Mustang with single switch wiring ?

Post by soulgolem » Thu Oct 31, 2019 11:10 pm

is there a diagram somewhere of a mustang guitar using only one of its switches in this manner :

1- bridge only
2- bridge + neck
3- neck only

reason being one of my switches is faulty and i don’t use the out of phase sound anyway, would actually be more useful for me to change from bridge to neck with a single switch, thank you.

Take a look at the diagram there. Pretty sure you would just put the hot wires from each pickup where the green wires go into the selector switch, and the ground wires from each pickup would each be soldered onto one of the pots.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

This was posted on OSG a while ago, and I used it on one of my builds. Worked fine as far as I recall.

I used the "zigzag" method as it appears in a bunch of the schematics from Shadoweclipse13's Master Schematic Page for mine.

Some of the simplest examples (just ignore the coil-split/kill switch stuff):
