    2 hours sleep what you been doing DB, back pain ?
    just trying to work out the arrangement, so is that a 5 way switch that coil taps ? can't see any push pull pots or other switches.
    I've never coil tapped that way, did you follow a Weirdy wiring diagram ?
    please post the wiring diagram if you can please

    Not familiar with this per se, but the circled connections appear to be joining the wires from the same cable.

    pretty hard to see Rabbitz which wire they are coming from. The left red circle do you mean the single red wire or what looks like 2 white wires ?

    good one DB, so were you lifting heavy gardening supplies without your brace ?

    you won't do that again.

    I wouldn't even attempt a wiring job after 2 hours sleep

    Wok, what I meant was the green and white wires are soldered together at the lug, if you trace them back they come out of the same cable.

    Thus the green & white on the right, both come form the same black cable, the green and white on the left come from the same white cable.

    Of course that could be correct if they are the centre tap, I suppose.

    The green and white wires are the coil taps from both 'buckers.

    no worries DB I thought so. So how many positions does the switch have DB ? I am assuming its a 5 way switch so you can coil tap ?

    Woks, it's a 3-way so you'd have: Bridge (hum), bridge (split) + neck (split), Neck (hum)


    Sorry I was late to the party DB, glad you got it sorted.
    Scott.
