mu_sound Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hey there, I am trying to sort out what kind of wiring I am going to employ in my current build. The guitar is a semi-hollow body (maple top & back, mahogany sides) I got myself a LR Baggs fixed (non-tremolo) piezo-electic bridge. I also have 2 Seymour Duncam Jazz pickups. I was thinking about a switching arrangement that gives me the PRS options I have in my last build. however, I read on SD's website, that I have to take apart one of my pickups and revese th bar magnet in it. That sounded like a definite detour...so I was thinking instead of using an arrangement like this... http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem...v_1t_3w_2pp.pdf Only thing is I am not sure what the two push-pulls will do in this arrangement. I am ssuming I will get bridge hum, neck hum, & bridge/neck (parallel) with the 3 position switch. will the push pulls split coils or blend or what? sorry for the dumb question. I figured I'd sort out the magnetics first and then deal with the piezo/magnetics options. I might end up making some choices by the amount of real estate I have inside the cavitiy. I may not have room for a push pull, maybe Iam limited to mini-switches galore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff B Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 The 2 push / pulls split each humbucker. 1 for each pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu_sound Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Thanks Jeff, So if I were to draw a logic diagram for this: I'd get 3 way Switch Pos. | Push/pull vol | push pull tone | left...............................push................push .............Full Neck humbucker center .........................push..................push ............Neck/Bridge parallel right.............................push ................push ...............full bridge humbucker left...............................pull ................push ............red-white coil neck pickup center..........................pull ................push ........... red white coil /full bridge in parallel right ............................pull............... push .............full bridge again? left................................pull.................pull .............. red-white coil neck PU center ...........................pull................ pull............... both pickups red white coils in parallel right..............................pull ................pull ............. red white coil bridge PU And the whole time the volume and tone pots stay Volume and Tone is that about right?

mu_sound Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Bump! Ok so I don't think I would have room in my hollowed cavity for a push-pull pot. I saw a pic in Newark and they are huge!, Anyway I was wondering if I used a DPDT On-OFF-On mini-switch as a substitute for the push-pull pot, wired exactly as shown in the SD link in the original post. Would I get the same functionality? Did I get the functions even remotely close? Anyone? ...Anyone?.... Ferris.....Ferris Beuhler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu_sound Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 while I'm at all this question asking, why use two pus pulls at all why not do it the way shown here: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem...v_1t_3w_1pp.pdf is it different? and why are there two empty contacts? If I use a 3 way switch its a bit different than a push pull since it will have 3 positions. So why does the push pull pot have 6 contacts anyway? I havent been able to find a schematic for a push pull pot. Silly isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
