Re: Wiring a H-S-H guitar w/ 2 coil split switches for inner/outer coils
This is great news, because the guy who does my wiring has a super switch that I can purchase from him. I just measured the cavity depth in the Carvin, and it should be able to accommodate either switch.
One question- you mentioned the Series-Parallel "In series" setting for the Middle Pickup being bypassed when the pickup selector switch is in Position 2 and 4. Just wondering- why would it have to be bypassed? My goal would be this (for example):
(All below with coil split off, "toggle switch 3" being Series/Parallel switch)
Position 2 (toggle switch 3 set to "Parallel"): Bridge Humbucker full, in Parallel with Middle rails; Middle rails in Parallel with itself
Position 2 (toggle switch 3 set to "Series"): Bridge Humbucker full, in Parallel with Middle rails; Middle rails in Series with itself
Position 4 (toggle switch 3 set to "Parallel"): Neck Humbucker full, in Parallel with Middle rails; Middle rails in Parallel with itself
Position 4 (toggle switch 3 set to "Series"): Neck Humbucker full, in Parallel with Middle rails; Middle rails in Series with itself
My understanding is that these all would be hum-cancelling. However, any of the above positions, I would assume, when the humbuckers are split, would not be hum-cancelling
I was anticipating putting the middle rails pickup in series with itself when active with another full humbucker, but in parallel with itself when active with a split humbucker, to try to match outputs a little closer.
Thanks for your patience with the descriptions from a novice-level electronics understanding!
