  • need help figuring how to wire up my ideas!!!!

    Salem here hailing from Minneapolis Minnesota. I'm about to order and replace all the parts of my Washburn pro wr150 and l get hesitant when I get to the wiring part of electronics and want to make sure it's all going to work


    I ordered the saphue ceramic quad track bucker and two dual rail single coil buckers A5 for the middle ceramic for the neck and was wondering if someone could draw up a diagram or be detailed as possible. my idea was
    1- Bridge: Full bucker
    2- Split bridge neck facing coil and middle pup bridge facing coil
    3- middle pup full
    4- middle pup split neck facing coil and neck pickup split bridge facing coil
    5- neck full
    1 push/push for possibly an out of phase sound for all of the switches selections
    1-push/push so when the single buckers are split and single coils I can have them in series when in position 2 and 4 which I think would be cool as it would give me a bucker thats both A5 and ceramic

    ​​​​​​​thoughts suggestions and help with how to wire please

    Mr Dawg, Welcome to the Forum.

    First, what is a Washburn pro wr150 and why would anyone want to modify it ?

    Second, assuming it uses a Strat style switch, I think you are going to need a switch that is more complicated than the standard Strat switch. These switches often come with diagrams showing how they might be used.

    Thirdly, it would be most helpful if you posted links to show details on these pickups. How many wires, how are the coils configured etc.

      everything should be delivered by Wednesday. I'll take some pictures then and even draw a little picture of what I'm trying to do as well.

        Suggestion: Mount the pickups and the pull-pots. Experiment with the pickup and coil combinations you want to see if they sound useful. Sometimes you can dream up a combination that seems like you would like it, but in reality it doesn't sound that good.

        Addendum: Document exactly how you wired up the combinations you liked that sounded good

          Phostenix used to be the greatest but i guess it's gone? It's mirrored here.

            I've used this switch or another like it for "personal" pickup combinations.

            I hope this helps.

              Yo Dawg, you've got a lot of options with your pickup selections. Are they all usable tones? The answer is they aren't. I would suggest sampling the different configurations before trying to fit them all into your wiring solution. I've rarely seen anyone get what they wanted when trying to do the 'Swiss Army' approach. By sampling the possibilities, you can omit the schemes that don't sound desirable. At the same time, you'll learn about phasing and switching the pickups. I'm not a fan of multiple switching options. I'm a fan of multiple guitars with each having its own characteristics. Anything else is a compromise. g/l with the project.
