guitarist_wo Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 i have a 2 humbucker setup, 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 5 way switch. I would like the 5 way to be wired in the following way, but i'm not sure how to get it: Position 1: Bridge Position 2: OFF Position 3: Bridge and Neck Position 4: OFF Position 5: Neck i am using a regular fender style 5 way switch that has 4 leads on each left and right sides of the. do i need to jumper something to get both pickups on in Position 3 of the 5-way switch? ------------ i also still need some help on another setup with the H/S/H pickup configuration. i can't seem to find any schematic that has H/S/H, 1 tone, 1 volume, and a 5 way switch. The 5 way switch is an ESP one, i think, or at least it came off of an ESP guitar. it is weird though, and I can't seem to find anything on the setup of the 5 way. I would like this to be exactly like a Fender setup, where: Position 1: Bridge Humbucker Position 2: Bridge Humbucker/Middle Single Coil Position 3: Middle Single Coil Position 4: Neck Humbucker/Middle Single Coil Position 5: Neck Humbucker this 5 way switch leads are set up in a line going in a half circle from ground and then number 1 to 7. i'm not sure which lead on that goes with what switch position. as long as i can get it hooked up like that above, i would be happy. none of the humbuckers are coil splittable on either one of these setups. just a hot and a ground wire off the pickups. if you need a picture of the switches that i am using email me at guitarist_wo@hotmail.com and i can you send you them. any help would be cool. thanks.

Might not be, but sounds like it. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...28.html#details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarist_wo Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 yeah it look just like that, but it has 7 lugs and not 8. i think that stewmac megaswitch has 8 lugs plus the ground lug. this one i have has 7 lugs plus the ground and i can't find anything on it. if someone would help me out with these 2 setups, it would b appreciated greatly.

guitarist_wo Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 alright, i decided to switch the two 5 ways in the guitars, since i knew how to wire the 4 lugs-on-both-side switch with the 3 (H/S/H) pickup config. no i just need to figure out how to get the HH guitar wire to the other switch that has a ground and then lugs labeled 1-7 on it.

lovekraft Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 If you have a multimeter and 15 minutes, you can find out what any 5-way switch does - just set it to continuity (beep), and start switchin' and checkin', and write it all down. Once you've done that, the pattern should be obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
