Danelectro U3 series wiring help?

Post by garyptaszek » Thu Jul 08, 2021 2:16 pm

I’ve been having a look online to find a schematic but alas nothing.
I’m basically trying to modify the wiring to I get series instead of parallel when combining two pickups.
I don’t see myself using the “blow” switch so I’ve been trying to work out if there’s anyway the blow switch could instead act as a series/parallel switch... but I think I’m in over my head.

Any wiring wizards out there who could point me in the right direction.

I’ve found some wiring diagrams for adding a series parallel switch to a strat, which might work.
But what I’d really like is for the blow switch to select the bridge+middle pickups in series.
I’m not sure if that’s possible.

I managed to get hold of the guy who designed these guitars via the wonders of the internet.
The pickup combinations are already series.
So if I want the blow switch to turn on just the middle+bridge pickups I might be able to disconnect the neck pickup from the blow switch.
