  • H-S-H Wiring help

    Need help on a wiring mod ive been stuck on. im trying to get my h-s-h wired in this manner

    1.Bridge Hum
    2.Middle Single Coil
    3.Neck and Bridge Hum
    4. Neck and Bridge Outer coil split (Like David Gilmours Strat)
    5. Neck Hum.

    How would i go about this with a 5 way super switch like this?


    Any help would be appreciated

    EDIT: I forgot to mention this is being on a steve morse y2d ernie ball music man if that helps out

      I've pretty much looked everywhere and I can't seem to find this particular wiring schematic on the web unless I'm missing something

        Your position 4 is probably going to take some custom wiring, you should be able to do it with that swtich, but I'm at work right now and can't really take the time to figure it out. First question is are those in series or parallel? Sorry, I'm not an expert on DG's strat.

          I have this as a reference https://www.stratcat.biz/black_strat_project.shtml

          I'm just getting rid of the mini toggle he has and using the 5 way super switch in its place to do it to my steve morse y2d music man

          I believe it's in series tho I'm not quite sure

            I think he would just need to connect the middle pickup where one of the split coils (bridge for example) would be and skip the one from the other pickup just for that position 2.
            Who took my guitar?

              I would need someone to draw it out though so I can visualize it better

                This is actually pretty simple, but I'm working on some family business on my non-graphics computer right now. If no one else gets to this, I'll draw it up later this evening or tomorrow.

                  Did this quik-'n-dirty on my laptop just to give you an idea how I'd do this.

                      If you want #4 to be hum-cancelling, wouldn't a magnet need to be flipped?

                        Inner coils parallel usually sounds more Stratlike than outer coils.
                        .

                          So with the diagram that artie posted I wouldn't have an issue with any hum?

                            A magnet would have to be flipped to have either inner or outer coils in parallel, in phase, and hum-cancelling.

                              Exactly. That's why I did that real quick. However, even easier than a mag flip, on the far left lugs, don't connect the top left lug to "output". Instead, simply connect it to ground. That will give you bridge stud with neck screw. That will be hum cancelling, and probably sound better too. Tomorrow, I'll post the modification, but it's pretty simple.
