Hello there. (I'm sorry if this is a stupid question) I am building a Warmoth SG with H S H pickups. With a 3 way switch, I'm not quite sure how it should be wired... I'm mostly just seeing what is possible to do, because I'm most likely not wiring it myself. Anyway, with a 3 way switch, is it possible to have it go bridge/middle/neck? Or will I have to find some other way to have it wired? And also, is it possible to have the knobs 3 volume 1 tone? Thanks in advanced.
First off.......Welcome to the board.
With a 'standard-wired' 3-way switch, bridge/middle/neck is pretty much all you're gonna get.
You can go for all sorts of other combinations (with your 3-way) if you think about how you connect various wires. You can get all sorts of weird and wonderful series and parallel combo's if you wanna get creative.
3 Vol, 1 Tone - No problem.
And I agree with Kreig. SD's pickup schem's are a great place to start, but be aware that other pickup manufacturers may use different colour codes for their wires, and you may have to bear that in mind when actually connecting up.
My advice would be start simple (bridge / middle / neck on a 3-way), to give yourself a base line of what the guitar and pickups sound like. If you are happy with the results, leave it alone. If you want a different layout, rip the guts out and start again.
All the best, and let us know how you get on.
