Humbucker wiring help: series-off-parallel?

Post by Red Beard »

Been lurking at the forum for awhile but I could use some help so I finally made an account....hello.

Long story short: I've had a 66 mustang for about 15 years, picked up at a pawn shop, somewhere in its life the paint had been stripped and the pickguard carved out to fit a bill lawrence humbucker in the bridge and single coil in the neck (which never worked as long as I've played it but being mostly in punk bands it never mattered.)

SO, the thing has been ugly as sin most of the time I owned it, I finally recently decided to refinish it. I've also decided to try to do some rewiring and what I am hoping to get help with is figuring out how to wire my humbucker into the bridge switch such that the positions will give series-off-parallel with respect to the two coils of the humbucker. I've searched high and low for a diagram but can't find one for the stock mustang switch.

I figured that all the wiring for the neck switch/pickup and control plate will be like the stock diagram, I just need help figuring out how to add the humbucker and bridge switch into the equation the way I want...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Welcome.

Just so you know this should probably be in the Projects section. The electronically inclined are more likely to see it there.

Have you been to the seymore duncan wiring site? I've pretty much been able to bash my wiring together thanks to bits and pieces of those.
