    I want to copy my Maton BB1200 circuitry into my PBG build.

    My Maton BB1200 has switchable humbuckers and each pickup has its own push/pull volume knob.

    It has a 3 way switch for neck / both / bridge pickups and a single tone pot.

    This must be a unique circuit as I can't find anything. But it's the perfect guitar circuit for my needs.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Muzza. Good chance Weirdbits has drawn up this diagram or can probably post you one.
    Think I can picture the circuit in my mind. Won't be too difficult. So you want to do this for your PRS build?
    Is the control cavity big enough for 3 pots?
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in

    Hey thanks Weirdbits. Looks like the business.

    Is there a standard colour code for North/South/start/finish?

    Haha, no. Each company does their own thing. Here is a handy (but incomplete) chart

    Have you got the Wilks yet? Last time I used them they were the "generic" two wire setup.

    Yep. They're an 'upgrade' with the centre tap.

    Funny. Last night I couldn't find a suitable circuit to save my life. Now that Weirdbits has helped me, I seem to have hit the 'Mother Lode'!

    I found this...

    http://www.guitarelectronics.com/cat...ring_diagrams/

    and it seems to have every configuration you could ask for.

    BUT... what's the difference between;

    and
    http://www.guitarelectronics.com/pro...-Parallel.html

    I just thought my guitar was humbucker with the push/pull knob pushed down, and single coil with the push/pull knob pulled up?

    Here's a really interesting video if your humbuckers don't appear in pablopepper's list. Like Wilkinson...
