There is a little shematic, wiring diagram whatever of what I want to acheive with the 5 way switch,

Fine for me.

Hmm ok, thanks for what youve given so far. Its nice to know its at least possible. How do you seperate the leads or whatever? Thanks.

Thanks for replying, I know how to wire the stuff after I get into the pickup, I just dont know what to do inside the pickup. Im doing it to a gibson '57 if that helps. I dont know what wires to change once I take off the pickup cover. For the tone slider, this is what I am trying to do: I want to rewire the strat like this: Push pull pot for bridge pickup ---Volume, selects deselects pickup(pull to select) Push pull pot for middle pickup ---Volume, selects deselects pickup(pull to select) Push pull pot for neck pickup---Volume, selects deselects pickup(pull to select) Basically you will be able to control the volume and turn the pickups on and off individually. Then though I have no tone control because I will have used the hole where the tone pot usually is. Instead of having a nonfunctional slot where the pickup selector usually goes, I want to have a slider that controls the tone. So if you put the old pickup selector in position one, it will set the tone to 10 Put it in position two it will set the tone to 8 And so on.... Understand a little better now? Thanks again.

Hey, I have two questions for you guys. First of all, does anybody have any good tutorials for coil splitting? I cant find any good ones on the internet. And another one, how would you make the 5 way switch on a strat type guitar control the tone. I know you could make it control the volume by just adding different resistors to the settings, but how would you make it so the switch controls tone? Thanks for helping. Peace
