Since there are a couple of threads about the "spin-a-split" with humbuckers, I thought it would be a good idea to mention that the schematic in "Support - Tech Tips" does not work for an adjustable tap on an S-D single coil.
This diagram shows how to use a SP/DT switch to tap a single coil. You select either the white (full coil) or red (partial coil) lead as hot.
To get a dial-a-tap, wire as follows:
Pot #3 - white & wire to switch
Pot #2 (wiper) - red
Pot #1 - empty
As I mentioned in one of the other threads, a 100k pot worked much better for a dial-a-tap with a Quarter Pound in a strat. I do want to make it a "no load" pot to ensure that I'm getting the full output of the QP at "10".
