I need help with wiring (large project)

[F3RR3T911]

I need either

A. someone to make me a wiring diagram ( i can pay i dont have alot at this moment and i would have to use a money order)
or
B. Some help in the right direction

This is basically a wiring nightmare for the most part.

Ive been threw stewmac and Seymour Duncan etc and found nothing that helps me out really

Here is a link to my parts thread. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1257136

The electronics are as follows.

Neck Pickup: EMG 89R
Middle Pickup: EMG 89
Bridge Pickup: EMG 81TW
Bridge: GraphTech Ghost Resomax With Piezo Saddles
Bridge Electronics: Graphtech Acousti-Phonic Kit
Boost: EMG AfterBurner
Tone control: EMG SPC
Tone control: EMG EXG
Onboard Tuner: N-Tune Onboard Guitar Tuner

Ive spent the past few hours figure the best way to wire this up. and this is what i have came up with so far.

1 6 position 4 pole rotary switch per pickup. this takes care of the following.

1. Series-In Phase
2. Single Coil (South)
3. Single Coil (North)
4. Parallel-In Phase
5. Series-Out of Phase
6. Parallel-Out of Phase

Then there will be three more knobs one for each tone control

EMG afterburner
EMG EXG
EMG SPC

One magnetic volume knob
One Acoustic volume knob

1 mini toggle per pickup (turn each pickup on and off separately)
1 mini toggle for the acoustic pickup on or off
the power switch will not be seen.

So that is 8 knobs 4 mini toggles thats alot im hoping i can figure (or get help) to find a simple way to wire this without losing any function. But at the same time reducing the number of knobs or switches.

which i dont see a way



here is a rendering. *different inlays on the neck and headstock* maybe a different headstock shape. (not sure on knob and switch position)

Welcome to the forum.

In my opinion, you will never get all of those pots, switches and PCBs into the control cavity, let alone be able to operate them comfortably onstage. The cavity will need extending like some of Pete Townshend's modified Gibson Les Paul Deluxe instruments.

The reason why Seymour Duncan wiring diagrams have not helped you is because they are not relevant to your chosen pickups.

The three EMG designs that you mention each employ three coils. There are only two worthwhile ways in which to connect these:- side-by-side, series, noise-cancelling or vertically stacked, series, noise-cancelling. Normally, the modes of each of these pickups would be selected with push-pull pots. Obviously, three pickups requires three push-pull pots (or DPDT toggle switches).

Hmm. I am in two minds about what else to write. Either you really are very new to guitar/pickup modification or this thread is a spoof from my old mucker SlayerSlaughter. :scratchch
