I've been thinking about the issue of combining soldering and solderless a lot and here's what I want to do (incl. some of questions). It would be great if you guys can give some expert advice! As a reminder, here's my own Wiring diagram again: and here's the standard wiring from EMG...

Fully agreed. But then, how do I go about it the other way? I have normal wires coming from the batteries and the low-battery indicator which have to be connected to the EMG Push/Pull Pot. However, it looks like this:

Hey all, I have a complex wiring diagram but easy questions (at least I hope so). Question 1: the current illustration is for a three-way toggle switch. However, I have a three-way blade switch (like below). Can anyone translate the above to this? (i.e. where do white neck, white, bridge...

We're talking about a metal guitar with a very nice single coil which I am using for clean tones and some leads. I have a Dimebucker in the bridge and a Häussel single coil in the neck using the wiring diagram below. My pots are 500k (EVH speed volume, CTS No-Load) and I use a standard 3-way...

I have a Charvel DK-22 that came with 500k pots, a Hot Rails in the bridge and SSL-6 in neck and middle. It's a great guitar with a very skinny maple neck and an alder body (Gotoh trem). My only problem was that I really didn't like the SSL 6. So i sold them and took out the Texas Special Neck...

In the below wiring diagram, which pickups will the tone pot control? Are both tone and volume master (i.e. controlling all 3?) For background: will use Hot Rails - Texas Special - Texas Special with 500k pots.

I know, I know - impossible to answer... But for lack of YouTube videos, I'm trying to get some anecdotal feedback from Lollar and/or Fralin owners. I own Lollar Blackfaces in a Warmoth Strat and I LOVE them. I just sold the Texas Specials from my Fender MIA 2003 Strat and I'm thinking of...

Hi, I have a Charvel DK22 with 500k pots, an SD Hot Rails in bridge and SD SSL-6 Single Coils in mid & neck position. Despite their fame, I do not like the SSL-6 pups at all (especially when playing clean) :-/ On other guitars I have Fender Texas Specials and Lollar Blackstars and I love them...

Thanks so much for the support so far. I added a three-way blade to the wiring diagram (see at the bottom) and have two very quick follow up questions: - do I have to add another wire from the blade and solder on top of the tone pot? (seen this in other EMG 3-way blade diagrams), (like so in...

Hi all, I am planning on wiring an 81/60 combo with a standard three-way switch. Instead of doing a full 18V-mod, I want to be able to switch from 9V to 18V by using a push/pull tone knob. I've read elsewhere that it's recommended to do this via series/parallel wiring (to drain batteries...

Hi all, I'm planning to install the Fishman KSE set (active) with 1 Vol and 1 Tone (just like in the diagram below). However, instead of a three-way blade (with 8 pins), i want to use a three-way LP-Style toggle switch (which mostly has 5 pins, right?). Would anyone know how to wire using a...

I've been studying these diagrams. JV Standard Set Up: SD Hot Rails + Single Coil Standard Setup:

Hi all, I am currently building my own SSS guitar and want to combine the SD Hot Rails (bridge) with Lollar Blackface on Mid and Neck position. From a pure sound perspective, this seems like the ultimate combination for my style :) However, I'm still quite unsure about some details: 250k vs...

Hi all, this is my first post, I'm happy to have become part of this awesome community. So, here's my problem. I'm currently fully re-furbishing my 2002 HSS Strat American Standard Strat. The Texas Special Mid and Neck Single Coils sound awesome but I feel I could get a more punchy tone out of...
