How To Wire A Double Neck Strat Guitar

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced guitarist, wiring a double neck Strat guitar can be a daunting task. If you’ve ever tried to wire a guitar on your own, you know that it takes time and patience to assemble the right components to achieve the desired sound. With a double neck Strat, though, there are even more pieces to worry about properly setting up.

You’ll need to decide which pickups to install, the type of bridge and tremolo system to use, and how to synchronize each neck with the other. Plus, there are various methods for mounting the two necks on the body - from having them separate with a single control plate to making them one piece and everything in between. But regardless of what route you take, the actual wiring process is still vital to get the most out of your double neck Strat.

Begin with the basics - determine the number of pickups needed and if they’ll be ran individually or in series/parallel. From there, you can start connecting the tone and volume pots to the pickups and bridge. Make sure to double check your connections and use high-quality shielding tape around exposed wires as needed. Keep in mind each neck will need its own set of controls, and before you know it you’ll be ready to rock with your double neck Strat!
