Re-wiring my guitar

[auhrich424]

I'm rewiring my guitar, a Yamaha PAC112V. It's setup as an HSS strat style guitar, with the exception being that the the pots are not wired directly to the pickguard. Here's a link to the guitar Yamaha PAC112v

What I want, is to have a volume pot and tone pot at 250k for the single coils and a 500k volume and tone pot for the humbucker. I have added a concentric 500k pot to the guitar to control the vol and tone for the humbucker.

I also have the Megaswitch from Stewmac.

Below is my wiring diagram. The megaswitch can automatically coil tap the humbucker, which is what I want. However, I want to be able to control the volume of the humbucker independently from the single coils.

The only way I could see to make the volume work independently was to wire the humbucker as shown by Stewmac Humbucker alternate wiring (Scroll down until you see "Alternate volume control wiring")

My problem is that I don't know if I'm doing this right, in order to maintain the coil tap of the humbucker.

I appreciate any advice.

(The wire assignment box is copied from the Megaswitch instructions.)

You should take this question to the Seymour Duncan Forum. Best electric guitar forum on the planet and this question has been answered there many times. If you're lucky, Artie will see your post on the SDF and give his insights.

The Seymour Duncan forum is an excellent forum not only for SD pickups but any brand. By far the best pickup forum out there. Artie helped me out 3 years ago with a complicated custom wiring guitar I was assembling from the ground up.

Just out of curiosity, what pickups are you using?

[auhrich424]

I'm using the golden age pickups from Stewmac, both single coil and humbucker. (The overwound humbucker).

I use Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups in my Strat, Joe Barden pickups in my Tele and Tom Holmes humbuckers in my ES-335.

I joined the Seymour Duncan forum yesterday, does anyone know how long it takes to be approved to start a new thread?
