HHH Tele 5-Way with Parallel In-Between Positions posted Dec 21, 2011, 2:18 PM by Steve Tucker [updated Dec 21, 2011, 2:19 PM] Here's another wiring setup using Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups (although any SD single coil sized humbuckers should wire the same). If these pickups are installed with the standard Strat switching, positions 2 and 4 give you 2 humbuckers in parallel. With this setup, positions 2 and 4 give you a single coil of one pickup in parallel with a single coil of the other pickup for a sound more like a traditional Strat in-between sound. A north coil of one pickup is combined with a south coil from the other pickup to maintain the hum cancelling properties of the pickups. In this version, Positions 2 & 4 also have no tone pot in the circuit. 5-Way Switching: 1. Bridge Humbucker 2. Bridge South Coil & Middle North Coil in Parallel - No Tone Control 3. Middle Humbucker 4. Neck North Coil & Middle South Coil in Parallel - No Tone Control 5. Neck Humbucker click for larger version HSH with S-1 for Strat or Modern PRS Switching posted Nov 17, 2011, 9:09 AM by Steve Tucker [updated Nov 17, 2011, 9:12 AM] I really like this concept. In the Strat mode, it switches like a typical single coil Strat. In the PRS mode, it switches like the modern 2 humbucker, 5-way lever PRS guitars. Position 4 in PRS mode also gives you something like the Tele middle position. That's a lot of versatility. 5-Way Switching: S-1 Up (Strat Mode): 1. Bridge Inside Coil 2. Middle & Bridge Inside Coil 3. Middle 4. Middle & Neck Outside Coil 5. Neck Outside Coil S-1 Down (PRS Mode): 1. Bridge Humbucker 2. Bridge Humbucker & Neck Outside Coil 3. Neck & Bridge Humbuckers 4. Neck Outside Coil & Bridge Inside Coil 5. Neck Humbucker click for larger version Modifying the Peavey Limited EXP posted Nov 5, 2011, 1:16 PM by Steve Tucker [updated Nov 5, 2011, 1:17 PM] This guitar is a great platform for modifying. It comes with 2 humbuckers, a 3-way lever switch, a master volume & a master tone. The control cavity is a rear route that has lots of space.  I drilled a 3rd hole for a rotary switch, replaced the volume pot with a push-pull pot, replaced the tone with my modified TBX tone control, and put a 5-way Super Switch in it. The rotary switch is 4-Pole, 6-Position switch that selects which pickup coils are active. click for larger version 3-Way Strat with Toggle Switch for Middle Pickup posted Nov 5, 2011, 12:58 PM by Steve Tucker [updated Nov 5, 2011, 1:01 PM] For people who don't use the "in-between" positions that much and want a simple 3-way pickup selector switch on their Strat. click for larger version The Fat Nash Tele posted Nov 5, 2011, 12:55 PM by Steve Tucker  [updated Nov 5, 2011, 1:01 PM] The Fat Nash Tele is a modified version of the Fender Nashville Tele. click for larger version
