blower switch plus wiring
I had a customer that wanted a blower switch installed on his James Tyler HSS style Strat. Simple enough, except that he wanted the full humbucker to go through the volume pot as well. The HB was a 4 wire and incorporated a toggle switch to split coils. I scratched my head for a while, drew up a diagram and breadboarded it. It requires a 6PDT switch which was the hardest part of this job to find something that fits. When the switch is thrown, the neck and middle PUPS short to ground to mute, the coil split connection to ground of the HB is lifted, and the 5 way switch output goes open to switch the HB straight to the volume pot. I had 2 days to turn this around in my busy shop over the weekend. It works. Just wondering how others might have approached this? The picture is my breadboard test. I'll try to put a final pic up of the switch and guts soon. Thanks. As I write this, I realize that I could have used a 3PDT switch and not implemented the coil mute/grounding of the single coils. Leave it to me to make it more complicated than needed.
