Hi, thanks for your responses. I've looked at the diagram lovekraft supplied but I'm at a loss as to where to begin at it. I'm wondering is it anyway possible to wire this guitar using one PA-2 switch, or do I need two? I don't want to lose any sound quality on either neck and I've heard this could happen to the passives if I use the EMGs. I would prefere to put both necks through the one set of pots. I want to be able to play both necks at once, so I will need a 3-way switch for that -I've never heard of a dual switch (double sets of poles), you also suggested using two minis for the neck selection, how do both the dual switch and the minis work? Is it possible to use a normal 3-way switch instead? Ideally, I'd like the simplist solution possible, can I wire the EMGs to the neck selector, wire the pa-2 to the passives, passives to the neck selector, then to the pickup selector, then through the 4 25K EMG pots, and through the EMG output jack? Perhaps having a pickup selector for each neck would be easier? Or maby a second set of pots for the passives? As you can see I'm totally lost as to what to do here, Thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm currently building a 12/6 string doubleneck guitar but I've run into a problem when wiring. I want to put a Gibson '57 and Gibson '57 Plus in the twelve string, (these are passive humbuckers). And I want to put an EMG 81 and EMG 85 in the six string (Active humbuckers). I also want to fit an EMG PA-2 pre-amp booster to the EMGS. I have 2 volume and 2 tone pots for the Gibsons (this is an assembled set with a 3-way selector switch and output jack), and 2 volume and 2 tone pots for the EMGs (these came with the EMGs). I have 2 3-way selector switches. I would like to have both necks using the same pickup selector switch, and a 3-way selector switch to choose which necks to play. I've found finding a diagram which uses both active and passive pickups impossible. I would appriciate any advice or help on this matter, Thanks.
