Get your thinking caps on and wiring diagrams out...

[Tommorichards]

I have a rather steep request, mostly because it involves the use of 2 pickups with 4 wires a piece, and this diagram:

So if you are up to it, i would need a wiring diagram for an MEC humbucker in neck position wired to one of those, an EMG 35hz in bridge position wired to one of those, then the output of those wired to a blend pot.

If in the unlikely circumstance that someone could provide that wiring diagram, i would be very grateful.

Note, the switching in that diagram is overcomplicated. One side of the jumper can go straight to the common instead of being switched.

Thanks. But 2 things. 1, would your diagram work if the switches were seperated, ie, 2 seperate switches, so each coil could be on/off as well, which is what my diagram shows.

And whats the difference between NC+, NC- ; and north coil start and finish, because on some diagrams, thats how its wired.

And i dont suppose you would have the colour codes for the MEC, and EMG pickups?

If you want series, parallel, north coil and south coil switching, you will need two switches.

Keep in mind that the series/parallel switch must be set to series if you go to solo a coil. Otherwise, you will be shorting the output.
I can't imagine it being worth the trouble, personally.

The + and - phase leads won't matter, so long as all four coils are wired in the same direction so that everything will be in phase.

I'm not aware of the MEC color code off hand. EMGs are usually single conductor, so they cannot be wired for series/parallel/single coil.

Ive used my diagram for north coil/south coil/ series/ parallel before and its worked, and whats this about EMG's not being coil switchable? Its passive with 4 wires.....

Passive four-conductor pickups should be fine then.

you had me worried there for a second

thanks for the help
