Push pull part number/pics please?Single coil wrote:Surely I can do that with the push pull??jvpp wrote:For serial/parallel switching the individual coils within a pickup you will have to use the 4 wires from each pickup wired to its own 6 pole switch.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
Should work. Can't find a switch diagram on the GF website. As long as the middle two pins are connected to either of the outer set depending on switch setting it will do the job. I am was thinking of doing this as well for my gretsch copy so will draw it up.Single coil wrote:

If you have an AVO meter you can measure how the switching works on your pot.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
my god, please draw me a simple diagram.
I have red, white, black, and bare copper wires, labelled as follows:
White: Coil tap
Red: Signal +
Black: Ground
Bare: Pickup shield ground

Please provide pickup model/part number so I can check wiring diagram on their website.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
Well those links didn't help, phuck all about how they are wired.... so sadly I cannot put colour labels on the coil wires. So sorry my dear!
I hope you can read schematics, it's a very simple language
The bits bottom right tell you how the pins on Switch 1 and 2 correspond to the pins on the pot switch when they are facing you.
Schematic shows wiring to a jack, but you can change that for the pot, ect.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
I've tried all sorts of weird combinations this afternoon (all proved fruitless) so I'll give this one a hoon tomorrow when I'm not livid
Thanks captain

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
Also yes, gfs are rubbish at documentation and label the white one as "coil tap"
That's not north start or end ... dicks

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
If you have an AVO meter you can measure which wire is which.....
If the white one is labelled coil tap, then black would be neutral and red is hot. Use the top schematic in that case. Unless the big fat earth wire is actually the 4th wire then you can use the 2nd schematic.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
Found green too - it is hidden at the pickup end but it isn't continued through the end that gets soldered to shit so I can't imagine it does anything.
At the soldering end I have red, white, black, and bare copper.
With that information, am I good to use the lower diagram?

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
Ah so there are 4 wires. Green is soldered to white that's why it isn't brought out. So you can coil tap by shorting one coil to ground, thereby creating a single coil from a humbucker. I thought you wanted serial/parallel switching.... So with the 3 wires you have come out you can only use top schematic.Single coil wrote:Found green too - it is hidden at the pickup end but it isn't continued through the end that gets soldered to shit so I can't imagine it does anything.
