i have a project guitar, built around a mustang scale length, i have 3 stacked single coils, and i have 3 on-off mini switches, along with 3 vol-tone-tone knobs.

is there a mustang-style control schematic available that i could use to wire the 3 mini switches similar to the mustang controls, but minus the OFF positions on the toggles?

I don't understand what you're asking for. It looks like you're asking for three pickups that are always on, with an individual phase switch for each.

What do you mean by "Mustang-style"?

Three vol-tone-tone knobs? Do you want tone controls for some pickups, but not others?

What do three-way toggles have to do with on-off mini switches?

one of the positions of the 3-way toggles (i should call them 'slider switches')....

is 'off', correct?

normal, off, reverse phase?

so, i have 3 pickups, i want to add the other pickup into the scheme, with the same basic premise, only, i want to use my existing 2-way mini toggles, and re-configure them to take the place of the 2 'slider' switches like on the mustang layout.

here's the existing layout i've got:


maybe, it's closer to the brian may kinda of wiring scheme.

i don't need the 'off' position, so the 2-way minis is what i'm trying to work with.

So, basically you just want to wire the switches as phase switches?

OK. The numbers keep changing, and I am confuse. Forget technical terms right now, or comparisons to other guitars.

How many pickups are going to be on this guitar?


How many switches (of any sort) are going to be on this guitar?


What do you want each switch to do?


How many potentiometers are going to be on this guitar?


What do you want each potentiometer to do?

well, not necessarily...
that's why i mentioned the 'mustang' wiring, because i thought there was more to it than just a standard phase switch.
it's been so long since i owned my mustang, i'm not familiar enough to remember if it was a combination of phase, parallel, or something else....

as it shows, 3 pickups;
3 mini 2-way toggles;
the 3 mini toggles, will replace the (2) in the mustang scheme (adding one extra);
one master pot, one master tone, and i was thinking the 3rd knob could be the selector, taking the place of the missing middle action of the 2 original mustang slide controls;


or, i suppose i could just replace the (3) mini toggles, with 3-way toggles, wire it the same, and abandon the 3rd knob on the controls, and use the 1st two for master vol. and tone.
i was just interested to see if there were schematics floating that could make use of the switching/knobs as they are......

The mustang switch positions were: ON, OFF, ON-PHASE-REVERSED

Since you want to eliminate OFF, that leaves us with ON and PHASE-REVERSE. In other words, you'd just be wiring those mini-switches to reverse the phase of the pickup, or be "normal".

great, that's what i needed to know. thanks!

No probs!
