Which Diagram?

[f22]

Im wiring up a guitar with HSH, 1vol 1tone and 5-way switch config. I have a cool rails in the middle so would this diagram give me the neck and bridge humbucker split with the full cool rails in the 2 and 4 position? http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/3lh_1v_1t_5w.html

Re: Which Diagram?

A Coolrails is a single-coil SIZED humbucker....

Normally, when people refer to "HSH", it's understood that the order is Neck, Middle, Bridge.. As such, HSH means that there is a HB in the neck, an SC in the middle, and another HB in the bridge.... A SSH would be like a Fat Strat where 2 SC's are in the neck and middle, and a HB resides in the bridge.... Just to help void confusion....

I assume that you are installing a CoolRails in a guitar that formerly had a SC in the middle position

Anytime the red-white wires are soldered together and taped over, there is no splitting going on...

Here is one that shows a Middle SC, but if you wire it according to diagram and just solder/tape the red/white leads from the Cool Rail, it will ALWAYS be full HB when selected... The neck and bridge would be split when selected in positions 2 and 4... In positions 1 and 5, they would be full HB...

Hope that helps....

Re: Which Diagram?

f22, i don't think that diagram you linked to gives you splits in 2 and 4

the one that gordon linked to should get you what you need

good luck
