I am a newbie and just get a coldsweat neck pickup, and a nailbomb bridge pickup
i am going to ask my firend to help me install it, but he also don't get any idea to wiring circuit
i am newbie, so i don't know which is the important information i must provide, i just try to show what I want
my guitar is gibson les paul, 2 volume 2 tone pot, a 3 way switch
i have bought 2 push/push pot....
i want the neck push/push pot, switch the neck pickup parallel/normal
and bridge push/push pot, switch the BOTH neck and bridge pickup single coil/normal
Could anyone teach me how to connect please ??
or show me the wiring diagram ???
i hope u can understand what I mean and THANK YOU EVERYONE for helping me

Not trying to be an arse, but if both of you have no idea about wiring, would better call someone who knows. Because people can show you the wiring diagram, but it may be difficult for you do on the first shot with electronic, this is not a simple schematic...
BTW: Welcome to the forum :drink:

understood
thanks for your advice

I don't think there's any way you can switch both pickups to single-coil with the second push/push pot, because all the wires from the neck pickup will be connected to the first push/push pot for series/parallel switching.
With push/push (or push/pull) pots you can really only do series/parallel switching OR coil-splitting, not both.

My les paul used to be wired up so a push pull was a master coil tap, not sure how though.
if i was you i'd get some help with this one. push pull pots are a bit fiddily at the best of times, so a lot can go wrong if it's your first time and you are unsure of troubleshooting. Start off simple i say.

That would be something like this, only with a second tone control:

You can split two humbuckers with a single push/pull because coil splitting only uses one half of the switch. But for series/parallel each pickup needs its own switch.

thank you very very much.....
i just checked out the Jimmy page wiring circuit, there is a pot to switch parallel and serious, it is talking about 2 pickups' parallel not the individual pickup parallel right ??
and would u pls give me some recommendation that use one push/push pot to switch single coil of 2 pickups at the same time, or use two push/push pot to switch individual pickups ??
thanks a lot

Yes, I think in the Jimmy Page wiring one of the push/pull pots puts the two pickups in series with each other - so you get a big 4-coil humbucker sound! It's not putting the two coils of an individual pickup in series or parallel.
The diagram I mentioned above uses one push/pull to split both pickups (although it only shows one tone control):

This one shows two push/pulls for individual pickup splitting:

And this one shows two push/pulls for individual series/parallel switching:
