At the recommendation of a member here, I recently installed a Free-Way 10 way switch on my favourite Strat giving me lots of lovely series/parallel options. I’m very happy with the mod with 2 exceptions - There’s some noise when I’m flipping between pickups at volume, nothing that would bother a paying audience but enough to make me pull faces. Any ideas on how to tame the switch click? Also, I’m very close to getting the ‘fat Strat’ sound that I love with the 3 series options but I’ve lost just a little too much of the high end to be able to cut through the way I’m used to be able to do it with a Strat. Messing with amp/pedal eq’s gives me too much top end when I switch back to the regular 5 way and I can’t seem to find a compromise balance. No regrets doing the mod but it’s so close to what I’m after that it’s frustrating. I can’t drive because of health issues so being able to take a jack of all trades guitar to gigs is a must atm. Any advice?
