Here's a Brian Moore guitar installed with Suhr Doug Aldrich humbuckers. The customer left the wiring ideas to me and I suggested using a super switch with a push pull to get 10 sounds and all hum cancelling.
The Guitar
A plastic sheet is used to prevent the copper foil from shorting out the switch
After the wiring is completed
The entire wiring plus circuit design almost took me 2 hours. The results were worth it as most of the sounds were useable. Here's how the wiring configuration goes:
With push pull down:
1) Neck/series - Standard humbucker wiring
2) Neck/parallel - Cleaner single coil like tone
3) Neck/series parallel with Bridge/Series - similar to Les paul middle pos
4) Bridge/parallel - Cleaner single coil like tone
5) Bridge/series - Standard humbucker wiring
With push pull up:
1)Outer coils/series - Similar to a Hot tele middle position
2)Outer coils/parallel - Simiar to above with less mids and output
3)Outer coils/series parallel with inner coils/series - similar to les paul middle pos with more mids and highs
4)inner coils/parallel - Simlar to strat middle and bridge in parallel
5)Inner coils/series -Similar to above except hotter and more mids
The descriptions are approximations of the 'real deal' but this is an example of how a standard 3 sound guitar has now become ultra versatile with some thought to the wiring. 10 sounds is probably overkill for most guitar players, but the options available here are all stage worthy which is the most important consideration.
