Hello.
I got me Hot Rails b, Vintage Rails n, and Cool Rails n for my 2009 Carvin Bolt to replace A11 single coils and a humbucker in the bridge. I got 500k pots in there and a mini togle switch that splits the bridge. 5 way pickup selector.
I would appreciate any advice on the wiring of these. Versitility and hum elimination was on my mind with the pickup switch. I'd like my neck to be little hotter for smoother leads (Cool Rails), my notch and middle positions to be vintage strat sounding, and bridge to handle dirtier stuff all the way to metal. I will be putting DR Dimebag .10-.52 strings and tuning it to D as all my guitars.
Should I just have it wired as a standard 5 way switching and just split the bridge with the mini pot, or could I get more creative with splitting the Cool rails and combining them with vintage rails that are not splittable. When Seymour says that these are an awesome combo, does he mean just standard 5 way wiring? Maning just combining full neck and bridge to vintage rails for the 2 and 4 positions?
Im stupid as far as wiring goes. Id just like to give the tech guy all the possible combos.
Im coming to you first because I know you guys have a ton of knowledge on these forums and I doubt my tech is gonna go for something more creative since I do have the 4 conductor wiring available.
Thanks
