    Default Need help with wiring ASAP!!!! PLEASE

    I am currently wiring up a bit of an odd set up with 3 pups. Here is the way it needs to go:

    (neck) humbucker
    (middle) single coil
    (bridge) humbucker

    volume, volume, NO tone, 3 way fender style blade switch
    Here's what I want: 1 volume for the bridge and 1 volume for the middle(single) and neck. Each pick up has it's own position on the switch(down for bridge pup, middle position for middle pup and up position for neck pup.

    please help me with doing this right

    not sure how to do that off the top of my head.

    the neck and middle sharing the same volume is the issue

    I'm not 100% sure but like 90% sure that this would be right.

    Now the "volume" pot will be the bridge volume and the "tone" pot will be neck/middle volume. I have no idea if there will be a pop when you change from bridge to neck or middle cause of the switching but this should work. But you maybe wanna check this with someone who will know for sure it'll work or just experiment.

    Also you can put the "bridge white" wire and the wire coming from the bridge volume (to the next lug) and change them to each others place. It doesn't matter but it would be more sophisticated. Actually you might wanna do that anyway.

    two volumes? no tone?

    your switch has two poles

    one volume to either switch poles common

    the neck/middle wired as in zhaggy's diagram
    the bridge too

    Edit
    Swap the volume and bridge as shown in Zhaggy's diagram




    tis cool

    Got it!!!! Finally figured out the perfect way and got it finished. Works wonderfully. One cool feature is if on the bridge pup and the volume for the M/N is off you can do some neat "stutter" effects, ala Ace Frehley. Not sure if I would do it on a every night, every other song basis as I am not sure if blade type switches are as durable as standard 3 ways.

    Anyways, I am stoked that I finally got my wiring finished.

    pups being used for this install were: Seymour Duncan TB-4 reverse(JB) bridge, S1 middle and Seymour Duncan '59 neck

    Did you change anything from Zhaggy's diagram or is that confirmed as being a working wiring for this?
