Wiring help

Re: Wiring help

Hey Brian; I was just going to work on this some more, when I realized that I'm not sure what you finally decided. Here's what it looks like to me so far:

You're going to use 3 on/off toggles, and 3 DPDT's that will either be on/off/on or on/on/on. Here's the breakdown of what we can do with this:

1. Using on/off/on:

Each pickup can split to either coil.
Each pickup will be individually controlled on and off.

2. Using on/on/on:

Each pickup can be either series, split, or parallel.
Each pickup will be individually controlled on and off.

Let me know if one of those is what you wanted, and I'll get right on it.
Won't take long to draw up either.

Artie,

I think number two.

Six toggles all together. Three of the toggles will be three way switches mid position will be humbucker top position will be the bridge side of the humbucker and bottom position will be neck side of humbucker. The other three toggles will control on/off of each pup individually. There will be a set of two toggles per pup.

I do not know which three way toggle to get?

If you give me your first and last name I will give you credit for the wiring diagram in the neck pocket and the info sheet.

Thanks Brian
 
Re: Wiring help

Ok, this should do it. All the switches only need to be SPDT, but two different styles. Coil split switches should be on-off-on, and the pickup selector switches should be on-on, (which you wire as on-off).

Like these:

You want the SWM-11 and SWM-12.

If there's anything you don't understand here, just ask. I tried to make it pretty easy to follow.

The key:

Let me know. ;)

Just a bit more clarity:

Edit: And, of course, depending on which way you want the handle to be oriented when something is "on" or "off", just rotate the switch around in its mount to make it how you want. ;)

Artie,

I got it. I could see some of it but not all of it. I thank you my guitar thanks you and my pickups thank you.

I do take it that the ground Is in the bottom right hand corner of the full diagram and I attach that to the back of the volume control?
