  • 2 hums+ 5 switch= ???

    hey,

    Okay so i have to hotrails(4 conductor wires, each) and a 5 way selector switch + 1 tone and 1 volume.

    What combinations can i get with the 5 way selector? can the pickups be split with the 5 way?

    Here's a start. http://www.seymourduncan.com/website...y-w-split.html

    This shows just one way to do it. But there are others.

      When you say "5 way selector", do you mean a regular strat-style switch? If so, Artie's link is a fairly good approach.

      If you're willing to look at either a true 2-pole/5-way switch or a 4-pole/5-way switch, then there are lots of options. Here are two from GuitarElectronics:

      http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/WDUHH5L1101 positions 2 & 4 have split humbuckers, bridge & neck respectively.

      http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/WDUHH5L1102 position 2 is outer coils & position 4 is inner coils.

      Just a couple of thoughts...
