Im after a very particular wiring setup on my custom Strat.
If anyone can help me I will be very grateful, I'm quite experienced wiring but only following diagrams. I dont know enough to figure this out.

It'll consist of this;
1 Single Coil sized Humbucker (SD JBJR Bridge), 2 x single coils, 3 - Way selector, 1 x Volume, 1 x Tone but I want the tone knob to be the G&L/ Reverend Bass cut, 1 x mini toggle on/on DPDT for coil splitting the Humbucker, 1x on/off, SPST killswitch toggle switch.

If anyone can draw me something or help in anyway I will be eternally grateful.

Thank you

Cross ref various diagrams I think im figuring it out. Ill just break it down into smaller chunks. Wire it up normally at first. Then add the Red & White of humbucker to coil tap and then add killswitch to output jack.

That's the way to do it, then it's quite easy.

The pickup selector bit is the switch part of a standard Strat diagram. The G&L bass cut is likewise the same as normal for those.

You actually only need a SPST off/on to coil split the humbucker. Use it to connect the coil junction to ground, or to the pickup hot depending on which coil you want to remain on.

When you're wiring the kill-switch, make sure you use it to mute the signal by grounding the output, not to break the signal path, or it will hum.

Thank you for the advice, I'll let you know how I get on

This is how I cook up non-standard control circuits.

Same here

EDIT: Well... that and ask on here for help when it doesn't work...

Thanks everyone, as soon as I get the pickup I paid for over a week ago I'll get started.

Howdy, Stranger!
