Hi, I have been to the seymour Duncan site and lurking on this forum for quite a while now hoping to find the answer to my question but to no avail.
So now i'm turning to the learned gents on this forum for help in wiring my guitar. I would like to know how to wire these pickups (JB+59n) to a superswitch, to give me the following:-

neck (full humbucking) series?
neck (parallel)
neck (parallel) and bridge (parallel)
neck and bridge (one coil from each pick up, for a "stratty" "in between n+b sound)with no hum.
Bridge (full humbucking) series?

can any you guys help? you,re my last hope!
thanks

Welcome Flash,

I cannot answer your question. However I'll give you a bump up the lineso someone can look in on this, and suggest that you P.M (Private Message) either of the following who might know:

Lewguitar
Robert S.
Jeff H.
Scott F.

You can go to "Member List" above and select one of these folks. Others, if I forgot your name take no offense, this is off the top of my head.

Hi Flash; I've been sluffing off due to just finishing up a weeks vacation.

I'll see what I can come up with. ;)

Welcome to the forum! I haven't got an answer for you but it certainly sounds liek something that someone here can help you with.

Artietoo is one bad switch wiring mother...I'm there but not as fast as he is...Dudes got a knack. You're in good hands. Off the top of my head I think you need to go to a 4 position switch (position 4 one coil of each deams 4 pole reducing switch positions) so be thinking of what you want to give up. Maybe he has a trick...ah...we'll just have to check him out...anyhow without drawing it up I think you'll have to go to a 4 position.

flash,
I'm not so knowledgeable about wiring ...

although I don't think this will answer the question specifically, maybe this article by Ken Fischer will shed some light - he has a schematic for a versatile 2 HB wiring scheme :

multi sound humbucker

(it's near the bottom)

hope this helps!
 
Re: JB + 59n + superswitch wiring help please!

I'm not too bothered about the "split coil" position. if it was a bit of a pain to do, a bridge parrallel wiring would do for that position.
 
Re: JB + 59n + superswitch wiring help please!

Hey flash; don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this. :)
I'm a little behind, 'cause I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow,
and I'm trying to take care of a few last minute things
on the home front.

I hope to get this drawn up later today.
(I owe a couple more folks diagrams in here too.) ;)
 
Re: JB + 59n + superswitch wiring help please!

I would wire it for those combos but with a toggle for series/parallel. Easier and more sounds. I have almost the same thing on a 2 HB Jackson minus the parallel sounds and it smokes. The in-between strat position is great. Mine is a 59n/C5b combo.

Try this diagram for starters....

I still haven't forgotten. :) Just got back from a business trip today.
I'll post something in the morning. :wink:
 
Re: JB + 59n + superswitch wiring help please!

Cheers Artie, i'm not trying to hassle you, just getting a bit excited that someone may be able to help me :-)
 
Re: JB + 59n + superswitch wiring help please!

Not a "hassle" at all Flash. I've just gotten a little behind in my drawings.

The fact that a "new" guitar, that I bought on eBay, was waiting for me when I got home, doesn't help either . . . ;)
 
Re: JB + 59n + superswitch wiring help please!

I had a VERY similar config that was ditched in favor of my currnet config - I drew up the diagrams, I'll see if I can find em.

the config at that time was:
1. Neck series
2. Neck parrallel
3. Mid
4. Neck + Bridge (inner coils IIRC)
5. Bridge series
