I have the following configuration:
2 x Single Coils [Red Cable Hot, Green Cable Ground]
1 x Humbucker [Red Cable Hot (North Start), Violet Cable (North Finish + South Finish = Two Middle Cables), Green Cable (South Start), Silver (Bare Ground Cable)]
All green + silver cables are ground cables, blue + red cables are simple connections. I only used different colors to make it easier to interpret.
The 5 way switch should lead to the following pickup constellations:
Position 1: Bridge Humbucker
Position 2: Bridge Humbucker + Mid Single Coil
Position 3: Mid Single Coil
Position 4: Mid Single Coil + Neck Single Coil
Position 5: Neck Single Coil
The push/push tone knob should split the humbucker, so that I only use a single coil of the humbucker in positions 1 and 2. Here's my diagram:
I'm done with the wiring, and I'm surprised that the highs feel a bit strange and in the in-between positions I get squeals. Seems like the wiring scheme is faulty...
Does the capacitor connection matter (middle lug vs bottom lug)? Is the 5-way switch scheme correct for my setup?
