Hey guys,
I was watching this interview with
Misha Mansoor of Periphery, where he talks about his signaure models with Jackson. He says that the 5-way in the guitar is wired so that positions 1, 3, and 5 are what you'd expect with a normal 3-way switch (bridge, both, neck) and that position 2 is both inner coils, and 4 is both outer. I searched around for a schematic for this setup but I didn't find anything, so I looked at a couple different schematics from seymour duncan's website and made my own which I think should work. It makes sense to me, but I also don't really know too much about wiring guitars - I always just use schematics.
So, here's what I came up with:
Please note, this is still using SD's pickup color codes. And also, the gray wires that follow the red wires are supposed to be white, but obviously I couldn't make white wires on a white background. This was done in paint so don't mind how bad it looks![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
Basically, here's what I'm thinking - I used this schematic as a reference. It says that if you wire it up the way it's shown, you get one inner coil at a time. Or, if you switch that one wire, you get one outer coil at a time. So, I sort of took that idea and messed around with it a little to get what I think would give you both inners, and both outers in the 2 and 4 positions.
So, my question(s) to anyone who can help is -
Does this make sense, and will it work like I think it would?
Thanks!
