westhemann Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I need a wiring diagram for two split coil humbuckers into a one volume,one tone setup with a mini switch for the coil splitting,and a 3 way toggle for the pickup selector,and I can't find it at the usual spots.. any help?

anderekel Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) [url="http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/WD2HH3L11_01 It's got a lever switch, but you can switch it out with a toggle easily. Hope it helps. Nevermind, not paying enough attention, still trying to find one. Ok, it's not perfect lines, but that'll do what you want. North coil for the neck, south coil for the bridge.

westhemann Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 No,unfortunately my expertise in wiring is directly dependant on an exact diagram,and mine has a two way mini toggle,not push,pull switches...though the lever switch is not an issue... I could rewire it to push/pull switches...but I would rather just find the issue and just fix it. My volume and tone knobs are not working at all.

westhemann Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 To make it worse,these are not american style switches..the toggle and the mini switch are japanese style with little prongs sticking out of a sealed box onthe back..so i can't make out which prong does what. i may end up having to forget about the coil splitting just to get it working right,and order all of the parts to redo it in a way I am more familiar with. I did email ESP,but I don't hold much hope of a proper response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Just to make sure you see it, I made it into a diagram with regular pots and a mini toggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Oh,cool...thanks man...that is great. One very stupid question though..."north" and "south"..."start" and "finish"..i don't get that terminology...Is that the north and south coil?and "start" refers to hot and "finish" for ground? So "north start" would be the north coil's hot lead,etc..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So "north start" would be the north coil's hot lead,etc..? Yeah. North start would be the hot lead and south end would be the other lead on a wire humbucker. So, for instance, on a seymour duncan pickup: North Start-Black North End-White South Start-Red South End-Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ah yes..got it... Turns out when the ESP custom shop wired tis guitar,they were so concerned about making the control cavity look neat that they twisted the cap on the tone pot to bend it out of the way and severed the connection...one drop of solder and all is well. What is strange though is that the mini sw is not a coil split...it seems to be some sort of bypass...if you turn it on it rerouts the pickups straight to the input jack I think....they call it a "direct" switch...seems fruitless to me,but whatever.
