Hey gang!
I got a mission-impossible build I want to try and pull off but my brain is about to explode trying to figure out how to wire it. Actually, I really have two.
If there is anyone in here who is really advanced with mods especially dealing with push-pull pots and 2 and 3-way mini toggle (DPDT) switches and willing to make diagrams I'd love to talk.
Could possibly even throw a little scratch your way if needed.
Basically, the two projects I am looking to do at the moment are pretty wild challenges at how many different tones I can pull from individual guitars (I've got so many standard builds that I am drawn to doing some off-the-wall stuff)
1. I've got an early prototype by Mike Lipe back when he was one of the two master luthiers at the Ibanez Custom Shop in California of the Ibanez Joe Satriani GoldBoy JS2 that just came out this year. It has an HSS configuration, no pickup selector switch, and two pots. I want to figure out how to do something like use a push-pull tone pot that not only is a master tone but also controls series vs parallel for the bridge when pulled up or something like that. Then use another push-pull for the volume that when pulled creates phase on the active pickups. Then just make each toggle switch operate as an on-off for each respective pickup.
Alternatively, I could be happy with using a 3-way toggle (on-off-on) for the bridge humbucker that functions as series/off/parallel/ and the other two be 2-way toggle switches for on/off of the single coils and then use only a push-pull on the tone to activate phase for any pickup that is switched on
I am open to other ideas as well.
2. If I can get away with adding a pic this time ($&%!) I would like to do something like what is shown on another axe but instead of on an HH configuration, I'd like to pull off something similar for an HSS. I'm willing to add a third toggle switch to the equation or whatever is needed/best. I could do this one just like it is right now also as I have plenty of pups and pickguards to boot but I think it would be fun to try and break the 42 tone barrier if I could manage it
The pic doesn't explicitly say this (I didn't create it) but it is basically an HH partscaster with two push-pull pots and two 3-way mini toggle (DPDT) switches
I'm a very visually oriented person so diagrams are preferred over just text.
Is anyone feeling up to the challenge?
Cheers
