Hello all (excuse me for my not good english).
I have a Fender Blacktop HH like this one in the link, and in the photo below:
I like the guitar in general but I don't like much the neck humbucker, which is too "muddy" and dark, while the bridge humbucker is ok, also the combinations of split coils in positions 2 and 4 seems to me too weak and dark, so I made up my mind to make some changes.
What I am going to do is to buy a new HSS pickguard, keep the original bridge humbucker which sounds ok for me, and add two noiseless pickups (SD or DiMarzio) in middle and neck positions for a more brighter tone.
I tried to find wiring diagrams on line but couldn't figure out a proper solution.
I don't want to make complicated split coils combinations, push-pull knobs, etc, I would like to have the 5 way switch to do this:
Position 5: Neck
Position 4: Neck+Middle
Position 3: Middle
Position 2: Middle+Bridge
Position 1: Bridge
About the knobs, I have now 1 volume and 2 tones (one for the neck and one for the bridge pickup), I would like to keep this functionality.
I did some wiring in the past but I am not an expert, so I am asking you here if you see any problem in my project or if you have any suggestion or advice please let me know.
Also if you know where I can find a clear wiring diagram I'll appreciate that a lot.
Thanks
