before i invest in a middle pickup, i would like to know more about splitting up my JB. I dont know much about splitting, i believe it is so u can have the humbucker work as a humbucker or a single coil. Could anyone please correct if i am wrong and please show me to a schematic that i need to use for my jb in the bridge, an empty slot in the middle, and a little 59 in the neck with 1 tone and 1 voulme and a 5 way switch? thanks

Re: How to split JB
You have the option of either series/split or series/parallel...The split tone shunts 1 coil off and gives you one coil output and tone...You get single coil hum also...
Parallel is still humbucking but with about 1/3 the output of your series humbucking tones..

Re: How to split JB
yeah, you'd need a push/pull pot or mini-toggle switch to be able to split the pickup ... you can replace either the volume or tone pot with a pot that has a push/pull operated switch on it (be sure the cavity depth can fit it)
good luck
