Custom Suhr HH wiring help needed

[guitarnerdswe]

So, as I said in my other thread, it was leading up to this. I've tried to be as clear as possible with the lines and what the different positions and switches are supposed to do. I've also marked the polarity of the coils. A couple of little notes:

- All positions are supposed to be in phase and hum-cancelling.
- The mini toggle is only functional in position 3 and 5.
- The SSCII, which is Suhrs silent singlecoil system, needs coils with north polarity and normal wind to work, 
   (so no RWRP in a the middle positions of a strat, for instance).

Please look over it and feel free to correct me, come with suggestions etc. I'm also open for swapping out the 3PDT switch for a 4PDT if there is some potential benefit.

I'm having trouble vetting your diagram because the 3PDT switch's orientation is undefined. The 3X3 grid could be going up/down or side-to-side, in terms of where the commons are located.

Thanks for pointing that out. I updated the schematic to indicate the switch orientation.

I was looking at it the opposite way, so let me digest it now that you have clarified that. Maybe a day or two before I can get a good look at it, the typical holiday madness is intervening , , ,

No worries! I'm somewhat confident of most of it. The part I'm most unsure about is the mini toggle splitting to the outside coils in the middle position of 5-way lever. Particularly if the bridge is splitting correctly.

Merry Christmas!

you and I both... 


Right looked at Position 5 and 4 so far and happy >Just need a shower and take my mother to the shops<

Not seen a bleed like that before tho..

1) Neck HB
2) Neck North x SSC II
3) Neck HB + Bridge HB  ... Neck North + Bridge South
4) Neck South + Bridge North
5) Bridge HB ... Bridge North x SCC II

+ as AND and the x as A is Linked to B 

so looks like it should do

Thanks for your help! Just one thing. The bridge humbucker is supposed to split to the slug coil (north), along with the SSC II. Is there a mistake in my wiring, or was it just a typo in your reply? 🙂

Yeah, the bleed is kinda unique, but it works better IMHO than the more common ones. It's standard on Suhr guitars.

You said bridge south again. Now I'm confused 😕 Screw or slug coil?

Ah, now I saw the correction in your original reply. Thanks for the help!
