Hi folks. I have an hss strat (regular knob pattern). Gonna change the pups with a trembucker and quarterpounds. I have 2 "on-on two way mini switches". I wanna use 1 of them for gilmour mod and the other for all pups split/tapped. What should be the wiring diagram for a build like this? Thanks for the help. Cheers.

For splitting all 3 pickups, unfortunately your 2nd mini switch is insufficient, it doesn't have enough poles. You need a switch w minimally 3 poles, one for each pickup. And I don't know of any 3 pole, 2 way mini-switch on the market, so you will need a 4 pole, 2 way switch like this.

Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

The OP Justice requested "all pups split/tapped" and he states that his singlecoils are SD Quarterpounders. The hot version of the Quarterpounder pup has a coil tap option. I took Justice's comments at face value, but maybe confirmation from Justice about exactly which Quarterpound version he has would be helpful.Originally Posted by IanBallard
