Contest: Nuttiest...uh, er...most "avant garde" wiring scheme for...

[Zhangliqun]

...Les Paul or similar H-H guitars with 4 knobs.

Mine is probably not the winner but somebody has to break the ice:

Former neck volume pot = NOW master volume
Former neck tone pot = NOW Spin-A-Split for bridge pu
Former bridge volume pot = NOW bridge tone pot with .0068 cap
Former bridge tone pot = neck tone pot with .022 cap

PURPOSE? We all might get some new ideas from this...

I was thinking about this for my ElDegas project... Using EMG's and having 2 vol, an EXP control and an SPC control and since it has a hole for a mini-toggle, either the Phase reversal or Gain boost. Could also sub the spc for the Afterburner...

Built-in "modded" DS1 distortion

Former neck volume pot = NOW master volume
Former neck tone pot = Distortion
Former bridge volume pot = Tone
Former bridge tone pot = On/Off pull pot.

Mine will lose... but oh well. I like it.

Schecter, 2 Hums 3 way switch

Conventional pots- (tone, volume)

3 way dpdt- split, full, parallel Bridge

2 way dpdt- phase switching between pickups.

coming soon- another 3 way for the neck

slade

EDIT- just reallized you said 4 pot... but this should work anyways. Besides, someone will find a better idea for you to do

I always thought that if I ever had a 4-pot guitar, it would be fun to do:

Master volume
Master Tone

Dial-a-splits on both pups. (My variation of spin-a-split.)

That sounds like the Moser bich electronics to me...??

Is there a difference between your dial-a-split and spin-a-split?

The kitchen sink wiring scheme where you get everything but spin-a-split.

This one's on the bubble -- it's definitely not your typical wiring scheme but on the other hand, it's so well-known at this point that I don't know if it quite qualifies as "avant garde" or nutty. I'll let the other judges decide...

Yeah it was Moser's. Didn't mean to imply it was mine if that's the way it was taken.
