      Hey Phil! How about making or repairing instrument cables. Mainly TS, TRS, and XLR? Seems like something that could be a useful skill since cables are so expensive and it seems fairly simple. Of course, not simple enough to not make a video about 😂

    Tomorrow my switch comes. I got the one you said you like best. I have an electronics background. (My father was a robot)... that's a joke.... so this looks incredibly easy. The Pups are TV Jones PowerTrons.... I will let you know if they sound good coil split or not. ....2 days later, yes! Excellent sound! These pups are hotter other TV Jones and I used the 500k pot. They sound noticeably closer to the Fender tone I am after. If you can afford a Fender then thats the best option but if $10 is all you can muster then this is a viable option.

    A couple of questions, 1) So you ignore the lugs on the “round” part of the pot entirely??? 2) What do you do if you have a second pot in a Les Paul or Explorer type installation? Do you wire both pickups to the single pot or do you do one to each and install two coil split pots?

    Thanks so much for this video. I got a used guitar and one of the wires came loose probably during shipping. The guy who soldered it might be the only man on Earth whose skillz with a soldering iron are worse than mine. Every lug had solder on it (I'm guess he installed via trial and error) so I had no idea which one the wire fell off of. Thanks again my guitar works but I'm probably going to take it to a pro and have this mess sorted out.

  • @MariaBethaniaCabrera
    @MariaBethaniaCabrera 8 месяцев назад

    Very useful tip and very well explained as always.
    I did this wiring with a mini switch and it's working fine. I can hear the change in tone and volume.
    However, I noticed that in split position the inactive/grounded coils produce a sound when tapped with a metal stick like a screwdriver or so.
    Is that a normal behavior? Or should I check my wiring?

    Oh my gosh Phil, you are literally are an answer to my prayers. I just finished a kit build and I ordered some guitar fetish pickups and their diagram is absolutely wrong according to your tutorial. Any chance you could confirm? They have a wiring diagram section on their website, I have 2 tones, 2 volumes, LP configuration with standard coil tap. Strange thing though the bridge is splitting just fine without grounding 1&3 (just 1 is grounded) but I needed to ground both 1&3 to get the neck to split. So confused, but so grateful for this very simple to understand tutorial to fix my issue

  • @spokes28

    Quick question for you: I’m doing a single humbucker instead of 2, but does it really not matter what side you solder the white and red wires to? Since I’m only doing 1 pickup I’ve seen some diagrams say to do it on the right, and some say on the left. But I guess it doesn’t matter? Is that right! Thanks !

  • @zonacrs
    @zonacrs 2 года назад

    Question for all. Is it typical to coil split on the volume pots or the tone pots on a LP style guitar? Asking because I really don't know. Just ordered a set of 4 conductor "hot" Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers 'under a P90' for my '59 re-issue Epiphone Gold Top". Also plan on adding a 'String Butler', Hipshot classic upgrade tuners and am super curious if the 8.5 mm Hipshot tuners will fit the factory headstock holes. The guitar is a late 90's/early 2000's Korean made Epiphone '59 Gold Top' with soap bar P90's. Any help and input would be appreciated.

    Great information, and simple enough explaning what to do. My only problem is that us older folks have hearing issues (among other things) and for me you talked really fast. It required me stopping and backing up a good bit so it ended up being a lot longer than it was. That's all. We aren't all young ladies and men 😉. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It is very much appreciated. 😁😎.

  • @sbrave
    @sbrave Год назад

    Where does the other end of the ground wire connect to? I have a PRS SE and just installed a Duncan Distortion, but I'm not hearing the split when I pull the tone pot. It seems like they have their black ground wire on the middle post, which doesn't seem right, but it had been working with the old pickup. Any idea?

  • @briw4647
    @briw4647 3 года назад +3

    I hear that if you Put a resister on the hot wire, from the push pull pot, about 7k you get a partial split. This partial split gives about 20% power in the second coil, meaning your split humbucker isn't as quiet as a normal one. This is the Franklin method

  • @Anshul1614
    @Anshul1614 3 года назад

    I got a newbie question, after I did this mod I found out both north coils were split, which is not the middle position tone i was going for. I wanted both outer coils. How do i go about doing it? I did it on the volume put with alligator wires and I just connected the one I wanted to change, to the hot of the volume. I just don't understand how to do the same on the tone pot.

  • @charlesg.1207
