Hi there
As you’ll see from my activity I’ve not been on here posting for a very long time, however this forum has always been a fantastic resource for the budding modder and I’ve always found the advice from the knowledgeable regular posters to be invaluable.
With that in mind I thought I’d share my current plans for a guitar I’ve working on at the moment. It has space for 3 pots and 4 mini switches, with no space for strat/tele/Gibson style levers. It has stock pickups of HSS.
I’m looking to put as many options into the guitar as possible. Partly for fun, partly curiosity, partly to create a “pick up and go” guitar for when I’m late to rehearsal and don’t have time to pack up pedalboards and main guitars.
I’ve also got a treble booster circuit and an N-Tune onboard tuner I’m planning on putting in there.
So I’ve attached the image below which shows what I’m trying to achieve, and the wiring that I think will achieve it.
I guess I’ve got two questions before I order all the parts and get out the soldering iron:
1. What have I done wrong, where have I made some rookie mistake in my wiring diagram, maybe creating a load of unwanted hum or some surprise off positions (there should be two of those!)
2. Any thoughts on the wiring itself or things you’d change if it were you?
I calculate this gives 40 unique pickup combinations plus 2 ways to kill the sound, as well as the various volume and 2 band tone controls, plus tuner and treble booster. Not the most convenient guitar to borrow but should be some fun to piece together and play!
Thanks everyone
