Hi, hamerfan, The rear pickup is stock. I have changed out pickups in an archtop, but I cheat. I simply cut the wire in the middle leaving the original connections at the pot(s). I attach the new pickup half-way and then wrap in electrical tape. My only concern is that I believe the parallel...

I have an Alnico II Pro bridge humbucker leftover from a previous guitar and would like to upgrade the neck pickup in my Ibanez George Benson, LGB-30...an archtop guitar. The current pickup is the Super 58 CUSTOM which is the cheaper pickup that Ibanez offers....NOT the coveted Super 58 from the...

At least for me. It took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get it right, but I've finally (after 4 attempts or so) gotten a humbucker to play nice with single coils. I'd like to thank everybody who has taken the time to give input on my wiring questions. It is appreciated. It took forever because of the...

I probably have this correct, but before I make a mistake (and waste a new pack of stings in the process), I was hoping to get confirmation from wiring gurus that my wiring diagram is accurate. I have a middle,RWRP single coil (APS-2) to be used with a JB (SH-4). I prefer the screw coil nearest...

I have an H-S-H build and have it wired so in position 2, I can have the middle SC on with EITHER the bridge HB slug coil or screw coil (by using a push-pull pot). The combination sounds fine in one position (when the HB has the slug coil activated). However, the sound is out of phase when the...

I want to wire a H-S-H guitar with a Superswitch to achive this configuration (as shown in the first diagram). Neck humbucker Neck humbucker(split)/middle SC Neck and bridge humbucker (full) Middle SC/Bridge humbucker(split) Bridge humbucker...

Hi, all. I hope a wiring guru can help! I'm using this diagram: STK-S2 (original Hot Stack) http://www.seymourduncan.com/images/products/electric/stratocaster/501015-105.pdf I am using the second part where I have a 5-way Super Switch to wire it so that positions 2 and 4 give a coil split...

I've really become interested in using one of these with a P-Rails pickup and checked on one of the online vendor websites (MF) about price. A few of the reviews stated the screw holes of the Triple Shot mounting ring won't line up with stock Les Paul screw holes. Another review said the...

I will really appreciate some help from any brilliant Superswitch gurus. :wave: I'm wring my Strat with the Scott Henderson Mod. (This removes the tone control from the 2 and 4 position but leaves them wired for the individual pickup selections.) I have successfully wired this using a...

I'm posing this in case there are other mixed marriage pickup guitarists who are having problems. I just want to give props to the thread (posted below) that helped my while I was pulling out my hair getting a Duncan Vintage '54 bridge pickup to play nicely with a DiMarzio Area T Neck. I...

Hi, all :cool2: I'm unable to find locally a 250K push-pull tone pot, but I do have a 500K (push-pull for coil split) pot lying around. (And I don't know if it's a volume or tone pot.) I'm curious as if this combination (using the .022 cap. in common with the other 250K tone pot) will sound...

I have looked all over the Internet for white P-90 covers with no success. Does anybody have a lead? :scratchch I don't know if spray painting a cream colored cover is going to look perfect. Thanks! Carl

Hi All, I redid my S-S-H Kramer Pacer and used this diagram: 1 Humbucker - 2 Single Coil - 1 Vol - 1 Tone - 5 Way Switch I previously had a Hot Rails in the Neck, Hot Stack in the middle and Custom for the bridge. Now, I left the Hot Stack in the middle, installed ANOTHER Hot Stack in the...

Hi Y'all, :wave: I don't mean corrosion where the wiring connects with the jack, but where the cable makes contact inside the jack. Here's my dilemma. I have a hollow body acoustic/electric, F hole jazz guitar which has the output jack in the traditional place (like a Les Paul). After...
