Epiphone B King Lucille upgrade

[henning777]

Currently I have an Epiphone BB King Lucille I want to update with new set of pickups:
Two Seymore Duncan Prails with trippeshots humbucker rings and also a Fischman Piezo Powerbridge...
The standard pots will be replaced with pushpull pots.
I would like to have three volumes and a master tone...


The Varitone switch might be replaced with the Fishman Power chip for the use of the Fishman Piezo between the Seymore Duncan pickups...
I also bought a battery pack and it will be installed on the back cover....i check gor space and it will be enough...


The three way toggle switch will be replaced with a Six way Freeway so I can have the following tone combinations...


Use the Six way freeway switch to activate the Fishman pickup


Neck on it’s own
Piezo on it’s own
Bridge on it’s own
Bridge and Piezo combined
Neck and Piezo combined
All pickups combined…


I bought all the pickups, switches and pots already and only need the diagram to continue the rest......

Freeway 6 toggle is their own design
So maybe best to go to their site and find the plan from so many great plans they have

I'm not familiar with the Fishman "power chip" but I assume this is some type of active preamp for their piezo system.

As several folks have said here in the past, combining passive magnetic pickups with an active piezo system typically results in an impedance mismatch. Better results are obtained by having a preamp buffer all the output, magnetic and piezo pickups alike. Not sure if there is a way to run everything throught the Fishman unit or whether you'd need a separate preamp for the mag pickups. Similarly, having a master tone control for the 2 magnetic pickups is straightforward, but to have the control also deal with the active piezo circuitry will pose some hurdles.
