Can any help me in wiring a Seymour Duncan Triple Shot mounting ring with a Bill and Becky Lawrence L500-XL Pickup?
Tried a couple of variations and yet to find the correct solution!

ED-
Sorry, but I had to move your question, it doesn't belong in Design Modules, because it's not a finished design.
How many wires on the pickup in question?

Hi Newey
The pickup has 5 wires; Black, White, Green, Red and Blue.
I think the Blue wire is the ground as this should be wired with the Black and the White wire is the hot, as per the actual 'Bill Lawrence' website. I have tried wiring all other combinations with the triple shot and still cant get it to work.
Even tried a friends Seymour Duncan pickup which worked first time. with the triple shot.
Help!!!
Dave

Red North Start White North Finish
Green South Start Black South Finish
Attach the bucker's Red wire to the triple shot's Black location White to White Bucker's Green to triple shot's Red Bucker's Black to triple shot's Green Blue to the GND
If that doesn't work, halp?
Oh yea, please post a review of the triple shot after a week or two of using it. I was looking at getting them, but the project I would have used them for was prematurely cancelled. Go figure, college costs money!

Those Triple Shots are not cheap - if you want to try building it yourself, I found this at www.1728.com/guitar5.htmIn any event - Good Luck! Peter ------------- Favorite country song titles: You Were Only A Splinter As I Slid Down The Banister Of Life

We had a discussion when the Triple Shots were first being released last year. ChrisK and I were splitting an order. Then, they were back ordered, then later they were recalled by SD; apparently they weren't yet ready for prime-time: guitarnuts2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pup&action=display&thread=4157That was in June 2009, then Chris died, and so I never got one. The wiring scheme is a binary tree switching arrangement. My 4Caster uses a "double binary tree" scheme to control 4 pickups (wired as 2 sets of 2).

PeterRabbit I see you have discovered the 2 SPDT switching diagram from my website. You even had me wondering if I mentioned Triple Shots in that web page. I didn't but maybe I should. Oh, and I think I'll make that diagram a little bigger, as you did. ******************************************* EDITED TO ADD: I checked archive.org and it has a copy of guitar page 5 back to Oct 2007 (maybe even earlier). Since Triple Shots™ have only been around for about a year, it's not like I stole any secrets. Hmmm I wonder if they stole that idea from me.

Wolf: If I didn't have SO much respect for Seymour, I'd say SUE! But, as it is, you might want to ask for credit where due. I'm sure he'd be amused.

I have one of those Triple Shot rings, just waiting for the P-rail pup to come in the mail. The TS uses a pair of DPDT switches, haven't compared them to see the difference, but if you were to go the DIY'er way, the SPST is easier. Since it's SD's design, they set it up so the wiring is bottom coil to the top coil. neck is inner to outer, and bridge is outer to inner Read how some ppl cut off the ring, screw it to the strat p'guard and just use the switch itself.

I hope to wire two triple shots with two humbuckers with the following superswitch combination:- (+ = Parallel and x = Series)
1) Neck 2) Neck + Bridge 3) Neck x Bridge (Series Out of Phase) 4) Neck x Bridge 5) Bridge
This will give 56 pickups combinations
Pos 1 neck = 4 Pos 2,3 & 4 = 3 x 4 x 4 = 48 Pos 5 bridge = 4 total 56
Obviously some will sound similar to others especially the split single coils with the other Split single coils.
As anyone tried this already?
