Humbucker parallel to series wiring switch?

Gearpage I bet.

I don't know if it matters but it had a yellow format.

Re: Humbucker parallel to series wiring switch?

Electronically it's not impossible, but you need to work out the exact wiring and find a switch/push-pull/whatever that will do the following for you:

Series: The volume pot needs to see North Hot, Series Link, and Ground+Bare. In the case of Duncans you need the volume pot's input to see the Black wire, while the switch in that position needs to have Red and White shorted together, as well as having Green going to ground. Bare is ground no matter what.
Parallel: Volume pot input needs to see Red+Black, and the switch needs to route White+Green to ground. Bare is always ground.

Not sure exactly what switch would accomplish that off top of my head. Maybe look at a 4 pole double throw?

Only need a DPDT for one pup. If he wants one switch to do 2 pups at the same time, he would need a 4PDT.

WAIT! It looks like the Triple Shot should do what you need, look at the official demo on the Duncan Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPYIeHNuxzQ

Pretty sure you can just contact Duncan customer support for how to wire that up too!

Wiring instructions come with the TS.

Here's one way to do it. This one gives series, split and parallel. Very useful. Maybe it's already been shared in this thread.

Seymour Duncan Guitar Wiring Explored - DPDT On-On-On Switch Wiring

That one splits to the red-green (screw) coil. If you want to split to the black-white (slug) coil us this diagram:

You are seriously over complicating this. You just need an on/on toggle or push pull
