Hello to you fellow dudes a dudets!
I have been planning a guitar build for some time now and have gone through almost all the details, but there is one that really bugs me. Here's my problem: I'm clueless with electronics! And I have very little, if any, idea on what are my options. So I'm asking you guys, hoping someone can clear me up some things.
First of all, it's going to be a humbucker guitar (2 humbuckers to be precise.) And I want it to be very versatile. Good for me! Stewmac offers a 6 position switch. But which 6 positions? Seeing that PRS has some guitars with this config. : Neck pup, Inner coils split in series, Outer coils in series, inner coils in parallel, and Bridge pup (something like that anyway.) It seems a popular good setup but is it for my case?
Here are my major questions :
1. What the **** is that parallel and series stuff (i've been looking all over the web just to find that it's "a clearer tone") I would like to what it physically is.
2. Is a configuration like this possible?:
1. Neck pup (with individual coil slitting)
2. Inner coils in series
3. Inner coils in parallel
4. Outer coils in series
5. Bridge and Neck humbuckers (with individual coil slitting)
6. Bridge pup (with individual coil slitting)
3. Is there a better config. applicable to my build? (without having 10 knobs, 5 swithes, 12 mini toggles lol)
4. Do expensive electronics make difference?
Thanks for taking the time to read, and as the story tells... :rock-on:
