Hi I found this thread in a Google search for neck and bridge series only in position 1, there aren't many other hits out there! I can follow most of the thread and the wiring etc and am looking at v1.1I have one question though, regarding leaving hot connections hanging with that version and would appreciate some clarification if possible as I have tried to trace the wiring in each position and can't see which hot connections would be "hanging" in which connection ?Many thanks. You won't find any hanging-from-hot issues in v1.0 or v1.1. Only in v2.0 and 2.1. Ha ha! Thanks, my eyes were hurting from reading the chart one way then a other etc etc trying to find the "hang"! Fantastic, v1.1 with the jumper it is then - all positions standard except bridge which can blend in some neck in series - perfect. The Armstrong scheme blends in Middle rather than neck, so will look at that as well. Thankyou all again!

Apologies everyone, being thick here! I still can't see in 2.1 where the hanging connection is in position 5 (neck only). When the blend pot is turned to be resistive between the two connected lugs I see the bridge pickup hot and ground wires basically shorted to hot side, leaving just the neck. When the two blend pot lugs are shorted then the path has neck and bridge in series. Not seeing a hang

But it's still amounts to a lump of unshielded metal on hot, poking outside the cavity shielding. So it might collect a tad of emf from somewhere, but its really not a significant issue. When it occurs, we also have the fader fully fading one pickup and the other is providing a single-coil tone as expected, and with all the hum and buzz that comes with that, which we also accept.

Thanks John, now I have that concept in my head - basically an ungrounded "aerial" on hot then that makes a bit more sense. I'll go back again and try to follow the schemes
