Greetings travelers! I know, long time, etc. Working for a living is overrated and has cut deeply into the impant stuff like building and playing guitars.
So I dug out the stack of "in-process" axes and started staging parts and lay outs for a couple of HHs. My standard HH wiring scheme is the HBD:
guitarnuts2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=nutzoid&action=display&thread=3778&page=1
Tried, true, subtle and viciously beastly. (Thank you John H!) However those 4PDTs take up some control cavity landscape that a couple of these HH bods appear not to accommodate. I will still try to wedge the HBD in these, but there a 60% chance I will abandon that idea. I could get the switch arrays in, but it would crowd out fat-finger space on the outboard knobs and switches. Still have to play the thing, after all.
So as a fall back I would like to explore the challenges and options for a different array.
My first build ever, many years ago, and before I found GN2, used DPDTs - on.on.ons for each humbucker, giving local series, single, parallel for both the neck and bridge pups. Long ago I discussed these and John found them too "fiddly" but I still have the guitar I tried them on and they are ok.
Topside the configuration would look something like this:
Operationally it would look like:
I started a wiring diagram but exceeded my skills there in mere minutes.
I believe I remember something about the Neck single North and Bridge single south combo would be non-humbucking. And of course the Humbucker / single coil combos would be partially non-humcancelling.
Could I beg for some help? Purty Please? Unless this already exists somewhere on the site, of course.
Thanks Gents.
