Fanatic1 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 The configuration its. H S S and 5 way selector, one volume and one tone. The trouble here its how can i use that combination?. Gibson Humbucker, its from a classic Les Paul, with only two wires, it has like 13.7k. Strato, for middle its a custom pickup with 2 cables too, and its 7.8 k. And the Duncan Performer, its a humbucker in single with 15.2 k and 5 cables. Can i wire that with a 5 posicion switch? and one tone or its impossible?

Paul Marossy Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Quite possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic1 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Really? can you give me some tips Paul? Maybe its, neck- duncan, neck and middle, (that is possible because of the 5 cables) middle, middle and??? all the humbukcer? that will be a very agressive posicion right? maybe not so good for the sound. and the humbucker. maybe can i cancell the middle humb posicion right? Or use a 3 ways selector and a switch for the duncan and middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marossy Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I have an Ibanez that is wired up exactly the same way. I have the stock two wire neck humbucker, stock single coil in the middle and a DiMarzio FRED on the bridge which has 5 wires. There are lots of options with a 5 wire humbucker in terms of how it can be wired - parallel, humbucker, coil tapped, etc. Seymour Duncan's website should have info on that model as well as generic wiring diagrams. Most of how the pickups are wired depends on how you wire the pickup selector switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic1 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks but Fender and Gibson uses a different wire ground, im a little confuse, because i need to change the phase? or just wire different?
