A wiring setup ive always wanted but never knew how

[BowerR64]

Ive always wanted this wiring setup for my guitars but i could never find a schematic for it and it would be perfect for me.


1. bridge humbucking (only because thats the most common spot out of habbit for me)
2. bridge bucker split for single coil bridge
3. split coil from bridge and neck
4. neck humbucking
5. neck single coil bucker split.

The only switch ive used is a 5 way with 3 contacts. Is there a 5 way with 5 seperate contacts for this kind of a setup? or is it not even possible?

This would be pretty easy with a Superswitch.

I'll post a little diagram tonight.

This should do it:

I recommend the "blues".

The blue and red line is confusing me, what do you mean adjustable coil and stud coil? pretend both pickups are duncan demons

The red and blue lines are just two different wires you can connect. On the left side, blue goes to ground, red goes to the terminal right above. (Right side is the opposite.) So, if you selected the blue lines, the diagram would look like this . . .

. . . which would give you the coils indicated by the red arrows . . .

. . . which would remain humbucking, (and sound better), when both coils were split.

YOu even don't need a superswitch with all that contacts.
There is a "Megaswitch" available form "Eyb" which has exactly your desired options without a complicated wiring: :wave:

You can also use the same switch for 3 single-coils and you'll get neck&bridge
instead the middle pickup in pos.3.

Megaswitch E model ls exactly what you want. It'll do all the heavy lifting.

Just read the handy diagrams as the A&B coils being the neck pickup.

Just wondering, though, will the Megaswitch allow the reversed function of #4 and #5? He wants full-humbucking at #4, and split at #5.

No. I had overlooked that. If that's what he's thinking your diagram is the best way to go.
