SCHEMATICS NEEDED~

[zozoe]

Good evening all~ I'm looking for a schematic showing me how to wire my Strat w/5-way switch for 2 Antiquity P90's, bridge & neck, and a Little 59, splitting the coils when #2&4 positions (Little 59 north w/neck, & south with the bridge).

ALSO, if I may, the same thing except with a SD SSL2 in the middle. Pretty standard I s'pose, but this is me you're talking to. Thanks in advance to all my rocker friends!!
Oh yeah, 1 maste tone & 1 master tone, 2 pot, 3 way switch for STRAT foor this scheme.

Re: SCHEMATICS NEEDED~

I'm somewhat doubtful that your splitting options will be doable without use of a superswitch.....and maybe not even then. Swapping the coil that is cut to requires both hot and ground to be swapped as well.

Well, if that's the true case, I would settle on a single coil in the middle. Does anything need to be rw/rp? I would think the middle? Oh yeah, 1 maste tone & 1 master tone, 2 pot, 3 way switch for STRAT.

Re: SCHEMATICS NEEDED~

The RW/RP thing is interesting.......

I have a few sets of both p90's and strat singlecoil sets with and without that winding. And to tell the truth I never feel like the hum cancelling positions have the sparkle I want in the combined positions. If you gig in dodgey venues and want a position you can slot the switch into for during/between song buzz relief then I think its a very worthwhile option. For myself I always want the tone, so would never choose the hum cancelling singles if I had the option.

Oh, and with your wiring for p90 and a single in the middle you are just a stock 3 singlecoil strat wiring diagram. I assume you actually have a 5-way switch, but if its 3-way then the lugs are the same pattern anyhow, you just balance between setting for the notch tones.

You have too dark setup

I use almost solely middle position and they really kick up midrangey spank if you don't choke it. Conversely I don't use treble bleed and dial out excess sparkle in single positions with volume. That's where they sound their best.

Only rw/rp makes it 'dark';-)

My issue is that when you used to the nice open tone you get without rw/rp, anything else doesn't have 'it'. And I'm only ever using clean to vintage 60's drive level anyhow. So you hear everything......
