Let's install a FAT-O-Caster!


The guitar: an MIM Fender Squier Series Strat, a thrasher purpose-bought to do this demo...
We'll be installing a FAT-O-Caster (c) rotary switch to give this little guy TEN tones!


STEP #1: Remove the knob from the middle tone control


STEP #2: Take off the pickguard


STEP #3: Remove the middle tone control and wire the lower pot as a MASTER TONE


STEP #4: Mount up the FAT-O-Caster (c)


STEP #5: Solder the leads from the FAT-O to the 5-way and ground as per the instructions (differs by switch models)


STEP #6: Clip the Bridge and Middle pups grounds from the vol pot
and solder them to the center lugs on the FAT-O (differs by switch models)


STEP #7: Remount the pickguard on the guitar


STEP #8: Put the knob from the tone control on the FAT-O's shaft


STEP #9: Plug and Play, Baby!
