What are the possible wirings for a H-S-H guitar with one superswitch, one pull-push tone pot and a normal volume pot? No need for coil spliting or phase reverse, just series or parallel combinations. The middle pickup is a fender noiseless. Your help is highly appreciated!!! I was in fact trying to wire my pickups according to a previously posted diagram at , using the one that says "Here is a slight variation on the above, submitted by Mike after some discussion of it in the forums" on that page, but could not make it work

I've tried to do an HSH set up with a push-pull, but I can never quite get it done. If I can come up with something workable, I'll post it here.

Actually, I have a better one than that, but I can't afford $2k for 1,000 switches right now...

1000 Switches for one guitar? Now we're talking!
$2K, heck its still less expensive than a new LesPaul.

The switches are only $1.99 each, but I'd have to buy 1,000 of them since they aren't part of the seller's normal stock.

Well, they're nothing fancy. Just not the sort of thing most people want, I guess. I seem to be good at needing stuff most folks don't want...

Well, if you don't want coil splitting or polarity, any of the Mike Richardson schemes would be fine. When I built based on his first scheme, since I was using DiMarzio Virtual Vintage PU's, I was using an HSH topology. The H's were stacked hums, and the middle S was a stacked "noiseless" hum. ??

But my problem was that I could not adapt Mike's diagram for ("Here is a slight variation on the above, submitted by Mike after some discussion of it in the forums") for use with only one tone knob, also due to the fact that only the central part of the wiring was given, not detailed in every connection (for all the three pickups, superswitch, the pull/push and tone, and the volume. I am really lost here, anyone that can draw a more detailed diagram (designed for use with only one master tone knob) would be greatly appreciated! Thanksssssssssss

HMB, If you'll look a little further down that same page, Mike responded to a similar question. He said that the tone and volume pots were connected as in the previous diagram. the one prior to all the discussion. I for one feel that if you are not going to split the HB's, then just use the diagram as if your pickups were single coils, and you should be able to make it all work. Maybe it will even sound good, who knows? ;D Just make sure that any extra wiring from the HB's are unable to make any accidental contact anywhere in the wiring cavity. If this still leaves you in a state of confusion, just say so, and one of us will whomp up a diagram that shows everything. sumgai
