Another Breja ToneWorks DIY Video. This time I'll show you how to wire a HH style guitar using the Modern Wiring and adding a Phase Switch into the controls via a Push/Pull switch.
Hi, I just discovered the valuable resource you created here, with everything presented in such a logical clear sequence. I hope the lack of any further videos is due to you choosing to spend more time playing, rather than any unfortunate circumstances. Thanks for all that's here.
Hi Don! firstly thanks for your videos, they have helped me a great deal over the last year or so. i had a problem which i since solved simply by trial and error and not really understanding electronics. I can really only follow instructions, so when a problem arises it gets pretty baffling. Im the sort of guy that likes to try and figure shit out. Anyways, was hoping you could simply shed some light on my most recent mod. I upgraded a friends strat. He gave me three individual silver lace sensors (3 wires, orange(hot), green and white(grounds)). I found your most brilliant mod, i think it was called the mod con, where not only did you have the blender pot but also a series switch for the bridge and middle pups. I followed the instructions and found that any position which combined the middle pup was out of phase (which i dont mind, but my friend didnt want). To cut a long story short. The only way i could get the middle back in phase was for some reason swap the hot back to the selector switch and the grounds back to the pot just like the bridge and neck pups. Also i had to rotate the middle pickup. I suppose if i had a magnet and knew how to use a multimetre i would be much better off. Now i couldnt really find any useful help with and of Lace's resources. I did notice that they do a reverse wound reverse polarity option though. should the middle pup on this upgrade always have been rw/rp for your wiring diagram to have worked without my changes? I hope this message finds you well and that you may be able to unravel this mystery for us all. keep up the great work
Thanks Don, your videos are the most sensible and easy to understand than any I've see. I've learned a great deal from your videos. Keep up the good work. Just a question, I presume we can integrate this circuit into the vintage wiring on a Gibson?
Don - thanks a bunch for all the effort on the video wiring. Best I've seen!! Have you done any videos on coil tapped SSS strats? I'm rewiring mine with some new pickups that has a coil tap (3 wires) in the bridge pickup. Ideally I'm looking to put that through a DPDT pull push pot.
hh dk2m jackson guitar 3 way switch, the newer ones have a 5 way switch seymour duncan wiring call it super switch, that is wired in series I wanted to add the parallel option to that 5 way wiring. thanks a lot
Could you do a video on how to wire phase switching where the guitar has 2 volumes , but only one push/pull tone knob. My guitar currently has coil splitting, but I want to rewire to phase switching instead. Thks.
Damn, I just discovered this channel last night. Almost 3 million views, according to the "About" page. Last upload is over 3 years ago. I hope you return. I have an Agile AB-3500 (28” 6 string guitar) upgraded with active EMG pickups. Something doesn't sound right when I play it (I'm betting something is outta phase) Forunately I believe I have plenty of electronics to have a little fun: 2 EMG 89 humbuckers w/coil split, EMG X single, 1 vol push/pull switch, 1 tone push/pull switch, one final tone knob, and a 5-way selector switch. Can anyone help me find this guy?
You can usually find it at Seymour duncans website.....they have lots of configs if you don't find it here. He hasn't answered any of my questions for years.
@@mannypelayo7370 Here's one....if you don't mind two dpdt switches. www.seymourduncan.com/wiring-diagrams?meta_params=other-misc,wiring-misc You can add a push pull for the out of phase. The wiring is on the SD site.
Hi Breja! I'm very thankful for your explanations, I hope that you can help me out with a simple problem that i am struggling with: I have an import type 5 way switch and a telecaster. I'd love to hear my tele "stratting" by making that "out of phase" sound, but I dont find any good explanations, hope that you can help me!
Sorry, but i wired a Les Paul as shown, but when using the push/pull, it on and off. No sound at all when pulled. I do have older pickups with braid and 1 hot wire. Any Help!?
I'm just commenting on this video because it's your latest on your site. Just wanted to know, if you knew, that G&L actually offers the 7-way switch mod. When you look at a G&L that has that little red toggle switch that's the 7-way mod
hey mate.. very good clear instructions.. just wondering if u would know how to wire one of these or how to bypass it? how to wire up WIRING HARNESS KIT - 2V/2T 3 Way Switch for LES PAUL LP Gibson C HB
Don, I appreciate your videos. I'm just getting interesting in guitar wiring so I'm hungry for info. Is there a book you recommend for a basic understanding of guitar wiring, electronics, etc.?
Hi Don, I've watched a couple of your videos and I think they're great, however do you have any videos on series/parallel wiring on a HH guitar with 1 volume and 1tone .
I love your videos amazing content, I would like to ask yo for help, My guitar comes with 2 humbuckers, a 3 way switch, 3 knobs and 2 mini 2 way switches, it used to have a sustainiac system, I would like to have master volume, 2 tones, coil split in one switch and phase invert on the second switch, could you please help me? Thank you 🙏
Hey brother, love what you do. I’m trying to wire up a three pickup les Paul custom. Began it’s life as a two pickup Ibanez, which I modified with a middle humbucker. I had it connected to a push pull pot but wanted to do it straight vintage. I cannot find a wiring diagram anywhere for it and was wondering if you could help?
breja luv your videos , bro. i have a problem, unique sitch, a new epi les paul 3 push pull pots with connectors customer want new seymore pickup , can i clip and match color wires together ? please help ...
Hi, Breja. I have an Epiphone Bob Marley, in which I put two gibson humbuckers pickups (490 model). I want to do this wiring in my guitar. I was told I would have to take out the pickup case. All right. My pickups have only two wires, the outer ground and the inner positive. Would I have to unsolder the outer ground from the plate of the pickup? When I say "plate", I mean the metal base where the pickup is mounted, where the screws that regulate the height go. Thanks
helo. i have just purchased a 2/6 rotary switch an wanted to do a quite advanced wiring scheme with h/s/h v t with push/pull 3way switch and that rotary switch. I think that you could get quite som combinations. any suggestions where I could get those diagrams or as a future video berhaps? thanks for the inspiring videos!!
I purchased an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro (model year 2010). It has two volume push/pull pots for coil splitting. I would like to add the push/pull switch to the bridge tone control so it is the same as newer models with phase shift or do I just follow this video. Do you have a video to correctly make this modification ?
Can you do a video for a pot to create a bass bleed tone knob 1 meaning no bass what so ever and 10 with all the trebles dialled back in like the rev guitars 🎸
I have a small problem that I was hoping you could help me with I just built a strat guitar and wired it with one p90 pickup in the bridge position with a volume and tone, it is a tremolo routed strat. It turned out great but unfortunately my wiring skills aren't the greatest I'm sure it's something I did wrong but it's my first rewire job. My volume control only works from 10-5 when I roll it off, at about 5 the volume is killed completely and my tone control has to be rolled down to get any treble instead of up and on top of that the treble doesn't roll off gradually rather it cuts all the treble off at once when it reaches 9. I was trying to go for a 50's les Paul junior wiring scheme where the capacitor is wired between the volume and tone pot. I can't find a proper wiring diagram to help me correct it any help would be appreciated.
Hi, can you help me with an question?.... I have a guitar HSS 1 volume 1 tone and 1 5 way switch, but I want to take off the 5 way switch and put three switch for turn on/off every pickup, can you make a video explain how I can do it please? I would like too much
Is everything backwards? It looks like the bridge pickup is being wired to where the neck pickup pots go. I understand you can go wherever but visually it's confusing.
can I get you to do a video over how to wire up a strat a certain way? I have an idea in my mind but not the knowledge to make it happen due to complication in the idea I imagine.
It depends. I usually do videos that have a somewhat broader appeal. Email me directly at: BrejaToneWorks@gmail.com and let me see what you're after. I might be able to just do a drawing for you.
sir im trying to do a mod i have a h and h style with a super 5 way switch 1 tone andf 1 volume the tone is a push push, i have the coil splits being run by the 5 way as illustrated in the seymour duncan diagrams. im trying to get the push push to flip the outer coil to inner coils when its pushed but i have no idea how to do it. ive contacted seymour duncan theyve sent some diagrams but i think there tec iosnt really understanding what im saying if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance for anyones help
Hi. My tech said he needed to use a superswitch to do: Neck Humbucker Neck Inner coil Neck and Bridge Humbuckers Bridge Inner coil Bridge Humbucker Shouldn't this be doable with a normal 5 way switch?
Nope - you'd need a SuperSwitch to accomplish it. The grounding of the Coil Split wires for each HB and the joining of the two pickups for your middle position are your problems.
I saw an interesting vid post at Luke Harwood channel (ruclips.net/video/lhjpZ06E7wM/видео.html). It's features seven string pick ups on a 6 string guitar. 3 way switches for each pick up provide options for series, coil tap and parallel wiring. What if seven string pick up/s and six string pick up/s combination on a six string guitar?Can you post (various pick up positions) using the Modern Wiring and adding a Phase Switch into the controls via a Push/Pull switch. Thanks
Sorry, but this just does not work! You have wired both the output from the pickups and the lead to the switch to the same lug on the volume controls. Hence, the volume controls will not work. Hey, but maybe you like playing at full volume all the time!
No more post since 4 years. I don't know what happened but I'm surely miss those videos. Thanks BrejaToneWork
Hi, I just discovered the valuable resource you created here, with everything presented in such a logical clear sequence. I hope the lack of any further videos is due to you choosing to spend more time playing, rather than

This channel is like an oasis in the midst of my ignorance, thanks you a lot!
This is the best video I've ever seen, thanks so much.
Thanks SO MUCH for posting this vid!! It's the first one I've found that ACTUALLY explains how to wire something like this up!!!
Thanks @Breja Toneworks for those videos. I use them all time and they are the best. Hope to see more soon .
Thank you so much for all the videos, I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from your channel!
Thank you, Don. This has helped me a lot.

I have an interesting inquiry, how do you build an ab switcher that receives commands from an external device via TRS?
I just bought an SG with two P90s and was wondering if you knew of any wiring schematics that I could play around with that are interesting.
Hi. Excellent video. Can you do a video for wiring both: phased and coil split for a HH less Paul? Thanks

Hi..tutorial wiring HH 1volume 1 tone swich 5 way..ibanez rga🙏
I am assuming that this can be done with independent volume wiring, I guess I will find out tomorrow unless someone tells me not to do it.
How can I contact you
hey Im needing some help with a mod
You haven't made anymore videos lately
Did this guy die or something?
Hope not
FYI. @diaryfeel4635 has uploaded a lot of your videos and stealing credit.
Report him to RUclips creator support so they can disable his account.
