3 pup wiring diagram, the keeper

Three humbucker guitar, each of the humbuckers has coil cutters which
are humbucking when used together. The bridge and neck coil cutters
are inside of push/pull master volume and tone pots. The middle pickup
can select either coil or both HB through on-on-on switch, (yes this is
klunky, but it makes the two switches match) see figure 1. (leads F
and D are connected to ground)

In figure 2, there is the 6 position 4 pole rotary to drive with.
First three positions are
1 neck,
2 neck + middle,
3 middle,

Position 3 is the bridge pickup. However, another on-on-on switch
can select
1 bridge in series with middle
2 bridge
3 bridge in parallel wih middle

Position 4 is like 3 but adds the neck pickup in parallel.
Position 5 is like 4 but the bridge is out of phase.

This gives a SOMEWHAT ergonomic connection to lots of stratish
sounds, LP sounds, all three pickups, front and rear out-of-phase,
etc... and no holes are drilled in the LP.

Nicely done. ;) One thing that I'd love to see, after you've had the opportunity to play with all of this for awhile, is to report back and let us know which switch positions you find most useful, and which you rarely use. You have a nice "evalution tool" here. It would be good to know what works, and what doesn't.

thanks for looking it over. Hopefully I'll figure out how to get some
clips up, if not I'll just give a verbal review. thanks again

Well damn, now I need a 6 way rotary! :laugh2:
Seriously, check your dimensions in your toggle area. It'll be tight, but it should fit okay. Man, I can't wait to hear how this turns out. :)
