They "used" to indicate what each position was on the diagrams and then changed them and that info is gone. It would be nice to add that back. I know I've brought that up before. And the script font can be a PITA to read sometimes. It's wiring diagram, not a NY Times Best-Selling Novel! Sheesh....LOL

If you call "all the way back" as position #1, then:
1. B
2. N/B
3. N
4. N stud coil in parallel with B screw coil
5. B screw coil

And to reinforce what Jeremy said, with a Superswitch, you can have anything, in any position.Last edited by ArtieToo; 08-14-2020, 07:19 AM.

Is there a way to make it with B and N at 1 and 5?

I don't think there is. A regular 5 way is pretty limited.Administrator of the SDUGF

I do also have a VLX91 that may be defective. I put a big X on the side of it from a wiring project 10 years ago. I will have to trace the contact to see if it works, but I'm guessing its broken.
That said, is it possible to wire a 3 way with something other than B/N in the middle? The 3way has the same terminals as the 5, but only 3 positions.Last edited by Top-L; 08-14-2020, 07:28 AM.

(Although seriously, what I dislike about a pp is that it make an audible click that cna resonate through the guitar. Audience could hear that.)

Artie’s is the best available.
Get a SuperSwitch, then you can do anything you want. I’ve mentally worked out that my own ideal 5 way is:
Bridge
Bridge Split/Neck Split
Bridge/Neck
Neck Split
Neck
It feels very similar to a standard 3 way with notch positions being like a Strat, brighter and quackier.

(You are too kind.)
I have my JB/Jazz Tele-Gib done:
Neck
Slutbucker (parallel, for Strat quack)
Slutbucker (normal series)
Bridge (parallel, for Tele-ish spank)
Bridge
(Slutbucker = Bridge stud coil with neck screw coil.)

If my VLX91 works (ibanez superswitch) I will translate it to your diagram.
