Sorry its called a blow switch, once switched it activates all 3 pickups at one time but hasnt worked for years, its a common fault with these guitars apparently so looking for alternative wiring ideas. Was possibly thinkiny of a kill switch bit would be nice to hear any other ideas also

I'm looking to upgrade my Dan electro dc3, the boost switch is faulty and will need replacing or taking out the circuit and replaced with a new tone pot ??? Also does anyone have any information on the aluminium nut for the dc3? Are there aftermarket replacements ? Or is it better to keep that the same as It could affect the tone of the guitar ? Also are there any alternatives to the bridge? Setting the intonation is a pain as the screw to change the saddles is under a string And finally the beck strap peg, I want to move it as it's in the most awkward position possible, has anyone done this? If so how did it go and was it a success. Any help anyone could give me would be great thanks Chris

I forgot to ask, do you have any recommendations for helping hands for a solder? I was using the one from rolson with the magnifying glass and 2 clips but it's not the best, any recommendations?

Thanks, I disconnected the volume pot and changed it out from a no load to a normal 250k potentiometer to see if there was an issue with it. Once replaced I was getting some feedback from the pickups so I think thay was part of the problem. There was a problem though, when I replaced the pick guard all sound cut off, after a lot of messing about I realised the 5 way switch was shorting off the cavity shielding I installed, but of electrical tape and the guitsr works perfect. Thanks for the advice on the soldering, I dont like the gun I have and I'll upgrade soon, this is just a trial run so to speak to get my head around all the electronica etc, thanks for the help

I am replacing the pick ups that came with the squier over 20 years ago to Seymour Duncan California 50's. I bought new fender split shaft 250k no load pots and also 3 fender 250k solid shafts by mistake. I replaced the pick ups and wired the guitar according to the diagram and no sound is heard through the amp when contact with the pick ups is made. I followed instruction to take the hot wire from a pick up and touch it to the output Jack and you're getting around from the pick up, the same goes for the other 2, not really sure where I'm going wrong as this is my first time doing something like this. I have included some pictures and hopefully someone can help me out thanks
