I've got a couple DiMarzios I'm going to throw in my Warrior MG... an X2N and a Super 2. The three-way switch and EMG HZ pups and turbo booster have been ripped out and the guitar's now got a five-way switch. Positions 1, 3 and 5 I want to be wired like normal humbuckers (in series), but I'm not sure how I want to split 2 and 4. My Fender Double Fat Strat has a switch like this with position 2 as the inner coils of both pups, and position 4 is the top coil of the neck that does get a little typical single coil noise.
A normal humbucker has the two coils wired in series, but I know the coils can be wired in parallel to approximate single coil sounds with no hum. Is this close enough to a single coil sound, or should I just split the coils and live with the hum? Or should I split the two pickups' outer coils or maybe an outer and inner?
There's one volume and one tone control and, to make matters even more complicated, the empty third hole where the turbo booster was will be replaced with a Chandler Tone-X midboost push/pull pot. I've never done my own wiring before and don't really know where to start, but I think I want to try it. How would I wire this whole thing up? I'm actually still waiting for the midbooster to arrive, so nothing's been done yet. [img]graemlins/help.gif[/img]
