1 Humbucker, 1 P90... 5-way Swtich...

[verhoevenc]

Hi guys, I'm looking at putting in a humbucker in the bridge position (SD SH-5 Duncan Custom), and a SD Phat Cat (P90 in a humbucker sized casing) in the semi-hollow that I'm currently building. However, I wanted it to be set up like this:

1 vol., 1 tone, 5 way selector with the following choices:

position:

1- Humbucker (both coils)

2- Humbucker Coil Tapped

3- Humbucker coil tapped combined with P90

4- Humbucker (both coils) combined with P90

5- P90 by itself

I know it's kinda weird... but is it do-able? Or would I just be better off with a 3-way for positions (above) 1, 4, and 5, and then just using a push-pull pot to get positions 2 and 3 aswell?

It's relatively easy, but a little tricky. Decide which switch you want to use, and I'll whip you up a wiring diagram for it. You'll need at least two poles with 5 explicit throws (a Fender style 1, 1+2,2,2+3,3 switch won't cut it).

Any 5 way blade switch will work. Standard, or superswitch. I'm not picky as long as it gets the job done. So yeah, if you'll draw it up with any 5 way i'd be eternally grateful.

Superswitch it is!
