Ah cool, at first I thought you were saying to take the split to hot and ground at the same time which confused me :) So, if the split wire on the neck goes to ground to cancel the second coil, I'm assuming we have this (standard coil split): Because the split has gone to ground, it doesn't...

Ah, so sorry, that's my mistake.....there is no wire at all....not enough coffee! Corrected my original post and here: However, with that push push pot wiring....I'm not clear how I would achieve what you are suggesting (I'm sure a professional could completely rewire to do that..) Is...

​Thank you so much! First pic - push push pot - the original coil split had the bridge split going to hot and neck split going to ground. Second pic - if I have understood correctly to get the capacitor in series, I need to wire like this. Is that correct?

Hi, My old PRS CE24 long since lost its rotary switch and has a traditional 3 way switch with a push push for coil splitting. One pickup split to hot, one to ground. I love the coil split sound but the volume drop is too great live. So I wired each pickup to a 10k trimpot, and I'm playing...

Firstly, I may have misunderstood the basics, so let's start with a Plain Coil Split Imagine I have a Dimarzio humbucker and I have Green hot, White ground for one coil and Black hot Red ground for the other. I can see that taking the white and black to ground leaves the Green to White coil...

Hi, I have a guy routing my guitar to install a humbucker in the neck position of my guitar - actually a single coil sized stacked humbucker - deeper than the existing single coil, hence the routing. The guitar is currently SSH and the pickups are direct mounted...no scratchplate / cavity hence...

Hi guys, changing strings for a gig, finally got a chance to remove the pickup. I've done a drawing (not to scale) for the route along with a pic. Essentially the main route is 16mm deep, but a pickup can only be "sunk in" about 10mm deep as it has ears that are not routed as deep at either...

Thanks Mincer and@electicsynergy. It might help more to look at the spec of the current neck pickup, the Area 58 a.k.a. the DP415. Now, I really like the neck pickup......but....there are times when I miss a neck humbucker for some of my prog / prog metal band duties. I found a thread...

Hi, After a year of waiting for a pickup I've tried to order I'm giving up! I have a Vigier Ultrablues HSS fitted with a Virtual PAF humbucker in the bridge and Virtual Vintage DP415s as the single coils. The neck single coil is sweet but I want a hotter sound....more like a humbucker...

Hi, I've been trying loads of different volume controllers over time for my master volume live. I put the pedal in the loop and use it to tweak my volume in the mix. I got the Visual Volume 10 pedal which is great with the LEDs....but even adjusting internally, the friction on the pedal isn't...

Thanks - I'll check when I'm using a real amp at volume...this has been tested on my AX8. It's definitely 220pF....perhaps I made a mistake with the 100pF....I did test lots of times, but I'll look again. As I understand it though, the smaller the value.....the higher the frequency let...

Hi, I have a lovely Vigier Ultrablues, currently HSS although planning on making that HSH. I'm told by the UK Vigier distributor that the volume pot is 1 Meg. It has no treble bleed circuit at all! I want to be able to control gain using the volume knob but really want to lose as little...

Hi, Two questions please. 1. How do you think this might mix with a Dimarzio PAF bridge pickup? I don't want it to overpower the Dimarzio bridge - either when in combination with the neck Cool Rails or when switching between them. The Cool Rails will be direct mounted in the guitar so...

Hi, A simplified version of a previous post. I have a Vigier Ultra Blues - HSS. Maple neck, alder body, maple cap - superstrat style 24 frets. I love the neck pickup but also miss a humbucker - so looking for a neck single coil sized humbucker that I can use as a humbucker and then perhaps as...

Artie Too that is really interesting - particularly not having to route the top at all...but I can't make out the route for the flange in any of the photos?
