Wiring Diagram or Help for a H/H/H Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have an rg570 with H/S/H config. i just bought new pups: a Dimarzio Steve's Special, a Chopper, and an Air Norton. Now these are all humbuckers and the chopper fits in the single coil slot. What im wondering is, how can i wire it up for a 5-way selector and a coil tap push pull pot so that the config is like so:

1) Bridge Humbucker
2) Bridge Humbucker + Mid Humbucker
3) Mid Humbucker
4) Mid Humbucker + Neck Humbucker
5) Neck Humbucker

and then pull the coil tap:

1) Bridge coil tap
2) Bridge coil tap + Mid coil tap
3) Mid coil tap
4) Mid coil tap + Neck coil tap
5) Neck coil tap

Took me a long time to type this lol

Very Frustrated... any help/wiring diagrams/links are appreciated

You can't really tap all three with the same push/pull, because its a dual throw switch. You can use triple pole mini toggle, but they aren't available everywhere. I would suggest you place the bridge and neck coil tap on one p/p, then the middle pickup on another. If I really thought long and hard, I might be able to tell you how to wire a 4-pole 5-way switch so it helps out, like by using the push/pull as a ground activator, and connecting the coil cut wires to appropriate spots on the switch..... Yup, I just figured it out in my head. Let me know if you want to buy a 4-pole switch for this job, otherwise use 2 p/p pots.

Do you mean coil cut?

You also have to decide which coil to leave on on each pickup. Dont forget that.

Nobodies gonna have a diagram for that. Not unless they draw and scan one themselves. Its really not difficult though. Guitar wiring is basic and simple. Your wiring is basically a strat wiring. 3 p/u's to a 5 way switch. Only between each p/u and the switch is your coil cut toggle.

Then from the output of the switch run through your volume and tone to the jack. It gets a little more involved if you want seperate tone or volume controls. But you just need to take a strat wiring, a simple 2 humbucker 1 vol 1 tone guitar wiring and combine them. Just make sure your coil cut toggle switch comes between each pickup and the switch.

Youl find all the info you need to do that by checking out the diagrams at seymourduncan.com and dimarzio.com
