Everything Axe w/19 tones

I saw this pickguard advertised for sale on Ebay. I like making my own and usually I can find the wiring diagram for what I want. Not having any luck this time. I have Seymour Duncan Lil'59 neck and bridge. I just picked up a new Duckbucker. I have everything I need but can't find that wiring diagram. From what I can tell from looking at the pictures it has 2 push/pulls One at the volume and one in the middle tone. and one 500k pot with a 5 way switch. I want to split the bridge and neck coils with one p/p and add the bridge at position 4 on the 5 way for all 3 on at once with the other p/p Can anyone tell me where I can find that wiring diagram? I have been looking through this forum for what seems like days. lol Thanks for any help.
 
Re: Everything Axe w/19 tones

Certainly no expert on it but whatever that '19 tones' involves, I believe the original duncan everything axe pickguard uses a 250k volume and tone pots. Maybe what you are looking at is a non-Duncan produce?

Not a fan of 19 tone guitars or "Everything Axes".

I even removed the 5 position rotary switch on my PRS Custom 22 and replaced it with a Les Paul style 3 way toggle. The single/split coil sounds just didn't sound convincing to me. So I got rid of them.

And it was hard to find the positions on the rotary switch that I wanted to switch to onstage, without paying more attention to the switch than to the music I was playing.

The other thing is, I'd need separate EQ and volume controls on my amp for each of the coil splitting settings in order for them to be usable and at the right volume.

"Your mileage may vary" as they say...

I think it is a good excersise to see what tones you like, but when you get many sounds, it takes 2 or 3 moves to get from one or the other. I would wire it up just to experiment, then hardwire the top 5 tones into a Super Switch.

Yes. It's good to know.

Until then, it's all imaginings and fantasy.

Okay but still looking for a wiring diagram that shows how to coil tap the two Lil'59's and bring the bridge in at position 4 (middle and neck) on a 5 way switch. I want to do this using push/pulls at the volume and tone(s) No extra switch's
