Wiring question?

[Rockstar216]

Ok here's what i'm trying to do. I have a H-S-H set up with a master vol and master tone thats a Push/Push pot that will be wired to function as a normal tone pot and a LCR filter(Q-filter).

My question pertains to the pup selection.
I want to be able to choose
1.)Neck hum series
2.)Neck hum parallel
3.)Single
4.)Bridge parallel
5.)Bridge hum series

Do I need a 5way super switch for this or will my regular 5way do? Also what diagram would I use?

Re: Wiring question?

You might be able to use a push/pull pot to swap between series and parallel (think S1 switch). I'm not sure if you'd need one for each pickup (neck and bridge). Someone else may be able to tell you exactly how to wire it. Should work with a standard 5-way. Unless you're set on being able to do it all with the switch.

I did find this diagram that shows how to wire a dpdt swtich for series/parallel/split: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...?schematic=ssp

Here's a diagram for H/S/H with 1 vol, 1 tone and a push/pull. Like I said though, someone will have to tell you how to wire it for series/parallel. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...1t_5w_pushpull

Re: Wiring question?

The Push pot already serves a function so I need the switching to happen on the 5way switch.

Make life easier on yourself, and those of us who will draw the diagram. Get a Superswitch.

Re: Wiring question?

Thanks ill look around for one this week. Now I just need to find a Diagram.

Re: Wiring question?

Ok another question.

If I wanted to set up the switch for
1.)Neck hum
2.)Neck hum outer coil/middle Noiseless single in parallel
3.)Middle noiseless single
4.)bridge hum outer coil/middle noiseless single in parallel
5.)bridge hum

is that possible? I know the notch positions won't quack or sound exactly like a SSS strat would but I just want to keep the 2 and 4 positions hum free.

Re: Wiring question?

Yup. Very do-able. I've got several irons-in-the-fire right now, but I can get on this soon, if no one beats me to it.

I would be very grateful if you did.

Their's more to the wiring though. All in all i'm aiming for is a master vol, a master tone that is also wired as a Q-filter with a push push pot. The only other thing would be the wiring for the switch and thats it. The pickups in question are all from Bill and Becky Lawrence. L90/l298M/l500L. Not sure how many wires come on each pup but I should have them sometime this week along with a 5way super switch.


Color Code for Wilde and Keystone Pickups

Single Coil Size for Strat

Neck -- White Wire Hot/Black Wire Ground
Middle -- Green Wire Hot/Black Wire Ground

Bridge -- Red Wire Hot/Black Wire Ground

All Pickups with White/Black/Blue Wires

White Wire -- Hot

Black/ Blue Wires -- Ground


All Pickups with White/Black/Red/Green/Blue Wires

White Wire -- Hot

Black/Blue Wires -- Ground

Red/Green Wires -- Twist together, insulate with shrink wrap or electrical tape for humbucking OR solder to either a push/pull or on/off switch for split coil.


This is the diagram for wiring the Q-filter from Bill Lawrence's website

Re: Wiring question?

Not a problem. I just wired up an axe for a friend not too long ago with almost this exact configuration. The only difference was, he wanted both a tone control and the Q-filter. (And, both pups were Bill Lawrence.)

Re: Wiring question?

If I had a third pot I most likely would of did the same thing. How did he like the pups and sounds?

Re: Wiring question?

Can't say just yet. I had the whole job done when he decided to get the body refinished. We took everything out again. The body still hasn't come back yet.

Re: Wiring question?

My pups should be here later on in the week. Just wanted to know if you are still able to draw out the diagram?
