Perhaps an even more flexible way of controlling the pu output characteristics would be to replace the output jack with a stereo one and wiring each pu to it's own channel, this would give you a "stereo" output, you would need to adapt the amp end of the lead to 2 jacks and feed them into different channels on the amp, or even use 2 amps! You could then not only select pu1 or pu2 output, but also be able to vary the input level of each, even adding different effects to 1 or both.

Couple of different versions:

Doug or Gnease can probably tell if those would work. The look like pretty simple setups, but I have no idea how they'd function in an LP setup.

I used basic Jazz Bass wiring in my current S'51 configuration, with dual volume pots and no pickup switch. Worked like a charm for me, but yours is different. Well, this makes sense, except for the fact that the Les Paul has a pickup switch. The 1 and 3 positions of the pickup switch still need to work normally.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/paged/2/#post-173770 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/paged/2/#post-173645 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 14:17:20 +0000

You will get more highs than if you used all four coils, but with various harmonics similarly cancelled or reinforced. The latter is caused by having two sampling points along the strings.

The problem with using all four in series is the large series inductance and the parasitics (capacitance to ground) will roll off the highs pretty severely. In any case, if you do the four coils in series, you may want to experiment with with bypassing the volume and tone controls completely to eliminate their loading effects, which will exacerbate HF roll-off. Feed those suckers directly to the amp!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/#post-173628 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/#post-173568 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 01:26:33 +0000 How would only using the outside coils sound?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/#post-173568 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/#post-173535 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 21:44:22 +0000
Use four wire 'buckers, but instead of wiring two whole 'buckers in series, connect only the outside or inside coils(that is, only one coil from each pup) in series. I believe PRS uses this on their 5-way switched guitars to good effect.Yeah, that could work. Position three on a PRS rotary switch is both outer coils in series, as here: http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/WDUHH5R1101. They are four-wire, though, as are all the ones shown here: http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/category/wiringresources.1wiringdiagrams.humbuckerwiringmods.

XG5A, would you rather replace/rewire the existing 'buckers, or just see if it's possible to do with two-wire pups?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Doug_C https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/humbuckers-in-series/#post-173535
