Easy to read wiring diagrams for guitars & basses with 2 humbuckers & 3-way pickup selector switch. Options for North/South coil tap, series/parallel & more.. Humbucker Wiring Diagrams Standard 2 Volume 2 Tone Series/Parallel and Split Wiring
Standard two-humbucker wiring HH + 3W + 2V2T Independent pickup volumes To blend the pickups independently, swap the wires from the pickups and the switch where they connect to the volume pot. This solves the problem in the middle position of the switch where turning down one volume control affects both pickups.. This wiring schematic enables your single coil bridge pickup to see its desired potentiometer value of 250k while allowing your neck humbucker to see its desired pot value at 500k. The compromise is a darker middle position that, depending on the resistor used, will be approximately 150k resulting in a darker than normal middle position.
