HSH With S-1 fot Thinline Tele Wiring question

[Nick 70]

I'm in the process of building a thinline tele with two Seymour Duncam Humbucker, S1 switch ,and 5-waySuper Switch. I check the wiring diagrams out there and was only able to fine the one attached with a single coil pickup included. How do I elimanate the single coil and make the configuration work. If I lift the coil out there will be a dead spot when selected. Can I jump some wiring to include a single coil form the Humbuckers. Appriciate any suggestion.

What are you wanting all of these switches to do?

In the up mode its using the single coils of the Humbucker and in the down mode it works as both pole humbucker. That is what I want. The only issue is the single coil . If I remove the yellow wire from the switch can I use a wire from C on the switch to take up the missing center coil.

What do you want positions 2 & 4 on the switch to do?

S1 switch up Position 2 have the bridge inside coils Active S-1 Down 4 Have neck and bridge inside coils active

Since you have a super switch and you don't want a middle pup, you could eliminate the S1 and wire it with the "Dave's do-it-all wiring" scheme and get just about any useful combination you'd like...

Pos 1 = bridge (humbucker)
Pos 2 = bridge and neck (outside coils)
Pos 3 = bridge and neck (humbuckers)
Pos 4 = bridge and neck (inside coils)
Pos 5 = neck (humbucker)

You could wire it to get just about any other coil combinations in pos 2 & 4 (bridge outside coil + neck inside coil, bridge inside coil + neck outside coil).

You could also change a vol or tone control to a p/p so you could split the neck and bridge pups and have single coils in pos 1, 3, & 5 in addition to the above combinations.

Or you could wire it to have...

1 = bridge split
2 = bridge humbucker
3 = bridge humbucker + neck humbucker
4 = neck humbucker
5 = neck split

GuitarDoc​ Thank you, I saw the post and it looked very interesting. The only reason I was working with the S1 switch is I had it in my spare parts. I have a 500k volume and a p/p switch will go from that angle.​
