my other thought is to get rid of the tone control (because it's always on 10) and have separate volumes instead of a master volume

Your diagram looks fine. With individual volume controls, they get wired as shown in the linked-to .pdf.

As for the saving money on the Freeway(s) and buying a crapload of switches, well..... To each their own, but me, I personally like a clean, uncluttered look. Contrast that to CheshireCat's Ultimate Utah, a working guitar that has been discussed many times here in the NutzHouse:  Obviously you'll want to fall somewhere in between..... I hope!  On a side note - that's one crazy guitar! I love the single-sized double coil in the full sized humbucker slot! How does he remember how to use all that?! Oops, I missed this one. The thing with the Utah is that it's actually 5 different systems (at least) on the same guitar. In that sense, it's actually very simple to use. Each system only has 2-3 switches/controls. Contrast that to a JazzM or Jag which has some 6-7 controls to basically make one or two sounds. For instance, all 10 sounds in the UUSS prototype come from a standard blade and a toggle. If you want splitting and phase inversion, that's just two more toggles (or sliders, in this case), and so on. Funnily enough, I'm working on a 13 string tapper (the Lucky 13), and these Free Way Switches seem like the perfect solution cuz it handles all the switching I'll need for each set of strings, and since everything I do requires two sets of switches each (one set for the bass strings and one set for the guitar strings), I want to keep everything as minimal as possible, and not have mission control. Iow, with a tapper, everything is going to look like mission control anyways, before you've even wired up your first vol pot, so minimalism is especially important, and that tapper will have, in fact, three different pickup systems - possibly 4-5 if I incorporate piezo. Also, if you look again at that PDF, which is some 7 pages, they offer all sorts of different options. What I'm using for the L13 is the coil split version. 1-3 is N, N+B, and B in full humbucker mode, and 4-6 is N, N+B, and B in split mode. There's not much more you can do with two humbuckers, unless you want to do phase inversion (which I don't on this project) or PRS switching, with inner coils vs. outer coils, which I think is gilding the lily at this point. As I don't have a middle pickup planned, I think this should be more than enough to work with. Chesh |
