push/pull pot

[Boston Joe]

Well, after hours of research, I have to ask: what would be the most plausible way to wire a bridge humbucker to a push/pull pot for series/parallel operation (pull being parallel), no tone, and connected to a 5-way Strat switch? Pictures help! :laugh2:

Thats is the closest I can come up with. Instead of running the black connection from the dpdt push pull to the volume pot as shown, run it to the terminal on the 5 way switch that the bridge pickup normally connects to. The output of the 5 way will be run to the volume pot outer non-grounded terminal and your output jack hot connects to the center volume pot terminal.

I hope that helps.

Thanks, Robert!

It's coming together... I had a similar problem with coil-splitting where several different schematics contradicted each other.

You're welcome Joe.

This one is modified slightly to show just what you want, and with the switch turned around so that parallel is with the switch "pulled".

Wow! Thanks, Artie! That is exactly what I need! I'm using two HS pickups as well in the guitar (one is a dial-a-spin set up).

Can't thank you enough!

You're welcome. But keep in mind, I only did a couple mods to an existing SD drawing. Someone "over there" did most of the work.
