OK, thanks for the quick answer. I thought you had to have the north coil towards the middle pickup.

JohnHI'm more of a strat guy, so I like Rev. B better! You wrote; "The bridge single tone that it (Rev A) offers is the coil furthest from bridge, which has to be the same magnetic polarity as M in this design. This bridge coil sounds the best.Does this have any implication on Rev. B, concerning magnetic polarity? Is the bridge coil furthest from the bridge still the best, even for Rev. B? If it's important to have the same magnetic polarity for the bridge coil that's closest to the middle coil as the middle coil in Rev. A, and it's says in the comments for Rev. C. that's it's the same as Rev. A (but with SD colors), and the humbuckers North/South are shifted, it doesn't compute for me. What am I missing? Am I overthinking this?

All the diagrams work fine. When they make combos with a bridge coil and another coil, its always with the one that creates a humcancelling combo of a north and a south. Rev A only offers one bridge coil as a single on its own, and it needs to be the same polarity as M . You can chose whether this is the one nearest the bridge or the neck, by rotating the pickup, which is what francois did in Rev C. I think the one nearer to neck sounds best on its own though
Its about which coil you want to use and where it is. In Rev B, you have access to both bridge singles. When you go to toggle position 2 and 5 way pos 3, its the coil of the same polarity as as M. When you are in Pos 1 and fade down the blender, it will be the other coil, pink in the drawings. So if you want to have what i think is the better B single coil in that position 1 when faded down, then rotate your pickup. Its a choice you can make but it works either way

Hello JohnHI am a Japanese who want to try this wiring. But I want to change pickup configuration like this Bridge tele, Middle Strat, Neck humbucker I will have to transfer color of humbucker. But I think I don’t need to do anything expect it. Also I think to order tele and Strat pickups. To avoid changing wiring, which wiring direction and magnetic polarity is the best?

I will use dimarzio mini humbucker as a neck pickup.

But I think I don’t need to do anything expect it. Also I think to order tele and Strat pickups. To avoid changing wiring, which wiring direction and magnetic polarity is the best? All that matters is the relative polarities, ie, on the base drawing, N and M are different, but it doesn't matter which is north and south. The humbuckers has one of each. The diagram uses blue and pink colours to shown North and South (or the other way around). Also, you can seen which humbucker wires go to which coil. To make the hum-cancelling always work best, the M pickup is the same polarity as the bridge coil nearest it. For your SSH build, just a left right swap of all pickups could work. Really, so long as you get a humbucker of any type, and the two singles are opposite, you can make this work. Just need to work out the correct wires to use.

Thank you for the answer JohnH. I got an answer that the Dimarzio and They would both coils CCW. Also I order 2 single pickups as an North polarity CCW(Neck) and South polarity CW(middle) So it seems that I can make wiring without problem even I don't need to transfer wire color of Dimarzio Humbucker

North polarity CCW(Neck) and South polarity CW(middle) I meaned North polarity CCW(bridge) and South polarity CW(middle). I will use HB for neck pickup as I told you

JohnH Thank you ! Wow ! The tones are all here … Here is my first partscaster which started with a broken First Act from the dump. The pickups and tremolo were aquired by trading. I used a TBX tone control that I replaced the stock 82k resistor for 220k . What I could learn about the pickups are written and the back of the bridge plate. I sanded off the black plastic paint with a belt sander and mixed up some amber shellac. Lots of learning here. My biggest challenge now is to imprint in my thoughts what is happening with the switch and blend possibilities. I’d like to be able to choose what I want and then know how to get there without a chart. Of all the guitar Mods I’ve done this has been the most tone I’ve ever heard from one guitar. Again, THANKS! Jim

jimcorliss- Hello and Welcome to G-Nuts2!That's a nice build. I like the handwritten build notes on the back of the pickguard, I have not seen that done before. Very clever. Although, for darker pickguards it might not be as legible. But I will definitely consider adopting that technique. JohnH's schemes are top notch, and this one is pretty popular. Glad you're happy with it.

Hi Jim, thanks for posting, and congrats on getting this together.!
It's by far my favourite HSS scheme and it's still my daily player about 10 years later. For me, I mostly use the toggle in position 1, where B is the full humbucker. Then, I dial in a bit of added thickness to the neck using the blender. Then its all set and I can quickly swipe between my two favorite tones on the 5 way, at positions 1 and 5, and sometimes 4 which is basically the N+M sound (with a bit of B)

Thanks if you have a black pickgaurd I have used a whiteout that dispenses through a metal ferrule that can be used as a pen … the brush on whiteout would be messy. It’s permanent and looks good . The dispenser is blue … stuff goes on anything.

I will also print a copy of the schematic and a link to this thread and fold it up and leave it in the cavity for anyone later to understand the build.

Again, thanks. I’ll do this to other guitars also It’s a great circuit. So simple and didn’t take away from the look.
