    Default What can I do with 2 HBs and a standard 5-way?

    I'm fixing up the strat with a PATB-1 and a Cool Rails (i think). I am undecided on what wiring I'm gonna do but I don't want anything super complicated because I've discovered that for my purposes, it's usually more trouble than it's worth. But is there any splitting or anything I can do with a regular 5 way or would I have to get a super switch for that? (in which case I'll just get a 3-way and be done with it!)
    Thanks!

    This is probably one of the best configurations you can do with set up:

    2hb_1vol_1tone_5way

    Even though your neck pup is a Cool Rails, the wiring is the same. Its five nice sounds out of two humbuckers and a 5-way.

    yeah man i mean, you have 2 notch positions, so you could have like

    1 - bridge slug coil
    2 - full bridge
    3 - bridge screw coil
    4 - neck & bridge screw coil
    5 - full neck

    or something like that. I wouldn't mind losing my middle position but that's just me
