Hello and welcome to the forum, we would love to help.

Hello everyone! Could someone tell me where I can find it the Wiring Diagram of Squier Vintage Modified Strat HSS Specifications?? I would like install a push/pull in my Squier.

Thanks for all!!!!!

I'm not trying to sound rude, but this is where my first principles thinking comes across that way...
Makes me wonder what the wiring diagram has to do with installing a push/pull pot.

You want to put in a push/pull to accomplish what?
How would having a stock diagram be beneficial?

Do you want to see a diagram of what you already have?
or
Do you want help wiring in a push/pull pot to your guitar?

^Just all things in my head.^

OR are you really just asking.....

Could someone tell me where I can find it the Wiring Diagram of Squier Vintage Modified Strat HSS Specifications??

In which case, yes. online.
Or perhaps if you contact the manufacturer they can send you a document.

If you want someone to make you a wiring diagram, then I can do that.
But you'll have to provide more details, especially what you want the push/pull pot to do.

I'm sorry for not being precise. I would like to install a Push/Pull to make Split Coil Screw on the bridge pickup of my Squier VM Start HSS. Now, I am search information in YouTube and Google about this topic. I thought it would be good to have the Wiring Diagram - Squier Vintage Modified Strat HSS Specifications. I would like put this Push/pull in the second button of tone (away from the lever of trémolo)..but...How do I change what is already on this button from the tone to the push/pull?

As you can see, I'm new to this stuff...but I think with a little help I can do it. Thanks for answering

 

[Diavolo]

I think you can do it too!
I'm getting ready to jam with a friend so I only have time to make a short answer now but will check back later.

does what you have look like this?

Its simple to do coil split but you need a 4 wire pickup. I think yours are.
On the bridge humbucker wiring there will be red and white wires taped off. they are currently going to nothing.
if those two wires (leave them connected) touch a ground source it will turn off half of the humbucker.

A push/pull pot, is just a regular pot with a DPDT switch on the bottom.
Wire the top part up like it already is, and then connect the extra wires from the humbucker to the poles on the bottom and ground. I know that doesnt make sense yet.

I will try to find a simple picture that makes sense.
in the meantime theres info and pics here...

Sorry it took me a bit to reply.
The electricity went out here because of a storm.

Here is picture i drew on, that should work. Attached below.
I tried to copy your wire colors, but its hard to tell where things are going in your picture.

Connect the leg from the green capacitor with the white sleeve on it to the outer lug on the push pull / pot.
Connect the yellow wire to the middle.
Nothing goes on the remaining lug.
All of that is just like before.

Your push pull pot might have a little grounding tap on the very bottom below the lettered poles in the diagram where I wrote a 1.
you can attach the 3 black wires there that were originally on the back of the tone pot.
If there is not a little tab down there, then attach them to the back/side of the pot like before; seen where i wrote a 2.
You would then also attached D to where the 2. is.

The red and white wires from the humbucker go to a middle pole like the B or the E.
Then you need to put a wire above which ever you choose (B or E) that goes to a ground source.
Meaning:
If you attach red and white to E then put a wire to ground on D
If you attach red and white to B then put a wire to ground on A

This will split the humbucker when you pull up on the knob.

The green wire from the humbucker stays on the switch like before.
The black wire from the humbucker stays grounded to the back of the volume pot like before.

Please remember when you wire this:
if the potentiometer is in the pickguard and its flipped over then the picture will be upside down from how you see it when you work on it.

Good luck!

I'm good with simple wiring schemes, but I get confused on more complex ones like this. How do you know whether it's the red or white wire that's the other end of the coil with the green wire, or doesn't it matter if the red and white are both connected to the same place on the switch, and they'll both be grounded when the switch is activated? Also, how do you know if the inside or outside coil will be the one still on when the switch is activated? Don't you need to know which coil the green wire comes from to know the answer to that?

@DougMen
Theres a picture of the stock electronics above, I looked at that to get the colors.
I can see on the original humbucker the red and white are taped off, while the green goes to the switch and a black to ground on the back of the volume pot. (side note: its ironic that duncan designed pickups do not follow Seymour Duncan wiring colors)

The red and white are the finish for the north and south coils. They need to remain connected, and they need to go to the same pole on the DPDT switch - one of the middle poles, which is the common.
When the push / pull is down poles B and C are connected on one side and E and F on the other.
When its pulled up B will connect with whats on A, and E will connect with whats on D.
The two halves are independent.

In my picture the red and white are on E and with the pot in down position connected with whats on F.
Nothing is on F, so its just like before. However, when the knob is pulled up, that will connect the pole E with D, and D is wired to ground. Yes, they'll both be grounded when its activated. Shorting out one of the coils, usually the north coil.

I don't really know or need to if its the inside or outside coil, and I don't need to know which coil the green wire is coming from. I just know the basics, if you get a '4 wire humbucker' theres usually 5 wires together in 3 ways:

1. one thats on its own and is the "hot".
2. two that are soldered together and taped off which are the series link.
3. the ground wire, which usually also has a bare wire soldered to it.

So regardless of wiring colors, I stick the one together with the bare to the ground.
The one on its own to the output (volume pot or switch depending on configuration).
and the two that are stuck together and taped off I leave alone, unless I want to coil split, then I will attach them to a switch to toggle them to a ground connection.

If I install a humbucker and its out of phase with other pickups and I want to reverse it, I just swap the "hot" and the "ground" but I always leave the bare wire to ground.

Hope that makes sense, I wrote this in a hurry before heading to work so please excuse any typos.

I had that all figured out after analyzing your diagram of the push/pull, that when the red and white are grounded it will complete the circuit for the green coil and ground out the black coil, but we still don't know which of the red and white wires go to the green coil and which to the black coil without measuring them with an ohmmeter, and we don't know which coil will be grounded and which one will be active still, unless we do the tap test on the poles when plugged into an amp with the switch activated.

 

[Diavolo]

An educated guess would tell me the white is the finish for the north coil.
But really it doesn't matter in this application.
It's going to be coil split, not series / parallel.

Puedo ver en el humbucker original que el roj

Thank you very much for answering. They are helping me a lot.

Currently I have the red and white wires soldered on the push/pull switch on the middle pin.

On the lower pins, a wire that goes to ground.

I attach a photo. However, I never split the hambucker, something must be missing.

The push/pull button potentiometer works correctly, since it was only necessary to copy the old cables from the old potentiometer to the new Push/Pull potentiometer.

I haven't made any progress on this one for a couple of days. If you need more photos, just ask.

Thanks again for the help.

Sorry but no, the color are different.

 

[Diavolo]

You have a wire, but maybe it's not going to good ground source.
I can't see if that pot is grounded.

Look at my diagram where I drew a 1.

Here you can see it more clearly... this is in this moment my push/pull

 

[Diavolo]

Post A doesn't need to be connected to D.

Is the body of the potentiometer grounded to the next one?

One of the "grounds" you have isn't actually grounded.

Ground the coil split wire onto the tab on the dpdt portion of the potentiometer how I originally indicated in my diagram.

And a video of my Push/Pull...

I have to begin my shift at work.
I will check back later.

I understand you, while I will continue to review this. Thank you for all of your help!

 

[Atras del Mostrad]

Post A doesn't need to be connected to D.

O.k. I saw this connection in case I put a hot rail on the neck in the future

Is the body of the potentiometer grounded to the next one?

I think that "yes", I think that it's de black wire (you can see this in the video)

One of the "grounds" you have isn't actually grounded.

Sorry by mi English. I don't understand this very well

Ground the coil split wire onto the tab on the dpdt portion of the potentiometer how I originally indicated in my diagram.

you want to say that in your diagram, I must connect the option D with 1. ????
