Hi everyone,
Yesterday I finally decided to buy a TB-4 to upgrade my Fender American Special HSS (synchronised tremolo) after having played many years with the disappointing Atomic Humbucker.
I purchased also a push push potentiometer for the coil split. As you understood, I don’t want the 5 way selector hack but to be able to use single coil or humb sound blended with the middle position single coil.
More exactly:
-If the humb is splitted, I’d get
1 Bridge single coil (splitted)
2 bridge single coil (sp) + middle single coil (for a typical 2nd position strat sound)
3,4,5 as usual.
-If the humb is not splitted:
1 Bridge humbucker
2 bridge humb + middle single coil (I don’t know what kind of sound I would get, feel free to advise me)
With this wiring I could have the split without giving up the typical 2 pos strat sound.
Searching online for some solution I’ve seen nobody doing it, so I have some question...
Is it actually possible to obtain the aforementioned wiring?
And does it make any sense?
If both answers are yes (i know... lol) would you have any tips for the wiring or can suggest me some material to learn?
As you understand I’ve never modified the electronic in my guitar, so I don’t really know what to do but I’d really like to do it by myself...
Thank you very much in advance for any help!!!
