is a humbucker wired normally...parallel? series is more output right?
I don't think you could, not certain though.

Series/Parallel basically toggles between your regular humbucker sound and more clarity and brightness like a coil-tap but without the hum or volume drop.

ah.....the pearly gates is a pretty bright pickup as is...so that may be a little shrill....its already a bit more trebly that I'd prefer.

then roll back the tone pot, princess.

Glad to hear it, guys! Good for you. Once I finish my list of projects I may try doing a custom. I will be happy to relax for a while. Boy though--there are times when I am working on this stuff and it is just invigorating. It makes other things pale.

oh i see.....my pickup selector only has 3 terminals...guess its not doable with that then.

4 wires and 3 terminals don't exactly go together.

anyways a new switch costs like 2 bucks.

Ng, I done told you 68 times now. Get an on-on-on switch, and I will tell you how to wire it series/tap/parallel
