thejoeydcomplex Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Simple question, can't seem to find the right answer online. I'm trying to do a humbucker switch as such: The thing is that I have a 3 way pickup selector. I need to know what is the proper way to wire these. Should be pretty simple but I'm new to this so any help would be appreciated! Diagram made with DIY Layout Creator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Can't be done with that kind of switch unfortunately. You really need the specified switch shown in the first diagram (ie, an ON-OFF-ON configuration) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermikev Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 you could get similar functionality by wiring the coils in parallel... ie white/green/ground to ground... and then wire up black to one side, and red to other side of the 3 way, and the middle lug on three way "to hot controls". you'd get coil A vs BOTH COILS vs Coil B... just this would be in parallel vs series which would give a slightly less aggressive sound (think more "stratier"). hope that helps.
