New SD's!! Help!

[fatboywhitney]

I just installed a '59b and a2pron with nickle coversin my epi lp. Awesome.

I also installed a CTS SPST push pull tone pot for coil split at neck only. I also including orange drop caps. Everything is working wonderfully except that when I pull the switch to split the neck pup it seems as though the outer coil is off and the inner coil is on. I say this because when i tap the pole pieces with amp on, the exposed pole pieces are almost dead sounding and when I tap over the covered ones, I get amplified tapping. I would like the exposed pieces to remain on because they're closer to the neck and volume and tone should be slightly better.

Any suggestions? I'm going to try and post a link to the diagram I used. Remembering that I'm using a SPST and Neck only pup split.

Its pretty simple to change coils when split.

Instead of connecting the lowest right terminal to ground, connect it to the neck pickups hot lead. This is shown in the diagram above for the bridge pickup.

RIGHT ON! It works perfect. Now, I too, have tone. Rippin tone, blue tone, rhythm tone, and solo. thanks again.

by the way, this is an all together different guitar now. The real deal in tone.
