  • 5 way switch suggestions?

    I ordered some new parts like pots, jacks and switches from Stew Mac to repair a few of my Jackson's. I managed to screw up and order a 5 way for my Fusion Deluxe as opposed to a proper 3 way.

    Everything that I have read tells me that I can NOT coil split those two humbuckers unless I order the super 5 way no?

    Any other mods that will give me a single coil sound that I can use the 5 way with? Its not the end of the world to order another 3 way but i was looking for some variation in this jackson.

    For what it's worth the neck is a stock Jackson humbucker while the bridge is a Dimarzio Super 3.

    Well, I don't know, and I wouldn't mind finding out... But in any case it seems like a lot of music stores would carry a Tele 3-way?

        Oh ya! Its not like I can't run down to my Mom and Pop store and grab one but I was looking for some tonal variations that might be pulled off with the present 5 way switch.

          I've been fighting with 5-way superswitch schematics in one of my 2h charvels for 5 years now

            So you bought a normal 5 way and want it to work like a mega 5 way?

            I don't deal with normal 5 ways so I'll tip my hat to the guys on the seymour duncan forums. Ask them what can be done.
