**There's some
pickup repair info on the repair tips page, includes how to
determine phase.

I've Designed
Jack Switch
a picture of a little
item to replace a footswitch; when you need a footswitch,
but not really the "foot" switch. I used to use
a "shorting jack" but I'd always loose it. this
is a switchable shorting jack.
Ultimate
in Versatility for
strat, requires no physical modification, changes second tone
to an on/blend pot for bridge pickup, or variable coil cut
Same
design modified for
use w/ two humbuckers automatically cuts coils in positions
2 and 4, incorporates both the variable coil cut and on/ blend
pot
"Coil
Select"
Everyone knows how much difference there is in tone between
the two coils of a humbucker when cut (the one closer to the
bridge is much brighter). With my Dualtone and DualtoneII,
each coil is wound differently for a different tone altogether.
So I came up with this switching to allow you to cut to whichever
coil desired. It only requires a single on-on-on switch (slider
or toggle) it keeps each coil in phase when combined with
a reverse wound middle pickup, or another dualtone type...
Coil
Select + Series/Parallel
Uses 4 push pull pots and one mini toggle, for LP type guitars
(requires adding mini toggle)
Six
Way Rotor Switch
This link goes to a page showing the "wiring grid"
for a six way rotor switch designed to give all possible sounds
from a single humbucker. (co-designed
w/ James Winger)
Blend/On
Standard
strat wiring converted to master vol, master tone, and blend/on
pot for bridge pickup.
Bridge/On
Standard strat wiring with bridge pickup on/off using a push/pull
pot.
Tele
w/ humbucker wired using "E" model mega switch gives
neck, neck+coil1, neck+bridge humbucker, bridge coil2, bridge
humbucker (or something like that, I forget exactly..)
Single single hum
5way giving n/nm/nb/mb/b,
coil select, ser/parallel, 1vol, 1tone
I'm sure there will
be more coming soon! Need a diagram or custom schematic you
can't find elsewhere? Ask me and I'll see what I can come
up with!
