Title: I need wiring help! 2 Slowhands and a Push/Pull pot
Post by: Brow on July 11, 2007, 06:42:15 PM

Hello.

I've just received the Slowhands I ordered for the Fender Music Master I bought, and just wondered how I'd go about wiring them to a push/pull pot for series/parallel for when both pickups are being used?

The guitar has a master volume control, master tone (push/pull) and a Gibson style 3 wy toggle switch.

Thanks for any info.

Craig

I have (may actually be had - I haven't looked yet) the schematic I used for my strat...What you'd get with it is regular wiring with the push/pull in the down position, and then when the push/pull is pulled, setting the 3-way to the bridge will yield no signal at all, and the other two positions will give you bridge+neck in series

Plus side is that you get a killswitch effect as well - down side is that if you're not paying attention, you could end up accidentally switching your guitar off...

There may be another (better) way to wire it, but I came up with this myself for my strat and it was the only way I could see to do it...let me know if you want me to find it for you

EDIT: Slowhands in series sound awesome :D

This (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/deg0ey/Schematic.jpg) is the diagram I used for my strat (ignore the writing, was just notes to myself) It'll obviously need adaptation to apply to a guitar with only 2 single coils, and I'm happy to draw you up a separate diagram if you want me to :drink:

Sorry for the delay mate, I drew out the diagram the day you asked me to and then completely forgot to scan it in...And now that I have it on the PC, it's refusing to upload to photobucket.

PM me your email address and I'll send it on to you

EDIT: There's a thing on here with your email address on it - but it's not wanting to attatch to that either...
