So if I want to do this without the coil split, can I just wire the humbucker to the top of the volume pot, and everything else is the same

0.022 wins! If opened, more bright. If closed, almost equal the two others.

Seems clear till you try it. Not all switches have split lugs , labeling them then not having the lugs marked is confusing

It's dumbed down to my level. Easy to follow with only info needed. It's a simple process not made more difficult by talking about things that don't apply here. Thank you for not taking 40 min to teach a 10 min tutorial.

what values are the capacitors used, please ?
@bigdave639014 күн бұрын
I don't know if anyone will read this 11 years later, but I'm looking at my Grote Les Paul import and the capacitor on the tone pots (all 250k) go from lug 2 to ground soldered to the pot. And lug 1 isn't soldered to the pot. It goes to lug 3 on the volume pot. I'm no expert tech so have no clue what I'm looking at. It sounds ok for now. Will be upgrading the pups and pots soon.

Do the tone pots affect still the individual pickups in middle position as in positions 1 and 3 or do they both influence both pickups? What does the ground do in the selector switch?

I have three wires from the pickup and here I see that only two are connected 🤔
@bcmhayesАй бұрын
Great video! Will definitely help me get through my first rewiring. Wondering: what if I have a toggle switch to split the coils, rather than a push-pull? Will that make a huge difference? I know this is an old video, so getting a response is a long shot, but it’s worth a try.

I have a, ask how would it apply if my guitar circuit has phase inversion switches? Because it has 3 mini switches that are responsible for reversing the polarity of each pickup, but I want to add the parallel series system

Hey good afternoon, how r u? what's the difference in sharing a capacitor between two pots compare to two separate capacitors?
@spokes28Ай бұрын
? I used new pickups, new CTS pots and new orange drop capacitors, and wired it 50s style. I only get sound when the volume is up all the way and then only very low sound. Same on both. I have checked the grounding, pickups, capacitors with a multi meter. Would you have any thoughts on this? Thank you.

Great video and thank you for sharing. I am working on one of my guitars today and will be using your method.
@calvinmasters6159Ай бұрын
Clever, but this is going down the path of diminishing returns. Passive tone control can only go so far. To be serious, one need a built-in 3-channel lo-med-hi active bandpass filter.

The switch on an aging guitar can get twitchy. That's embarrassing onstage. The new switch purchased online looks a bit different, so thanks for the tutorial.

I have an HSS (auto split mod position #2) with the tone knob closest to the volume assigned to both the neck and middle pickups. The bridge pickup gets its own tone knob-the one closest to output jack. I don’t want to misquote you. I was understanding you saying you can’t have two pickups and one tone knob with an HSS autosplit mod/position #2, but actually you CAN. I have an HSS with that mod and specifics. Or were you saying that with your particular preference or for the purposes of your diagram, you can’t have two pickups and one tone knob with your your particular diagram?

Middle position with chorus is heavenly. Would love an es 335 with these pickups.

I am assuming that in this diagram, you are using a rotory type of 5 way switch. How do I use this same procedure using a inline type of 5 way switch such as in a Ibanez rg series, ( hsh with emg hz pickups & a inline 5 way switch)?

@giulioluzzardi76322 ай бұрын
At 4mins 53 seconds Don has been kind enough to show us the quickest, neatest and for some reason less harsh sounding version of the Original " 50s" wiring that most electrics used back then. If you can find a nice big yellow paper in oil capacitor ( Jensen .1uf) the Guitars tone becomes more percussive with a natural compression. If you are happy with the sound the way it is then leave it alone.

Thanks very much for your DIY video!❤ Very well thought out step-by-step instructions and drawings. I wired my Seymour Duncan Everything Axe pickups. The mod works extremely well. What a step up! For the first time, my Strat is sounding like one. I also like your choice of capacitors for this mod. The change of tones are just right for me.
