Wiring a 6 position rotary switch

[AltGrendel]

Why not a separate selection switch for the neck and bridge and then a standard selection switch between those? I have a guitar that has two multi-buckers and after playing around found that I had more versatility with the three switches than with a rotary switch and it was easier to DIY.

OK, having seen your last diagram, I'm worried that you don't really understand what series-parallel switching actually does. It is again, quite a long way from what you've requested.

1. Two Bridge pickups
2. Two Bridge pickups (in parallel) wired in parallel with the two Neck pickups (in parallel)
3. Two Bridge pickups (in parallel) wired in series with the two Neck pickups (in parallel)
4. Two Neck pickups

As I mentioned, this ^ can be done with four single coil pickups, a special tele switch, a master vol, and a master tone.

That duncan diagram is fine for this. You are simply wiring the two bridge pickups in parallel (black to black, white to white) and the two neck pickups in parallel, then treating each of these pairs like one pickup as per the duncan diagram.

Your diagram has four humbuckers (a total of 8 coils) with individual series-parallel switches, and individual volume controls. This is a very different set up.

RobbieK, my diagrams have always been 4 humbucker pickups. I'm sticking with it (even though it makes things more complicated).

I have abandoned the rotary switch as it was just going to be way too complicated. I'm going to start a new thread that will hopefully be less confusing.
