Hi all, I'm Ron. I'm fairly new to guitar building/wiring (I have more skill than technical comprehension FWIW, but get the basics of resistance etc) and need help planning my guitar's wiring. It came with a single Carvin C22B with coil tap switch, plus vol/tone knobs, so currently:
Volume Knob + Tone Knob + Tap switch.
I'm generally into VERY simple guitars, like with one knob, but as this is a rear-routed guitar with three holes in it, I need to fill the holes with something. I wanted to do volume knob + Black Ice and full bypass (straight to jack) on two buttons, like the old Ty Tabor signature. Anyone familiar with this specific sort of switch? Mouser has hundreds of pages of them, and I need to narrow it down quite a lot. I'm also opposed to other options, but think this is neat (and my love of uncomplicated guitar layouts has me cringing at the thought of wiring a varitone...)
The neck and all parts but body seem to be Carvin, so I have mini-pot mounting hole. I can ream the body for CTS/normal pots if need be.
Thanks!
