Complicated wiring

[Velcro]

I was wondering if anybody could make a wiring schematic for me. I would pay you with my respect and friendship. The circuit is: two pickups one single conductor p-90 in the neck pos. and one 4 conductor humbucker in the bridge. I would like a master volume control which push/pulls to coil split the humbucker. I would then have a blend control followed by a tone control. I would have a pup switch it would however not select pups it would switch between three caps. I will be extremely grateful for any help.  ccasion14:

That'a a little unorthodox, but definitely doable. I'll try to draw something up for you when I get home this evening.

Thank you very much! . :icon_thumright:

Wait, three caps or three different cap values? putting them in parallel would give a different value, and would allow use of a Gibson-style pup switch.

This design sounds really interesting. I would have jumped on it had bob7point7 not already volunteered. If he takes too long, I'll give it a go...

OK, I think this will do it. A few things to keep in mind:
1. I used the Seymour Duncan color codes for the pickup wires. You'll need to adjust accordingly if your'e using someone else's pickups.
2. I split the humbucker so you get the screw coil. If you want the stud coil instead, we'll have to adjust the push-pull wiring.
3. I just assumed you had planned on using a Fender-style switch to switch betweem cap values, but Paul-less is exactly right. You could get 3 effective cap values using 2 caps and a gibson switch (although the middle position would have the biggest capacitance).

Let me know if there is something here that doesn't match what you were looking for.

I'm not sure if that coil split looks correct.... To me that looks like it would just kill the volume.

Why do you say that? The green wire from the humbucker is grounded. The red and white wires are connected to each other to wire the 2 coils in series. The black wire is the output and goes to the blend pot. When the push-pull is pulled, the red and white wires are connected to the black wire to short out one coil, leaving the green-red coil connected to the blend pot.

 

[Paul-less]

I see. I was looking at it all wrong. I was thinking of actually disconnecting the coil, not shunting it.

I'm actually planning on using a les paul style switch which come to think of it would only use two caps :doh:

EDIT: my p-90 is a seymour duncan sp90-2 with one wire, I think it's both wires connected together.

OK, I changed the switch to a Gibson-style 3 way. The P90 must use shielded wire. There is probably a braided wire around a center wire. The braided outer wire would be the same as the black wire coming from the P90 in the diagram. The inner wire would be the same as the white wire.
