Our Souls inc. Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 O.K. , I'm wiring up a "middle position pickup" that I made out of 3 single coils. I managed to hook it up so I have my choice of 7.5 , 15.5 or 23.6 ohms . The 4 wire conductor is set up like this : Black and bare = ground / White lead = 7.5 /green lead = 15.5/ and the red lead = 23.6 . I plan on hooking it up to a normal 5 way switch . Anyone ever done this ? I have no idea ~ A: what I'm doing B: what it's going to sound like C: Why the heck I did it 4: If I'll do it again. Any thoughts ? FWIW - Its the 3 SC's from a Squier strat. I'll post a diagram of how I hooked it up in a bit....... Edit: Thar she blows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Pa Ti Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 wiring sounds and looks confusing as hell, you could try (if you have room) 3 on/off switches in series, this would make it so u could go 7/15/24 in any combination, just an idea as i cant imagine how a 5way would wire up to those pups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 you know strats were originally wired with 3-way switches rather than 5. by relocating the ground wires to the hot of the previous pickup you get this, all on one side of a normal 3-way switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
