Youd have to check out the Jimmy Page version - which uses all push-pulls on the pots. Has anyone got a correctly drawn schematic of one? (meaning a circuit diagram so you can see how it works, rather than a wiring diagram with a picture of the switches). The one on the Gibson site seems poorly drawn (or scanned), with several missing wires! Also, do you want to do all the options with the push-pull pots (rather than rotary, lever or toggles)? - which probably limit the switches to DPDT, I assume from your post that that is the case.

Pete, No problem, here is what I was thinking of for the switch wiring. a 3P4T is a standard type you can buy (even here in Aus) I haven't shown volume and tone pots, those could be just standard types after the output Im not familiar with the PRS switch you mention. If you want to have just a high cut cap, it could be on a mini-toggle switch across the output. I agree with the others though, it wouldnt really sound like a neck pickup. I hope thats of interest cheers John (Sydney, NSW)

I think Id use a 3 pole 4 way rotary switch to get series in-phase, parallel in-phase, single coil and series out-of phase. That would be a full range of tones, in order from fullest to thinnest. Can post a diagram if you are interested regards John

How many possible guitar circuits are there? That is question that may never be answered, but there is definately at least 651!. because that is the number currently available on this amazing Japanese site!: http://www.geocities.jp/dgb_studio/index_e.htm 33 of them are HSH best regards John

Guitar looks great, but I reckon you should change those switches. I could see those momentary on 'preview' positions driving you nuts over time. If you want simple, just an off/on switch wired as described above will do it. If however, you can get proper on-off-on switches (that stay where you put them!), then you have a nice option of, for each pickup: normal phase, off, reverse phase. This would give you lots more sound options in combination, as well as let you optimise the hum cancellation between pickups. Im sure theres a diagram on Seyour Duncan, but I'll post one if you need it. Example:, if your middle pup is reverse wound as on a normal Strat, then neck/middle and middle/bridge combos are in phase and hum cancelling. Neck/bridge however is hum cancelling if revese phased, giving you a very different sound with low hum. Mini toggles usually all fit in the same 1/4" hole, so no change to your bodywork if you change the switches.
