How would you wire this ?

[ajoep]

I'm planning to upgrade my Tele with a set of Duncans : STHR-1B for the Bridge and APTR-1 for the Neck.

I would like to get rid of the Tone Pot and replace it with an On-On-On switch set like this : series/split/parallel (it'll give me the choice between a standard humbucker, a single coil, and the two coils wired in parallel).

Since there's no qualified tech around town, can you please help me fulfill this wiring diagram so i can do this by my own ?
Ps : i'm using a 3 way toggle switch

Is this correct ?

Is your DP3T switch American, British or Japanese? (Sometimes, the pattern of contacts selected in the middle position varies.)

Everything else looks correct.

I cannot recall the respective magnetic polarity of your two chosen pickups. This would affect which coil of the Hot Rails should remain operational in Split mode.

It's this one : http://www.thomann.de/fr/goeldo_el11c_minischalter.htm

Looks MIJ to me. If you have a multimeter, test which contacts are bridged when the switch is in the middle position.

I think they are MIJ as you can see on this one http://www.thomann.de/fr/goeldo_el013_minischalter.htm
So is my wiring still correct ?

I am logged in via a smartphone. On my screen, the writing stamped into the metal sides of the switch is barely discernible.

I'm pretty sure it's japanese. Does it change something wiring-wise ? (And thank you so much for your feedbacks ! it's helpful)

Official SD schematic diagrams assume the use of C&K switches. If your SE Asian switch engages the internal contacts differently, the interconnection of the two coils in the STHR-1b will not work properly in at least one position.

For the time being, follow your own diagram. See how things turn out. If you get a phase reversal problem, there are two ways to solve it.

Thank you so much FunkFingers !
Hope this helps other players

I hope that it earns me one of those freebies that Scott Olson posted about last week. :nana:
