1 HB , 1 Volume , Parallel only wiring...no series?

[revolution]

Is there a way to wire an SD 4 conductor to a 1 volume knob and have it run full time in parallel mode?

thanks in advance.

Yes. What you need to do is find out what the different wire colours mean. For Duncan, the green is the beginning of the screw coil, red is the finish. Black is the beginning of the stud coil, white is the finish.

So for parallel you need to solder the white to the green ( the finish of one coil to the start of the other), use red as ground and black as hot. Then get ready for some seriously thin, trebly tone.

Thank you so much!

Hmmm . . . I don't think thats correct. To run a humbucker in parallel mode, you'ld connect bare, green, and white to ground. Connect red and black to hot.

What Gibsononly described would connect the pup out-of-phase with itself.

Edit: Use this schematic as a guide. Pretend the switch is stuck in parallel mode:

Nevermind fellas...It sounds great running at full power! hey Artie I'm looking forward to that wiring diagram for two volumes and a three way! : )

That would be series, not parallel.
