I don't think I have any one diagram for all the mods I'd like to try on my LP copy, so I may end up using several different "maps" to get where I wanna go. I think I saw a similar thread not long ago, possibly about wiring DiMarzios. Of course I can't find that now, so would somebody give me a quick tutorial on the differences between the switch shown in www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/hum_vol_tone-w-sers_para.html and that shown on the right-hand side of Wolf's www.1728.com/humbuck5.gif? I know the visual differences, but I'm just trying to figure out the pros and cons of one method over the other. (Given a choice, I would probably go with a GN design.) Is it possible (or practical) to add another on/on/on toggle for the neck pup (series/parallel/shunt), plus one for series/parallel/out-of-phase for the pair? (I have other plans for the four push/pull pots, and am running out of room for toggles, so probably won't try to have an option for any pup out-of-phase with itself.) The toggles might simplify my life by taking the place of the 6-way rotary I was thinking about before. It seems to me that it's kinda like the Tone Monster, with one less pickup but more possible ways to use each pup. Would an on/on/on work for both pups parallel out-of-phase/in phase/series out-of-phase? (Not to throw in another switch or anything, but . . .) Is it possible to wire it so that the center position would be the in-phase setting? Would the three-way (pup selector) work with a single "phasing" switch for neck, bridge, or both? Is this more questions than anyone's asked in one post in recent memory? Yes, I have way too much time on my hands, but this stuffkeeps me off the streets and (mostly) out of mischief. ;D -- Doug C.

Mini-Strat_Maine For one thing, you are just linking to a graphic on my website. Some website owners get angry at that sort of thing, but when it's a message board I try to allow a little leeway. Anyway, did you just find that graphic? Did you go to this page www.1728.com/guitar.htm and read the entire section about humbucker wiring? It's late so I really can't think too well at the moment. Anyway, look at that article again. Incidentally, I prefer my switching a humbucker to that of the Seymour Duncan method because I think it is easier. Also it looks neater when drawn.

Oops, sorry about that. It was easier to point to that one image than to try and describe its location on the page. Yep. And re-read the section on switches. Would " terminally confused" be too much of a groaner? You may have noticed that sometimes I don't think too well regardless of the hour. ;D That works for me. I just wondered if I was missing something about the jumper across the top two terminals, vs. one from "left center" to "top right." I think I'll stick with your method.

good thing doug didn't do what i did in another thread (include the image, not just the link, within the post) that would have really ruffled your feathers fur.
