Wiring help needed for two HB guitar

[beaubrummels]

Look at the two red boxes. Red is shorted to "hot", and white is shorted to ground, on both pups. Both in parallel.

So by having both pickups always connected to the output, you're managing pickup selection through the other connections. That works.

A neck coil is hanging off the output for bridge-only, which I've read on here is an antennae or causes some noise for some. But it should work fine.

Correct.

Gimme a sec.

Hmm, if there's a way to combine bridge position 2 on top of neck position 4 here, I guess maybe. I'm having a hard time seeing it. But maybe...

So: Fig 1 is the basic schematic, so that you can see what I'm doing. In fig 2, you have the Superswitch out on your bench, where it's easy to get to. Just solder the six jumper wires on. The dark blue are just 4 vertical jumpers. The cyan is one jumper that connects 6 terminals. The purple jumper connects 6 more. Then add the black and green "flying leads", such that the black is long enough to reach to your volume pot, and the green will reach to a convenient ground.

Then, (fig 3) install the switch in the guitar and connect the pup wires, and your two flying leads. Make sense?

Anyone know if this is possible?

Correct.

You could put one pickup in parallel but not both.

You could put one pickup in parallel but not both. You need one set of lugs to select the bridge, one set of lugs to select the neck, the remaining two sets of lugs would be needed just to put one pickup in parallel.

Hi everyone,

I have a new CC and Jazz neck that I'd like to use for a 2 HB guitar. 1 tone, 1 volume, 5-way super switch.

I would like to get:

1) Bridge HB
2) Bridge HB in parallel
3) Bridge HB with Neck HB
4) Bridge HB with Neck HB in Parallel
5) Neck HB

Anyone know if this is possible?
