Any guitarists?
I'm wiring a 3 humbucker "super Strat" like this:
Two Seymour Duncan mini-humbuckers in the neck and middle position as per the diagram, and one Bill & Becky Lawrence regular humbucker in the bridge.
The SD wire codes are black - north start, white - north finish, red - south finish, green - south start
The Bill Lawrence is black - north start, white - south start, red - north finish, green - south finish
(ref: )
I have it wired up as per the diagram except on the BL since the color code is different I have white on that one to ground, red to top left of
5 way switch pin 1, green to top right of five way switch pin 1.Switch position 1, 3, and 5 give the quiet powerful hum-bucking sound I'm used to. Something seems wrong with positions 2 and 4, though, but as I've only played a Les Paul or SG for 20 years I don't have any idea how splitting coils across humbuckers and running them in series is supposed to sound. I was under the impression that it gave a "virtual humbucker" kind of sound but it sounds thin and nasally more like a Strat single coil. Maybe that's how it is, don't know.
Anyone see an error in how I've wired this up or in the diagram that could be causing the symptoms?
