Blender Pot
Simply Powerful.
$12
The Fralin Blender Pot gives you the ability to blend your Neck and Bridge Pickups, as well as get all 3 on single-coil guitars. This is a great product for those who love to “tinker” with wiring, like Lindy! It takes the place of your Tone Pot and connects directly to the guitar’s switch. Turning the pot blends in pickups – if you’re on the Bridge, it will blend in the Neck, and vice versa. It’s, simple, affordable, and powerful!
Available! Estimated Lead Time: 2-3 Days

Features
One of our favorite and most powerful mods, the Fralin Blender Pot is an easy way to blend your Neck and Bridge pickups to achieve new tones. Achieve Telecaster tones on a Fender Strat by blending the Neck and Bridge together. Blend all 3 pickups together by choosing either position 2 or 4 and playing with the pot. It installs easily by replacing your tone pot 2 (closest to output jack).
With this mod, you can get seven tones out of a Strat – it’s a game changing modification you can perform in 15 minutes.
You can also use this mod to gradually tap a humbucker, and more. Check out our Wiring Diagrams page for some useful modifications, or just search “Blender Pot” in the search bar for a wide range of ideas you can use, today.
This version only works on Strat and Tele installations. It features a 1/4″ bushing, suitable for pickguard and control plate installations only. For Archtop / Les Paul installations, check out our Push-Pull Version.
How The Blender Pot Works
It’s a very simple operation:
- With the Blender Pot on “10”, Select your Bridge pickup.
- Turning the pot to “0” gradually blends in your Neck pickup.
- Select the Neck Pickup, and repeat the process.
- Have fun finding tones that you can use!

So easy to set up instead of the broadcaster/double Esquire blend wiring! Make sure your pickups are the correct polarity / wind direction for phase and you are golden.

Unlike most strat players I play in the bridge pickup most of the time. My guitar is on the dark side tonally and I play a surf style so it works for me. Although I mostly use my strat at gigs, for recordings I also use a jazzmaster in the middle position with both pickups on. Just installed the blender pot and I can finally make those jazzmaster songs work on a strat live! Couldn’t be happier, what a great new sound out of a guitar I’ve been gigging with for 14 years. If you’re looking to get those tele or jazzmaster middle position sounds the blender is a no-brainer. Works and sounds far better than I expected, thanks Lindy!

Your blender pot is a quick and easy mod on all my customers Strats. Adding the 2 extra pickup possibilities is an eye opener for all Strat players especially. Homerun!! Great quality part as well!!

The blender pot is a great mod for my Strats. I can retain the character of the bridge pickup but smooth the bite a bit by blending in a little of the neck pickup. Likewise, I can brighten up the neck pickup by adding a little bridge. And having both pickups on full adds another cool tone. It’s an easy mod to wire, so it’s a no brainer.
-
The ultimate strat wiring mod! I’ve tried 10-way and 7-way switches, and this is the one for me. Being able to dial in the amount of blend is really practical (as opposed to being all or nothing like other setups).

I’ll never be without it ever again! It’s like having more than one guitar in your hands! I bought a blender for every strat in my collection!
