Daniel Schmolze Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've got two 4-wire humbuckers and this switch and I'd like to wire them up with one volume and one tone pot as follows: 1 = neck only 2 = bridge only 3 = both in parallel 4 = both in series 5 = both coil-tapped in parallel 6 = both coil-tapped in series Anyone have any ideas as to how to go about this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvs Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Diagram with the essentials. For the splitted pickup combinations I took the ime better sounding ones. Positions 1 to 4 are humbucking. It might be a good idea to make 5 and 6 humbucking too, by mounting the neck humbucker with the screw pole pieces towards the bridge. (Normally it's bridge screw pole pieces => bridge and neck screw pole pieces => neck. And assuming both pickups are built equal polarity-wise.)

Daniel Schmolze Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 That seems to work, but positions 1-4 are abnormally low output compared to 5 and 6. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Schmolze Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Nevermind, I was just misinterpreting the color codes on my GFS pickups (I think I had them wired out of phase). They're the same as Seymour Duncun's colors, for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
