Wiring a H-S-H guitar w/ 2 coil split switches for inner/outer coils

Re: Wiring a H-S-H guitar w/ 2 coil split switches for inner/outer coils

*if* that is your end goal (i.e. middle pickup In Parallel *only* when the humbuckers are split, and the middle pickup In Series *only* when the 2 humbuckers are not split), then are you aware that with a 4PDT switch you could accomplish both things with a single switch action vs your current plan where you have to flip 2 switches each time? Are you interested in doing this via just 1 switch?

I had no idea that was possible- and is probably something I might want to try in the future! But I figure, since the guitar does already have 3 switches, I can use this to play around with different configurations (split w/ series or parallel middle, humbucker w/ series or parallel middle).

I've never actually heard the middle in parallel with split humbuckers... so I'm just making an educated guess that it'll sound the way I like. I might want to try everything out before making a permanent decision.

Ok, for now, separate switches.

Amazing stuff. Never been so excited for a pickup installation. Should be ready later this week- will report back!

Eric,

I spotted something that needed to be changed. Use this version instead.
