    With a Freeway Switch instead of the Standard toggle switch you get 6 different sounds.


    See the 4th schematic with SS pickups.

      thanks hamerfan.

      Looks like what I need.

      (and also a new neck pickup. I managed to kill the "patient" with my surgery last night. )

      But thanks alot!

      A new, actually functioning soldering iron- is the thing I'll buy first of all!! :o

        I read about the P90 incident: Just for **** and giggles try to unwind the P90. Caveat: you will See several Breaks until you find a resistance with a Multimeter. Voila and you have a Low wind P 90.

            The problem is really the "one off" arched pickup cover.. :/

            so.. I hope my GFS preplacment, will fit up with the pole pieces holes, and everything.

              Won't there be noise issues wiring P-90s in series if they have the vintage Gibson-style braided shield? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that P-90s need to be 3-conductor (hot, shield, dedicated ground) in order to do series wiring without the shield becoming a noise antenna. IIRC something similar needs to be done with the neck pickup cover when wiring a Tele in series.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

                I can live with some noise.

                The stock pickups came with plastic coated wiring, i think with a braided "ground" outside of the "Hot" wire, with some insulation in between.

                The bridge pickup is completely! silent now- even more so, after I applied silicone to dampen the cover. (It was horribly microphonic).

                I hope my replacement neck pickup will be cool aswell .
