Wiring Help Needed...I am terrible at this.

Hey folks — I’m working on wiring up a custom guitar and I’m stuck.

I’ve got a Seymour Duncan TB-16 ’59/Custom Hybrid Trembucker in the bridge, plus two Seymour Duncan SL59-1 Little ’59s for the other positions.

The setup is:
  • On/Off/On DPDT switches for each pickup
    • Output should be: Down = Both coils on. Middle = Pickup Off. Up = split coils.
  • 1 volume, 1 tone
It seems simple… unless you’re me 😅

I tried drawing out the wiring diagram, but I keep getting turned around. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or share a diagram.

Thanks in advance!

I need help with a wiring project, seems easy for a electronics wiz.

Unfortunilty my expertize lies with line voltage,
or at least thats what my licence states.

Jeremy was gracious enough to get me this far.

A 5-way super switch is the way to control the following;

JB Jr. & SSL-4 tapped

So you can split the coil on the JB Jr. and tap the coil on the SSL-4T tapped, people use the terms interchangeably, but they aren’t the same thing electronically.

I’d probably want:

full & SSL-4 tapped
tapped & SSL-4 tapped
tapped SSL-4 w/ split the JB Jr.
full & SSL-4 tapped w/ JB Jr.
full JB Jr.

Any thoughts?

Maybe a push-pull somewhere in there?

Does it all make sense?
