Hello everyone,
I've been lurking for a few weeks now, since I started thinking of modding my old super strat guitar. I plan to buy new pickups and mod the electronics so I can fully exploit the HB versatility through series/parallel operation.
What I would want to achieve is to have a switch for both humbuckers (or one for each if it makes it easier) so I have a series mode (A) and a parallel mode (B). Mode A would be just the traditional HSH 5 way configuration.
Mode A (series):
1. Neck HB [series]
2. Neck HB/series + Middle SC [parallel]
3. Middle SC
4. Bridge HB/series + Middle SC [parallel]
5. Bridge HB [series]
Mode B (parallel):
1. Neck HB [parallel]
2. Neck HB/split coil + Middle SC [parallel]
3. Middle SC
4. Bridge HB/split coil + Middle SC [parallel]
5. Bridge HB [parallel]
To make it clear, it would be something like this:
Would it be possible? Which electronic parts would I need to add?
Would somebody be kind enough to give me some directions as to how to tackle this?
