This is a wiring for a two humbucker guitar such as a Les Paul. It uses two 3 position DPDT switches of the "on-on-on" variety. Essentially it is one switch per pup which gives: 1 - Humbucker 2 - Outer Coil 3 - Off The twist in the tail is that when both pups are switched to "off" instead of getting no sound you get the outer coils in series. The tones provided by the set up are (the first switch is Neck): 11 - Both HBs in parallel 12 - Neck HB in parallel with Bridge SC 13 - Neck HB 21 - Neck SC in parallel with Bridge HB 22 - Neck SC in parallel with Bridge SC 23 - Neck SC 31 - Bridge HB 32 - Bridge SC 33 - Neck SC in series with Bridge SC Hope someone finds it handy!

Quite brilliant! What would the wiring look like? |

I think jhng just invented a notation for the two DPDT on-on-on switches.. the six blue blue dots are one switch's terminals, and the six red dots the other switch.. and their position on the diagram corresponds to their position on the switch body... is this correct jhng ??

The diagram is in traditional schematic form. The six red dots are the terminals on one switch the six blue dots are those on the other.
In each case the dots with arrows coming out of them are the poles and the two dots near each pole are the throws for that pole. The only innovation is that in each pair of throws there is one which has a little tag attached to it sticking out into the middle. This indicates that that throw is connected in the middle position.
If you wish to try this it is important to make sure you understand exactly how DPDT "on-on-on" switches work.
Chesh - Do you not see the pic?
