Help! Will this wiring schematic work?

Re: Help! Will this wiring schematic work?

In the schematic diagram from the opening post, the signal from the middle pickup never passes directly through a volume or tone pot.

The signal from the middle pickup is only affected indirectly by the controls governing the humbuckers because ANYTHING connected to the output jack tip contact will be proportionally shunted to ground as the volume and/or tone pots are rotated towards their maximum resistance positions.

Any blending of the middle pickup relative to the other pickups would require a dedicated pot. This modification will not result in Stratocaster-like sounds.

Funk, didn't you post something like this before for a similar coil split job where the user didn't want to drill anymore holes?

Stew Mac carries them.

Possibly... Although with three volume controls you would not necessarily need the on/off switch. You could just blend the center pickup in with its volume control.

Okay, so i just found this. If i'm correct, this would allow me to blend the middle pickup into all three of the regular LP pickup configurations?

Looking at the Epiphone website, the only product listing and description is for the ES-339 PRO. This model arrives with coil split push-pull pots for each humbucker. If the split leaves the inside/studs coils operational, the nett result is going to be pretty close to what the combination of one humbucker and a central single coil might sound like.

My own approach would be American-made pickups, mounted in SD Triple Shot surrounds - a fully reversible and altogether tidier solution.

To be honest, right now, I am stalling for time until blueman335 shows up to explain the true path to Thinline Heaven.

Actually, I do love the way the guitar sounds stock but... this project has less to do with tone and more to do with creating something a little more unique all around. I'm incapable of leaving well enough alone, but i don't want to start drilling and sawing without a plan, lol.

I just googled the triple shot surrounds (never heard of them) they look awesome. Will definitely keep those in mind for future experiments.

I'm still debating whether I should install the triple shot rings with the Screamin Demon/Pearly Gates set I'm looking at putting in my Agile LP copy as well.
