Hi all.
It's ben a while since I've posted anything but, I have a wiring job that I need help with. I have a super bright strat where a 78/SSL1/SSL1 combo is just not playing nice with. For that reason I'm going to go with a Custom Custom/Area 58/Area 58 configuration. Additionally I'm going to add a DPDT switch to replace tone 1. The tone will not be connected to the humbucker in position one(typically where there'd be a series humbucker) and the DPDT will be series/parallel for the bridge humbucker. From the DPDT there will be an auto split in position two for both the bridge humbucker and the middle position Area 58. Splitting the Area 58 means that I'll be hum free in all positions. I asked Dimarzio support for a wiring diagram for the Areas in an HSS configuration. The provided the first diagram - with the bridge humbucker Dimarzio color coded.
Using the Dimarzio wiring diagram I want to.
a. Add the DPDT switch to toggle series/parallel wiring in position 1
b. Add an auto split from the DPDT switch so in position two only one could of the humbucker is active
c. Auto split the middle Area for hum free performance in position 2
d. Have the tone control active in positions 2,3,4 and 5
- this is to pamper the singles more than anything
- no loading on the bridge in position 1
Otherwise, positions 3,4 and 5 are all to be as the Dimarzio diagram shows.
I think my wiring diagram should work (note that the coils are reversed on the humbucker for hum cancelation in position 2).
Is this right or am I off?
Thanks!!!
