As drawn on the diagram below, will the pickup split to the screw or slug side? https://www.seymourduncan.com/images/wiring-diagrams/1H_1VppSPL_1T.jpg Thank you.

I've replaced a few sets of Strat pickups but have never worked with wiring push-pull potentiometers. I have a PRS SE (H/H, 1 Vol, 1 Tone w/ push-pull coil split). I'm replacing the stock 85/15 S pickups with a Jazz neck and a Custom 5 Trembucker on the bridge. While I'm at it, I am adding...

I have a PRS SE 24 Standard: 2HB, 1 vol, 1 tone w/ a three way blade. It has a push/pull on the volume pot for coil splitting. Thinking of installing the ubiquitous JB/Jazz combo but would like to add a push pull on the tone pot for phase. Can't find a schematic for this. Thanks.

JB and ’59 alternatives? Looking for off the shelf pickups for an H/H hardtail Strat build. Nothing against the JB & ‘59 but I already have them in a Charvel San Dimas and a Jackson Dinky, plus a third JB in a Strat Plus. All three JBs are TB4s (Trembuckers). Nothing boutique and I will...

http://www.fendercustomshop.com/guitars/stratocaster/limited-edition-last-waltz-stratocaster-1-piece-maple-fingerboard-bronze/ The music and the event don't grab me and neither does adding 10 lbs. of bronze to a guitar. I do like the idea of moving the middle pickup "out of the way" (this is...

Charvel San Dumas H/H, 1 vol, 3-way toggle JB Trembucker (TB4) bridge '59 neck I have a Bourne 500K push/pull pot that I can use for phase reverse or coil split. The middle switch position (both pickups) tone is muddy and useless so with only one potentiometer in the guitar, can I hardwire...

Power out of phase (Both HB's [in series, in phase] wired in series with each other out of phase). I have a Charvel San Dimas, (2 HB, 1 Vol, 3 way toggle). Can I replace the volume pot with a push-pull pot to achieve the above? If so, what would that look like, schematically? Would positions...

http://www.freewayswitch.com/ Would like to get additional options from my Charvel San Dimas. Don't know if there's enough clearance in the rear cavity for this.

What is the equivalent to the JB pickup in the 12” speaker world? In other words, if you were going to stick with one, what would be your “go to” speaker? I’m looking for something that: Doesn’t color/change/emphasize the amp’s tone much. Doesn’t break up easily (let the amp handle that) and...

I have a JB Trembucker for the bridge and two GFS 60's-70's Grey Bottom Non Stagger single coils for the neck and middle positions. I’m trying to get the most out of each type of pickup with the least compromise, so I am thinking one master volume, one tone for the neck and mid single coils and...

In positions 2 and 4 with the humbucker coils split, (hopefully pull) will this schematic get me the slug or the screw coil of each humbucker? This is going in a 24 fret guitar so I think I want to have the screw coil on when split. Thanks...

First, I have an alder body Strat Plus w/ a maple fretboard and a two-point, non-locking trem. I’m looking for something that has (what I hear to be) a prominent mid, - upper mid “honk”. I’m thinking Def Leppard – ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me” or Styx ‘Blue Collar Man’. Don’t know if that’s James...

I have a H/H/H guitar with 1 Volume, 1 Tone w/ push-pull for coil splitting and a 5-way Switch. Each humbucker has four leads. I’m looking at the two schematics below. I included the Liberator version as well but I guess the Liberator can’t accommodate three, four wire pickups. I’m not sure...

I have a guitar with two Kent Armstrong Motherbuckers. Two of them are installed on my guitar, along with another humbucker. My understanding is that the Motherbucker is two, single coil sized humbuckers mounted together. With that being the case, each Motherbucker has a pair of four...

I have a Strat Plus that currently has three gold Lace Sensor pickups. My plan is to go with either an H/S/S or H/S/H setup using full-sized buckers. I’m not sure which way I want to go. I have one Strat and I want to keep it as flexible as possible. I like neck humbuckers but I notice (at...
