Ok, the old electronics are out of the guitar...give me a diagram to wire this guitar up

[Matt300ZXT]

All the old electronics are out of the Warrior with the fucked up wiring; occasionally squealy bridge pickup and neck (that neither had the covers soldered), piezo bridge and all.

The switch isn't Switchcraft (unless they made unlabeled ones) but it still works for now. I may buy a Switchcraft one with a nice new metal gold tip.

I may just get a couple DiMarzio 36th PAFs for this guitar so I can still have a capable playing guitar that has lower output pickups so it won't be as wide-open throttle all the time like my other guitars that all have hotter pickups.

I can find a diagram to wire it up (2 pickups, 3 way toggle, 1 volume, 1 tone) but give me some ideas on how to use and wire up these 2 2 position mini dpdt switches. Maybe 1 as a neck tap, the other as a bridge tap? Or maybe 1 can tap both pickups and the other be some sort of out of phase sound or something? It may be cool to have some other options rather than just the regular neck, neck/bridge, bridge the toggle switch does.

Splitting the bridge never gives you anything good. Splitting the neck can though, depending.


I would wire one up as a neck tap and the other as a blower switch to bypass all electronics and send bridge straight to output. This sends bridge full blast regardless of any switch or knob settings on the guitar.

One option is to split the neck and the bridge to keep it simple. Splitting the bridge can be beneficial for cleans.

You could also have one split the neck and the other switch put a small bypass cap on the volume knob so it acts like a treble boost when the volume is rolled back. When combined with the neck split it could offer some badass high gain treble boost solo tones or really dynamic cleans.

One easy mod for a switch is to take those connections that are normally connected and then shrink-wrapped (i.e. the wires that connect the two coils) and connect them to each other. It doesn't cut the output by much and just gives you a slightly different, more scooped tone. So in that mod you would keep the wires connected for each pickup but instead of shrink-wrapping them you just connect each pair to the switch. Two lugs.
