “7”) is the " SERIES with MID" setting. In 1 , it the neck and mid in series - the two pups work as a sort of "neck humbucker" In 2, 3, and 4, you get the mid pup only. In 5, you get the bridge and mid in series - the two pups work as a sort of "bridge humbucker" Hey, e-mail me with any questions, comments, or suggestions! EB@deaf-eddie.net
