I recently wired up my guitar with the following wiring schematic ... http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_2v_3w_1pp When I previously asked in this forum what this config would do (not explained in the schematic) I was told it was a coil split and...

Does anyone know what the wiring schematic below actually does? Is it a series/parallel arrangement or phase related? It doesn't specifically state what it is. Thanks in advance. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_2v_3w_1pp

I know that in regular series wiring of a SD four conductor humbucker you wire the red and white wires together, tape them up and leave them unconnected. I've been trying to figure out which two wires you do the same for if you want parallel wiring. All the diagrams I see include a switch to put...

This just doesn't look correct to me. The grounded lug on the neck volume pot looks wrong. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_2v_3w

Hello, I am wondering about the differences between wiring two volume pots together. One option is the Jazz Bass wiring scheme where the hot lead is connected to the center lug of the pot. The other option is to wire the hot lead to the out lug (standard LP wiring). I realize with the JB...

I have a neck pickup with a DC Res of 7.85K and a bridge pickup with a DC Res of 17K. Both pickups are wired in a Jazz Bass scheme (hot wire to the center lug and no tone control). When hooking up a multimeter to the output jack I get the following readings; 1) Neck pickup, full volume, bridge...

I'm interested to hear from anyone who has made adjustments to the pole pieces of their Lil'59 pickups. Is there a notible change in sound? I read in one forum to "arrange the heights of the polepieces to imitate a Fender Wide Range Humbucker - three up and three down on one coil, and the...

Hi. I'm trying to put together my Tele with two humbuckers with just two volume pots with no tone control and to be able to switch between the two and have them both on in the middle position. I've seen wiring diagrams for the John5 telecaster (same config) and schematics on the SD site that...

Just installed two Humbuckers in my MIM Tele (APH-1/Lil'59). Wired up everything as per spec (see link below). Here is the problem... while I get output from my pups (neck/neck and bridge/bridge using a 3-way toggle) the tone and volume controls don't do a thing. Some slight variation in tone...

Does anybody know if there is a Seymour Duncan pickup that compares to the original Fender "Wide Range" pickup introduced in the 70's? I heard it was designed by Seth Lover. Since he had such a close relationship with Mr. Duncan I was wondering if there are any SD pups that are similar in...

I have a Lil'59 bridge pup for my 2010 MIM Standard Telecaster. Any suggestions for a Humbucker for the neck position? I'm look for a classic rock tone. LIke to hear from current Lil'59 bridge players on what they are using in the neck (for all type of tones/genres). Thanks.

I've seen photos of the SH-55n in the neck position with the pole pieces close to the neck and others positioned with the pole pieces closer to the bridge? Would someone please explain the different placings? Advantage/Disadvantage etc. Thanks.

Just how problematic is the SH-55n Seth Lover in that it is not wax potted? This site states "Not recommended for use with ultra high gain tube amplifiers over 50 watts". Is playing through your own amp with those specs just the problem or any gig situation with other amps in the room/on stage...

Anybody have a recommendation for a humbucker bridge pup that would pair nicely with a Seth Lover neck pickup in a Telecaster? Thanks

I will be installing a Seymourized Mini-Humbucker SM-3 in the neck position of my MIM Standard Telecaster. I am having a heck of a time trying to determine what would be a good match for them in the bridge position. Trying my best to understand DC this and Resonant that. Any Tele owners out...
