Charvel Six Pack of Sound Wiring

[apil87]

Hi, guys! I wanted this wiring on my ibanez but nothing in search so I decided to make one.


You will need a 3-way superswitch :

EBAY

and push-pull potentiometer.

.



When push-pull is down:
1. Bridge
2. Inner coils
3. Neck

When push-pull is up:
1. Bridge outer coil
2 Outer coils
3. Neck outer coil.

This wiring is kinda thing that I wanted. Any thoughts?

But not 4 pole 3 way switches

Oh, I forgot to clarify.

1. Bridge
2. Inner coils
3. Neck

When push-pull is up:
1. Bridge outer coil
2 Outer coils
3. Neck outer coil.

It's convenient when you play in a cover band and don't want to take different guitars with you. The 2nd position is kinda tele-ish or strat inbetween depending on the push-pull.

Me too at first. But you can buy it on ebay or aliexpress.

they actually do exist. As a toggle as well as a blade. I would use a Schaller 5 way M switch and a 3 way T, swap the PCB's and you've got yourself a strat 5 way and a Tele superswitch 4 pole. Easy.

I added links to the sites that sell these switches, but your way is neat!
