  • Wiring Diagram Help

    Okay so I am trying to create a pretty odd wiring setup, I need some help with creating a diagram to work with I am going to be wiring my guitar with a standard pickup switch, a volume and tone thats where normal finishes I also am going to be installing a on/on switch coil tap and a button killswitch is there anyone who could lay this out for me. Both of my pickups have four conductor wiring so that isn't a problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Other than the kill switch, that sounds like this diagram:


    For the kill switch, instead of sending the wire from the master volume to the output, you would want to add in this switch:


    That should do it.

      I presume you mean coil split not "coil tap" since you say both of your pups have 4 conductor wiring. And by "standard pickup switch" I assume you are referring to a Les Paul type toggle.

      This diagram shows the coil split:



      It shows a push/pull vol pot but can be a separate toggle switch wired just the same. The kill switch (a single pole on/off?, or two pole which shorts the output to ground?) can be added to the "hot" wire leading to the output jack.

        Thanks guys much appreciated these should seriously help out and my apologies for calling it a coil tap, its sort of a home town slang thing.
