Hi all, I'm working on a new project as therapy, to keep me from sitting around watching TV & drinking beer all day.
I've been wasting way too much time doing unconstructive
and needed ways to occupy my time better.
The small local projects that come my way aren't enough to keep myself busy, and I always end up with entire afternoons spent watching old black & white Westerns on TV with nothing to show for it except for a recycling bin full of empty beer cans and a couple of roaches in the ashtray.
So here's where I need some help.
I'm trying to wrap my head around how to wire three P90's, with three volumes, one tone, and push pulls for series parallel on two of the pickups, and phase switching on the other.
The neck & bridge P90's are an alnico 2 set, with hum canceling in the middle position, through the 3 way switch.
The middle P90 is an alnico 5.
My thinking is have the middle pickup with a phase push pull, so it could be used in combination with either neck or bridge and still have the hum canceling effects available at the push pull.
But I also want to have a push pull to put two P90's in series, creating a mudbucker effect. Doesn't matter which two.
My question to the pickup & wiring gurus is...
Can I accomplish my objective with the following two wiring diagrams.
I've removed the old school braided shield single conductor hook up wire and rewired all three P90s to three wire, meaning the + and - leads are separate and isolated form the shield.
I'd like to be sure what I'm attempting will work before I waste another set of pots.
