  1. Hey, that's not a bad idea. Maybe for my next project...
  2. Well, there are a few two-pickup combination tones that are hard to make out (neck in series + bridge in parallel, etc.), but I was really surprised at how many distinct options I have. When only one HB is selected, or when both HBs are on the same setting, the tonal differences are very clear. Since I had to change the wiring, I haven't tallied the total number of tones. The HBs run parallel to each other (I could easily replace the volume pot with a push/pull pot to toggle between HBs in series/parallel). I can select neck HB, neck + bridge HBs, or bridge HB. Each HB has its own tone control and the following settings: 1) Coils in series in-phase 2) Coils in series out-of-phase 3) Coils in parallel in-phase 4) Coils in parallel out-of-phase 5) Coil cut Turns out my camera lens is still alive; only the display is broken, so I can still set up pics with the viewfinder. Here's a stock photo of what the guitar looked like before: And here is the after: The wiring nightmare:
  3. Finally finished! I had to change the circuit around as I had made a fatal flaw in the phasing setup. I had to ditch the "toggle between humbuckers in series/parallel" function and make both SW3 and SW4 "in/out of phase" push/pull for the neck and bridge humbucker, respectively. I'll post an updated, tested schematic shortly. I can actually hear significant tonal differences even with wicked metal distortion. And the guitar looks great, but seeing how I literally just broke my digital camera (), pics will have to wait.
  4. Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum (and wiring mods, but I think I'm starting to get it) and I was hoping someone could take a look at this wiring scheme: It's a modification of this 21-sound scheme for 2 Humbuckers; I added a second pot for individual HB tone control and a switch to toggle the HBs in/out of phase (SW4), which should bring the number of possible combinations to 42. Did I get the phasing scheme right? I also plan to merge the tone pots with SW3 & SW4 using push/pull DPDT switches (SW3 push = HBs in parallel; SW4 push = HBs in phase). Anything I should know before I do that? The HBs are Seymour Duncan Invaders on a lower-end Epiphone SG (other mods: scalloped frets 17-22, removed pickguard, deeper cutaway, roller nut & bridge, Bigsby B500 vibrato, Grover locking tuners). Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
