In this video we cover the Eldred Esquire cocked wah wiring mod - how to wire the Eldred Esquire setup from scratch.
The Eldred wiring mod is popular on Esquire guitars as it gives a little versatility from a single pickup guitar.
Esquire Eldred Mod Switch Controls:
Switch position #1. This rear position is the same as on a standard Esquire. The pickup goes through the volume control only, with the tone control bypassed for a hotter, louder lead sound with added highs.
Switch position #2. This middle position is also the same as on a standard Esquire, with the pickup going through both the volume and tone controls. It sounds a little warmer than position #1.
Switch position #3 In the front position of the Eldred Esquire wiring setup, the pickup goes through a single, small capacitor (0.0047uF) and the volume control, with the tone control once again bypassed. It removes the fixed treble roll-off network and replaces it with the 0.0047uF capacitor. This offers an extra dimension and more flexibility. Is is also known as the "cocked-wah" effect.
