Need help wiring a new project.

[hillerheilman]

So the guitar I want to build has two humbuckers with triple shot switches, and a p90 in the middle. I want to have a 6 way rotary switch(standard strat positions + neck and bridge) and a push pull to phase switch all the pickups. And then it'll all go to an endpin jack. Is this even possible? The triple shots are self explanatory but I'm unsure how to wire the push pull, especially with the p90. Not to mention the rotary switch, which just confounds me completely.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A single push/pull won't flip the phase on 3 pickups. You can flip the phase on one pickup, but that will still leave at least one combination that won't be out of phase.

Endpin jack? What kind of guitar is this? Some Godin/Taylor acoustic/electric type?

So I could only switchthe p90 for example? It's actually a custom thing I'm having made by a wonderful guy on the offsetguitar forum.

Yes. Flipping phase of one pickup will take up all six lugs of a push/pull - because you are swapping the hot and ground in the up/down positions.

So would the p90 have to be 4 conductor then??

No. Two conductors is all you are flipping. But one way on the switch you are connecting hot to hot and ground to ground. The other way you are connecting hot to ground and ground to hot, in order to flip the phase. That's all six lugs on your switch.

Oh okay I see. Thanks. Any idea how to do the rotary switch?

There are different rotary switches. I don't know what you have, but you'll need a diagram of what lugs are connected to which lugs on it.
