Thread: special wiring !

  1. #1

    Question special wiring !

    Hello all,
    I'm looking for a correct wiring for a guitar I'm trying to renovate.
    I want to have a 5 position selector for 2 humbuckers :
    Position 1 : Bridge Alone (no split)
    Position 2 : Bridge splitted
    Position 3 : Bridge splitted + neck splitted
    Position 4 : Bridge + Neck (no split)
    Position 5 : Neck alone (no split).

    What do you think ? I didn't find something like that, but it's the config for my way of playing.
    Thanx in advance !

    Guillaume

    Which kit and which pickups? You'll probably need Grigsby 5-way super-switch but, depending on the the details, it may be possible with other another cofiguration.

    Thanks for your answer. That's for a guitar I already own (ibanez), I don't have a pitbull kit yet (in a few weeks I hope !)

    How many wires do your pickups have, 2, 3 or 4 (plus bare shield)? You'll need 3 or 4 wire pickups for splitting.

    You should be able to get close to what you want with an E-model Megaswitch (layouts/configs). If not, and depending on your pickups' wires, either a 2 pole or 4 pole Grigsby switch may be required as they have individual contacts for each position on each pole which allows more flexible configurations.

    Thanx Scott ! I own a splittable humbucker : tone zone (bridge) and the neck one will be splittable too, don't worry for that.
    I think I need a megaswitch ?
