Mustang Series/Parallel wiring help please

Post by JSett » Thu Jul 08, 2021 10:50 pm

Hey all, hopefully someone can help with this as I can’t seem to fathom a way to do it.

Mustang wiring, but with 1 slider as just a simple pickup selector (bridge/both/neck) and the second slider to switch between series/parallel - if possible. I’ve tried sketching a few ways out but always end up being stuck with one pickup on where it shouldn’t be :fp:

Can anyone think of a way and possibly doodle on this to help a brother out?

Funny, I just changed the wiring in my newly acquired Mustang from this schematic to the traditional one, lol.
Are you using the stock pick ups?

Not quite stock. I have some slightly overwound ones on the way, nothing fancy

In order to add some height to the low output pick ups and get them closer to the strings I removed the springs from under the pickguard. Like my action kind of high :freako: .
