GuitarCowboy Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm wiring up a strat type guitar that a friend built and have run into a wiring configuration that I can't find a diagram for. I thought I could just build from my working knowledge, but I apparently can't. The build is 2 pickups: a single coil in the neck and a splittable humbucker in the bridge. There are two pots: a normal volume pot, and a push pull tone pot. He wants the tone to split the humbucker when it's pulled out. So far all I've managed to do is turn the tone pot into a second master volume, and the push pull doesn't seem to do anything. Help would be greatly appreciated, especially in the form of a diagram. Thanks in advance, Cowboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 That should get you close. Gotcha's: The push/pull switch component is shown on the volume pot, but it should just be a simple case of moving this "block" to the back of the tone pot. Wiring colours shown on the humbucker are for a Seymour Duncan pickup. If using a pickup with a different wiring standard you'll have to adapt accordingly. The diagram assumes you're installing it in a Telecaster using the traditional Tele-style 3-way switch. If you're using a different kind of pickup selector (Gibson toggle, mini toggle, rotary switch etc) there will be some wiring transposition involved.
