    Look, I know it's 7 years later, but this video is just what I needed today. Thanks for taking the time to explain the mapping. The wiring diagram I got with my StewMac switch seemed to be reversed from what I was looking at on the physical switch, and my middle position wasn't engaging either pickup. With this information, I should be able to sort out what's going on without simply relying on their diagram.

  • @alexrysham3668
    @alexrysham3668 8 лет назад +3

    since i never use the middle position on my guitar, i wire the 3 way switch as blower switch also. position 1, neck, 2: bridge 3. bridge straight to the jack. theres a on off on switch to split either neck or bridge. the result is, i can use single channel amp and go from metal to pristine clean and jangly cleans in a sweep of a 3 way switch. super handly to me, saves me more money and pedals.

      Use a multimeter, put the knob in the neck pickup position and touch the multimeter to each piece. When you find one that registers, you know that is where the neck pickup gets wired to. Repeat for bridge pickup. The ground will go in the center and the wire to the volume pot, on the back side. Hope that helps.

      No - changing the gauge of wire doesn't require any special work. Some wire is better than other though. Solid Strand is ok but brittle. Multi-Strand wire is stronger but doesn't always stay put. You don't need to go really thick in the gauge.

    Doug, I have a question about wiring a guitar. I built a pick guard with a Seymour Duncan pearly gates (bridge hum bucker) and a little 59 single coil sized hum bucker in the neck. What I am trying to do is have 2 volumes and one master tone. I also want the center position to play both. Here is a list of my components. 2- Seymour Duncan hum buckers, 3 500k Mojotone vintage taper pots, 3- way CRL blade switch. My biggest complaint is wiring two volumes...I cannot seem to get the separation of the volumes. I want the top pot to run the bridge, the middle ;to to run the neck and the third pot to run the tone for both and the center position. My CRL 3-way switch does not look like any pot ive seem with respect to the lug layout. Their are 4 on the left and 4 on the right but the right side has the highest lug.....not like the tutorial you have shown. Also worth noting is the bottom lug on the left is common and the upper lug on the right in common. I would be willing to pay you for a drawing of how to hook this up. I also notice this guitar has very noisy ground loop noise. Any help with the noise problem would be appreciated as well. I need to know exactly where every single wire goes to include the input jack. Any help is greatly appreciated....thanks in advance.

I was watching a video where a man was playing a Tele with a gibson humbucker in front with standard single coil rear and he had a four way switch. It yielded some great sounds. Would the individual pup's polarity be a factor in wiring up a system like this? Thanks for all your helpful vids.

      @BrejaToneWorks  8 лет назад

      +Mitch Arney Normally - No. The 4-way would do the same function with the HB in the neck as it would if a SC was in the neck. Neck and Bridge independent and Neck and Bridge in Series or Parallel. If you used a RWRP SC in the bridge there might be a slightly different sound. I've never tried that so I can't tell what the effect would be.

      +Breja ToneWorks Thanks for your help! I do want to avoid any out of phase sounds, if possible. You mention RWRP for the bridge pup, mine is south wound. My understanding is SW bridge with the back Gibson coil being NW and the front coil SW.....you have S-N-S polarities. Am I making sense? Thanks

      +Mitch Arney Yes - you would be correct. You might have to pull a Keith Richards and flip the HB around to adjust for the polarity issue.

      +Breja ToneWorks Thanks......could it be that switching the hot and ground on the bridge pup would also work...for polarity?

      +Mitch Arney No - it's how the windings go around the magnet. Some people open up the pickup and flip the magnet. I'm not the brave or ambitious.

    MAn either my ESP LTD Viper has a very rare 3 way selector or I just dont get it. Every single video has this same 8 lug config.
    I dont get it. Mine has screws on the sides and on 1 end is one luig and on the other end is 3 lugs.
    Oh and my diagram said the output from the jack goes to Lug 2 on the volume pot

    SO this is a great video except for one thing. My 3-way switch lugs are the opposite of the videos. It looks like the ground for the switch looking at it exactly like the video are on the bottom left and top right....so for a 2 pickup guitar HS which lugs go to what?

    I have an ibanez in hsh with a 5w switch and i would like to have a hh 3w switch configuration with position 1 for the whole bridge pickup, position 2 both pickups (or maybe only one coil of each pickup) and position 3 the whole Neck pickup. I have one standard volume and one standard tone. Is it possible with a standard 3 way position (like the telecaster) ?

    what if i have two volumes? one for the bridge and one for the neck?

    • @masongregory278

      Wire the pickup to the volume pot first, then the output wires to the switch. The pots go before the switch, just like a Les Paul wiring.

    Can I wire this switch in a strat so it goes bridge/middle+neck/Neck? Is that possible?

    Can a 5 way switch be used as a 3 way switch if I take out my middle pickup?

    I removed the middle pickup on my Strat, installed a 3 way switch and can't get the wiring to work. Only the neck pickup engages. I don't get it.
