The sd diagram lays out the lugs of the switch kinda weird. This might help.

Anyone have experience with both? Currently have a pegasus/sentient set in a C# tuned guitar. Finding the pegasus a bit mushy. Debating whether I should get a nazgul, or try a ceramic in the pegasus.

Its same as a series/parallel wiring, like this but you add a jumper from one of the bottom two terminals to either one of the top two terminals depending on which coil you want to split to: jumper to the terminal with the hot (black) lead to split to the south (screw) coil. Jumper to the...

Switchcraft toggles switches are like the one in the diagram, and they're pretty much the industry standard for American made instruments so it makes sense.

After having some coffee and looking at this diagram it looks in the ibanez diagram I provided the neck is wired with the white lead (south finish) as the hot and black lead (north finish) as the ground. So in position 2 of the switching the neck does indeed split to the south (screw) coil...

Seek and you shall find...again The seymour duncan wiring is actually not what you're looking for. Seeing as the red and white are terminated together, rather than separate, I'm guessing it just splits the coils in positions 2 and 4, no parallel wiring. With the ibanez diagram one thing to...

I'm currently running a pair of virtual vintage 54 pros, and a 36th bridge in a strat, and I'm having trouble with the 54 pro in the middle. I have to raise it pretty high for it to match volume-wise with the neck, which ends up getting in the way of my picking, and I find it a bit thin...

From the specs I assumed it's a very bright pickup with sharp attack, but from what I've read it's actually pretty smooth and has dull/subdued pick attack. Is this true? Always looking for a smooth pickup without sharpness for the neck position, but they're always eq'd too bassy and thick so...

ignore the push/pull bridge portion, treat it as a regular tone potentiometer, except the middle lug shouldn't go to the vol pot. It should go directly to the hot (humbucker - red, middle - green) of which ever pickup you want it to control the tone of. same for the 2nd tone pot. the bridge red...

So...I guess Dimarzio got backed up due to the pandemic, can't find an f-spaced zebra tone zone for sale (not for a reasonable price anyway). However, there is an f-spaced zebra Air Zone for sale. How difficult would it be to de-air the Air Zone? Are the slugs tapered at the bottom, or just...

I have a strat with an HSH setup, and the 5 way is wired so that I get the middle single coil in parallel, humcancelling with a split humbucker in positions 2 and 4. I was wondering if I were to turn the middle pickup in to a dummy coil by removing its polepieces would I essentially be getting...

So installed a set of breeds in my parts strat a few days ago I'm contemplating changing out the neck for an air norton. Breeds not bad, it fat and smooth but it still has a glassy, sharp pick attack that i don't dig. It also overpowers the bridge in volume. The air norton is lower in output...

Hey y'all. I've been running jb/true velvet/59 in a parts strat for about a year, and i always thought the humbuckers sounded strangely weak and thin, contrary what I was used to hearing from the jb/59 in my other guitars. I just assumed my guitar was naturally bright, and messed with different...

I remember seeing ed roman guitars online and one of his big selling points was that the neck tenon of his guitars extend deep into the body, and the neck humbucker is actually direct mounted onto the tenon, and that's supposed to have a big impact on the sound. As well g.e. smith talking about...
