OK, here it goes. First I would like to have 2 humbuckers wired up for one tone and one volume and one three way (this I already can do)... BUT I would like to have one mini switch to put BOTH pickups in series (this I can do as well)... Now here is where I need the most help, I want yet one...

I currently have a mini switch for the pickups wired in series BUT when the switch is engaged I have a problem in how the switch reacts to the 3 way switch. For example, when I flick the switch to series mode, I lose sound on the bridge at the 3 way. I then get the series sound on the middle...

I am talking about series at the switch when 2 humbuckers are combined. For example on a les paul, the toggle in the middle. I already know what the parallel sounds like, as this is pretty much standard 3 way switch wiring. I would like to know about series which I have yet to try. Is it...

I used to have a Lindy Fralin 8.5k paf that I used in the neck position of a guitar and it sounded great there. It was somewhat darker sounding than a 7.5k, but in a good way. Excellent lead guitar tones. Smooth sustain for days. But isn't 8.5k is considered to be a bridge pickup, right...

I just purchased 2 mini toggles to wire up some series/parallel/split options The toggles are ON/OFF/ON, and I should have purchased ON/ON/ON switches. I checked the Duncan schematics and there is no reference to any ON/OFF/ON switches. Can I use these? If so what for? If not, why are they...

Any body try this... Would this tame the treble a bit???

OK, I am attempting to search out a few options here. I was interested in these: The Custom V Pearly Gates Bridge JB Of these, I had the Custom V, but it sold along with a guitar. I liked it clean, but maybe I want something different. Mids are good, but I want to avoid spiky trebles. Which...
