no worries Nitro, thats a pretty standard width, well bit on the thin side but sure you can make it work

Yea gonna give it my best shot, with lotsa help from this site of course.

As of now, (that could change at a moments notice, lol) i would like to get a set of Warman G_Rails, ive drawn up a wiring diagram and im wondering if theres someone who can just check it for me? Cheers


these are the same diagram just uploaded 2 in case one was clearer.

holy carp Nitro have those Warman G rails got 6 wires so you can split the rail plus split the humbucker ?

better wait for wiring guru Weirdbits will check your diagram, that's too complex for my Friday mind

I think it's your turn isn't it Wokks?

I'll take a closer look later but at first glance a couple of things look to be reversed. Is the sketch as viewed from the back of the pots/switches or the top?

haha Weirdy you make me laugh mate !

my mind doesn't work too well by Friday arvo so I'll have to take a rain check, maybe a 1 volume, 1 humbucker circuit I can help with ? hahah

The way the mini-toggles are wired (sort of) will link the humbucker rails with the single coil in parallel when in the middle position. Up and down will give you just the single coil or just the rails, respectively. Is this the layout you want? The other option is to have the rails and single coil linked in series for an extra high power triple bucker in the middle position, not hard to change if that's your preference.

Every On/On/On mini-toggle I've used has the contact sequence like the the image on this page . But, the Warman site sells switches which apparently have this sequence (which matches the layout in your sketch):

I'm not sure where you're getting your mini-toggles from, so your layout may need to change. To make your layout work with either type you just need to extend each of the red, blue and yellow wires across the two lugs at their level. So, the yellow and blue would both extend to the lug to their left, the red would extend to the lug to its right.

Your volumes' connections appear to be reversed and need to have the red and yellow lugs swapped. So, red wire to the right hand lug (as it's drawn) and the yellow wire (ground) to the left lug. Also, you don't appear to have drawn in the caps for the tone controls. They would just replace the yellow link to the back the tone pots.

You betcha, you can also have all 6 on at once!

Yes weirdy, from the back as you would solder it. Its only a rough one at the moment. Cheers

Thanks for that, im getting my mini toggles from warman guitars when i order the g rails. I would like one of the settings to have all 6 on at the same time in series if thats possible. Thanks again for your help
