I just bought a Suhr harness for my HSS strat so that the singles can 250k and the bridge can see 500k

I also, ordered a push/pull pot so that I can split the humbucker, but here is where my confusion is. I'm not sure which wires to hook up or which poles I want (or should) use. I know there are two wires soldered together but not sure which one to use? :confused:

Do I want to tap the coil with the studs or the screws? The poles with the screws is closest to the bridge

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Suhr has the same wiring as Duncan. You use both wires that are tied together (red, white) to tap the coil. Something like this.

I think you should find the wiring diagrams from Suhr's website?
 
Got it figured out :thumbsup:

Could only tap coils closest to the bridge (the ones with the screws). When I tried the other I had a crazy out of phase thing going on
 
I also bought a Suhr wiring harness so that the humbucker sees 500k and the two singles see 250k


All is good now! :thumbsup:
