HSH with a push pull?

[thehtm]

Is it possible to wire a strat HSH with a push pull switch so that when its down you can have:

1 - Neck humbucker
2 - Split coil of neck HB with middle single-coil
3 - Both HB
4 - Split coil of bridge HB with middle single-coil
5 - Bridge humbucker



And with push-push pulled:

1 - Split Neck HB
2 - Split outside coil of neck HB with middle single-coil
3 - Middle single coil
4 - Split outside coil of bridge HB with middle single-coil
5 - Split Bridge HB

Basically like a SSS strat

I am guessing it is possible . . . but I have no clue of what that would look like. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Yup. I think it is doable.

Use this diagram as a basis:

And then, from each lug where the red&white conductors of humbuckers are, throw a jumper to each pole of the pull/push then, wire together the two upper lugs and ground them.

So, if you have the pull/push and lugs are numbered from left-top to right down as follows:

1 2
3 4
5 6

throw one jumper to 3 (from neck red&white lug)
throw one jumper to 4 (from bridge red&white lug)
jump together 1&2 and ground those
leave free 5 and 6.

An alternative is just to use the pull/push to split both humbuckers at same time on demand.
In that way you can have humbucker+middle in notch positions when desired.

thats still gonna leave him a single in positon 3
with either the PP up or down

what he wants in the middle on one is both humbuckers

thats gonna be a bit tricky

sounds like to me he's gonna need a mini switch or another PP with a
"neck or bridge always on"
to make the outside hums on at the same time

but I could well be retarded

Re: HSH with a push pull?

Parts wise - would you recommend buying a superswitch, two .022 capcitors, 500K volume, 500K push pull, and a 500K tone?

Seemed like a cool idea, and I really appreciate the feedback so far. Thank you!

Re: HSH with a push pull?

standard strat switch

one mini switch or push/pull for bridge or neck always on

what u get is

neck
neck/middle
middle
bridge/middle
bridge

with switch up or on

neck/bridge
neck/middle/bridge
middle/bridge
middle/bridge
bridge

if you have 2 push/pulls you can split the hums
