wiring schematics

[SDMFer]

I've got a guitar I got from a friend that trashed the wiring trying to replace the pickups. It originally has 2 single coils and a humbucker with 1 tone and 1 vol pot and a 5 way blade switch. Since I've taken over, I've bought 2 GFS (seymour duncan copy) "hot rails" humbuckers and a 'Dimebucker...I've looked thru the SD wiring page and couldn't find my set up...Can someone out there help me out?oed:

Re: wiring schematics

Depends on how you want to split them, ie only in the 2/4 positions, or manually so they can be split independently of the 2/4 positions

This is for manual splitting

This is if you want humbuckers only

If you want the middle pup to be split in the 2/4 posi too (ie 1 coil from the middle and the other from either bridge or neck) then you'll need a super 5-way switch

Re: wiring schematics

Thanks...I must have looked over it...now question #2: what are the advantages and disadvantages of shielding the pickup and switch cavities?
