Blue Steel - a really, really good looking Velocity

Thanks man!  Push pull splits the bridge. Super switch does this:

1- bridge full
2- bridge split + middle
3- neck + split bridge
4- neck + middle
5- neck

Also lets hunbucker see the volume pot as 500k and single coils, 250k.

Share that wiring diagram?

I have the red/white pair going to the push-pull.  Pushed, the pair goes to the switch.  Pulled, it goes to ground.  Not sure this is ideal however.  It's keeping coil 1 active and I much prefer coil 2 for the bridge split position.  Unsure how to amend this without affecting the autospilt options, which I enjoy.  Another oddity is that in the 3rd position, there is single coil hum, but pulling the switch creates perfect silence.

When you say "perfect silence", do you mean that you have hum canceling or that the guitar has no output?

Hum canceling.  Megaswitch makes head essplode.

I'm thinking that makes sense. Position 3 is the neck pickup plus one coil of the humbucker. When the push/pull is down, the humbuckers link wires go to the switch where they are shorted to "hot". That gives you the coil between the link wires (serving as "hot") and ground, which is the outer coil. This hums, which means that the neck pickup is not RW/RP relative to the bridge pickup outer coil. When the push/pull is up, the link wires are shorted to "ground" and disconnected from the switch. This give you the coil between hot (which is still live on the switch) and the link wires (serving as "ground"), which is the inner coil. This is hum canceling, which means that the neck pickup is RW/RP relative to the bridge pickup inner coil. There's no change when actuating the push/pull in position 4 because both the push/pull and the switch short the link wires to ground, giving you the inner coil either way.

Given that a particular single coil and humbucker are in-phase, the single coil will be wound with the same wind direction and polarity as one coil of the humbucker (not hum canceling), and with the opposite wind direction and polarity of the other coil (RW/RP = reverse wind/reverse polarity = hum canceling). This is why positions 3 and 4 cut to different coils: the neck and middle are (theoretically) RW/RP to be hum canceling with each other in position 2, which means that each will be hum canceling with a different coil of the humbucker.

Thats my read on it anyhow!

ARe you putting only the part after the equals sign between the tags?


For this:

you would put only the Xwk2GDoAAYs between the bracketed youtube tags, like so:

Which would in turn yield this:

Hi nice velocity guitar

Can u upload videos with the warmoth velocity or send me some videos
On my email atchaneltv@gmail.com
Like standing position playing. im interested also to set up
But im a bit worried if its too bulky with body.

How does it feel by the way?
Does it feel overcrowded with the 3 pickups?

Thank you in advance.

 

[fdesalvo]

I'll see what I can do. It's very comfy and balanced.  Not crowded
At all! 

 

[albertapolinario]

Thank u highly appreciated

Just a 20secs video clip will do

Regards

Beautiful guitar....but really, a Fender neck plate.... :doh:

 

[Fat Pete]

I'm guessing it's a Frank neck plate.

 

[fdesalvo]

Nailed it, Fat Pete!

I'll have something soon - it's currently disassembled!  I have a neck being made for it, which should be shipping in the next week or three.

Main thing is this:  It's extremely comfy and just a hair smaller than a standard Tele.  On that note, I bet that it feels just like a carved top tele comfort-wise.
