    SV 1 kit, is it wired same as the Vintage Jem Set up

    HI fellas thinking of my next build....Yeah still got one going but bored waiting for it to cure...Question I want to get the SV 1 and will give it an 80.s swirl!!!...Question is, I know from reseach the original 'Monkey Grip' Jem pickups were wired to a 5 way switch BUT the way it was wired was, and for those who dont know, was this way..
    Bridge postion was Humbucker...4th postion was just First coil of the Bridge Humbucker...Middle position was middle single coil...2nd Positon was Single coil of Neck Humbucker..And 1st postion was Neck Humbuker..Are the kits thi or is it straight H S H....Thks In Advance.

    Hi HB, looking at the kit I would guess its same as a strat 5 way switch, so P1 - bridge bucker, P2, bridge bucker and middle single, P3 middle single, P4, middle single and neck bucker and P5 neck bucker. The kit pups won't be coil splittable so you will need to upgrade the buckers at least and get a copy of the wiring diagram.
