Questions about Mustang wiring

Post by chrismakesgod »

I decided that my p90stang idea would be better being a sonic youth stang with a p90 in the middle.

I took it in to a shop that told me they would do it if i gave them a wiring diagram. As i have no skill in these things and have failed to find a diagram for what i want, i am turning to you guys. If you could tell me if what i want is even possible, it would be a great help. If any of you know of a schematic for what i want, i would be forever in your debt.

Basically, what i want is the two single coils controlled by one switch wired to act as such; Bridge on/both on/neck on

and the P90 controlled by a seperate switch like thus; p90 on/p90 only/p90 off

so that i have the option of all pickups on, or each individually or any combination of both.

Can this even be done?

It can probably be done. I'm not sure about the P90 only part but the rest for sure. Check the Seymour Duncan site for a schematic that shows you how to do bridge/both/neck using one switch to start you off.

The neck/both/bridge switch will defiantly work and I'm pretty sure there is a way to do the P90 switch. It's gonna take me a little bit to figure it out, but I'll post a diagram when I've got it sorted out.

Okay, Here's what I came up with. The front switch closest to the neck will control the single coils - neck/both/bridge the switch closer to the bridge will control - singles only/singles and P90/P90 only. This should also give you the flexibility of doing any combination of either or both of the single coils along with the P90.
That's what your trying to do, right?

Cool, I'm working on the diagram right now and will post it when I'm done.

I'm pretty sure this should work.

Thanks so much Rod. I emailed the diagram to the shop, they're just going to sort out someone to rout it, but told me it could be sometime after christmas. I'll dig this up and post pictures once the work has been done.
