So my brother-in-law gave me his old '86 Roadstar II which he gutted and put in an Active EMG humbucker. I am not a fan of the tone and started looking at other configurations more true to the original Roadstar II setup.
I saw that 920D Custom has a loaded pickguard for the Roadstar, with a JB Jr in the bridge, Duckbucker in the middle and a Little '59 in the neck, but also has push-pull pots on volume and tone and 7-way switching.
I have searched and searched as to how this could be wired up H-H-H with two push pull pots and how that would even work, with very little luck. The Series/Parallel versus Coil-Splitting decision is boggling my brain.
SD says the Duckbucker is designed to be wired for parallel but can be Series for a hotter humbucker. Would you even want a hot humbucker in the middle?
So how would this be wired? If a 5 way Super Switch were wired along with the two push-pulls, could this be set up as a Series/Parallel on one pot and Coil-split with the other? How would a 7-way switch be implemented when there is no toggle (they don't make 7-ways, do they?)
I'm very new to this but I understand the wiring diagrams and am not afraid of soldering...I just can't put the whole big picture of how they do this on paper.
