  1. Alright wonderful! Thanks Swede-man! Yeah, as i had mentioned previously, i wanted to set it up series/parallel. I understand all about the wiring of the p/u's and the differences of SC and HB, since i work on electrical motors, i get all of that. The issue i DO have is in the scheme of things regarding how and why the wires are connected to certain tabs on the pots and switch. As the field i work in, i have to understand every little bit of knowledge there is to know in how each piece works internally, rather then just saying "...that's just the way it is" in explaining why it's wired up that way. I am continually trying to study and research it until i'm able to be in the other side of a discussion like this. I'll be trying that set up you diagrammed. Thanks again
  2. I thank all of you for helping me. I have great amout of graditude for that. Now Swedish, im sure you can understand my frustration considering i had been working very hard all day at my job and spent all night trying to wire up this thing. And yes, i did PLENTY of studying up on what i should do. Unfortunately, i don't have 12 hrs in the day to keep looking up online every little tiny piece of information and try to merge it all together into one simple diagram for me to follow. And even while i do try to put all pieces together, there are never explanations as to why the wires go where they are and which ones i should move around to tie in all the pieces of that puzzle. Know what i mean? You're chatting with some one who doesn't know much about wiring but needs to get things done quickly. From what i've seen is that people DO understand my frustration and know that i'm Really not going to go postal on anyone , its just a way of expressing my aggrivation. I Have to thank you for your help in all of this- its certainly stretching my mind quite a bit. What i would like from the HB is to have it in standard form hooked up to the p/p pot. With the pot pulled up, switching the HB to single coil. Now what i'm figuring is that since i only want that p/u to have that option- is to have the pot in a tone position. Am I right to assume this? Again, i have NO idea how all the wiring works in a guitar. I've been playing for about 15 years now but never completely understood the details of a pot, switch, p/u- why grounds are connected in one place and hot wires are connected to other spots. If theres any website that can explain all of this, i would love to study up on it; then i wouldn't have to continually ask for assistance in it. You guys ARE awesome! That's why i decided to come on this post and get help.
  3. yeah i actually went on that website not long after posting this. The problem is that they have Every diagram available, accept the one i need. They have a Strat Almost for what i need, but not quite. It's 2 SC & 1 HB p/u, volume, 2 tones & 5--way selector. You know, a strat setup. I'm actually building it from scratch so nothing has been previously connected. The other thing is that the HB has 4 wires to it. And since im looking to wire it up Series/Parallel, i would need to use all 4 rather then connecting the white/black wires together. This complete setup i can't find anywhere and it's beginning to bug me Thanks for the feedback tho.
  4. I have lost all patience in trying to find a diagram or someone who knows what they're doing in wiring up a H/B p/u to a vol. p/p pot. Most diagrams dont have what i need and whenever i ask someone, they talk nonsense! If you know what your doing, help me before i lose my mind. It's a 5 way selector switch with the tabs on 2 sides (not all in a row) and a dimarzo humbucker p/u in the bridge position. i want to wire it so that whether pushed up or down, the p/p pot will select it as a bucker or as a single coil. Can you give me a hand before i go postal on people? thanks.
