Matthew- What do you want to do with the rotary switch? And what kind of rotary switch do you have? John |

Matthew, the Seymour Duncan site: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/ has a lot of wiring diagrams. Maybe it will help you. |

Using one of the 'standard' setups from the Duncan site, or trying out some combos with the pickups in a cheap 'test guitar' might give you some ideas. Cheers John |

the links dont quite have what i want, im talking 5-way switch, humbuckers for the bridge and neck (specifically Gibson 57 classic) and a single-coil for the middle (specifically Gibson P-94R - Humbucker-Sized P-90 - Single Coil) wired to 500k pots with .20 capacitors for the tone. and obviously a jack. |

If you're not interested in running the humbuckers in single-coil/'split' mode, then you can just treat them like any single coil pickup - you'll have three pickups with two leads each- and one of the leads from each pickup will be connected to ground. So the wiring becomes fairly simple. I'm not sure about the output levels of your humbuckers and P-90 and how they will work when played together, but you will have a volume control on each pickup to help with that issue. Cheers John |

Matthew- If you don't already own one, keep your eyes open for a cheap multimeter (needle-type- not digital). It's a big help in figuring out how switches work, and other 'troubleshooting' stuff. It's not that complicated, really- you'll see! Cheers John |
