Need a wiring diagram for a PG and a Filtertron

[Sheiffer]

Hi there! I Finaly made it, the wiring diagram is done!

But... there are sometings that I din't liked:

1 - The middle position is the problem, its seem like both pickups works with both volume pots, so if I turn the bridge down, both turns down. Sema with the neck volume, if I turn it down both pickups turns down.

2 - The killswitch keep making strange sounds when pressed, I think its what you call pop.


Is there a way to fix this problems?
Thanks all!

If you get a pop, I think you can just add an inline resistor to avoid it. I seem to recall the Gibson Varitone circuit used one at a particular point in the circuit for the same reason. But ok, you win. :beerchug:

What kind of resistor should I use?

Hello, I know this is an old thread, but since I am trying to get information to do something very similar I hope this “trailer” will be acceptable. I am also planning to add Blacktop Filtertron pickups to a “fender Strat style” pickup array. I plan to use a pre-wired pickguard that currently contains pickups in a single-single-hum form factor, but all the current pickups are humbuckers with coil splits. I plan to replace the neck and bridge pickups with Blacktop Filtertrons while leaving the Strat sized humbucker in the middle. I will replace the neck and bridge coil tap switches with on-off-on mini switches wired to capacitors as per the Gretsch tone switch circuit. I am getting a bit nervous about exactly how to connect the Filtertrons to the Strat five-way switch and/or the volume pot. My hope is that when the switches for the Filtertrons are in the center “off” position the will be controlled by the tone pots, and when the switches are thrown they will be running through the respective caps on the switches. Any help with a diagram for this would be much appreciated- particularly where to attach the ground for the tone switch caps! Thanks!
