verhoevenc Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 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?

verhoevenc Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I just looked at stewmac's guide on doing that... and I'm still lost? any iea how to go about doing it? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 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. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
