    Default Hot Rails, Cool Rails, Hot Rails, 3 Dpdt On-off-on, 1 Volume, 1 Tone

    Does Any One Have A Wire Diagram For This? Or A Link To It? I Can't Seem To Find It. I Have E-mail Seymour Duncan A Few Times And They Never E-mail Me Back? I Want To Split Them.

    ???

    Just for clarification, three pups, a three way switch, 1 vol, and 1 tone? That would be pretty standard, in what way do you want to introduce splitting into the wiring scheme?

    ...another switch? Push/Pulls? 5-way super switch?


    ...amd welcome!

    Here's one way:



    On each switch, (the blue square), you have a choice:

    1. Connect the red jumper to ground to split to the north coil.

    2. Connect the blue jumper over to the other terminal to split to the south coil.

    Don't do both!

    The "normal" thing to do would be do the red jumper to ground on the neck and bridge, and do the blue jumper on the middle. That will make neck/middle and middle/bridge hum-cancelling.

    But he said he has on-off-on switches. Then it isn't a problem.
