Hey team, long-time lurker but very seldom poster poking my head up.
It’s pickup swap time for my baritone partscaster strat and I’ve run into a dead end.
It’s currently wired in an HSS format with a three-way blade switch and a two-way on-on switch, which gives neck, middle, and middle+bridge on the three-way, and then bridge straight to jack bypassing the volume when the two-way is down (the ‘blower switch’ mod).
I know what I’m aiming for, but not sure if it’s actually possible with the switch I’ve got.
I have a P-90 in the neck, and I’ve got a Duncan P-rails and Alt 8 for the middle and bridge.
I want to combine them with the same switches to get P-90 solo in the neck position, then P-rails north coil (P-90 side) solo in the middle position, and P-rails south coil (rail side) plus the Alt 8 north coil on the bridge position.
Then throwing the two-way switch would get the full Alt 8, coils in series, straight to the jack.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Is this possible with a three-way blade switch? If so, can anyone help out with a diagram for how to do this? I’m happy enough with soldering and understand how the circuit works, but I’m not too good with coil-splits.
I have all the parts, just waiting on the pickguard to arrive and I can get stuck in.
Anyone have any ideas?
