HSH switched between SSS and HH

[phy7ajw]

Hi Chaps,

I've posted this scheme before, quite a while ago on the main forum, but I've recently drawn up a layout diagram to supplement the schematic and a nice chap responded to my website and suggested I post it on this sub-board (thanks John!). Hopefully someone will find it useful, interesting or just good for a laugh...

Full details can be found at my website.

This scheme switches a HSH guitar between two 'mode's, emulating the simple switching of either a Strat or a Les Paul:

Single-coil mode:
1. Neck (single)
2. Neck (single) || Middle
3. Middle
4. Middle || Bridge (single)
5. Bridge (single)

Humbucker mode:
1. Neck
2. Neck || Bridge
3. Neck || Bridge
4. Neck || Bridge
5. Bridge

Yes, I know you could do loads more with positions 2 and 4 in humbucker mode but I deliberately wanted to keep the options simple - I have a hard enough time playing, let alone thinking through pickup switching on the fly!

A pdf layout diagram can be found here.

Enjoy!
