About the Wiring:
The wiring uses 3 push-push pots so that each of the humbuckers can be split to a single coil. The Middle pickup splits to its south coil and the Neck & Bridge pickups split to their north coils so that Positions 2 & 4 will still be hum cancelling when split. Position 3 is all 3 pickups in parallel with no tone control.

Guitar has a wide range of resistance settings with mix and match of push-push coil splits. Capable of chicken-pickin' country, jazz, smooth blues, roaring rock, to stoner doom metal, the sonic possibilities are endless.

5-Way Switching:

1. Bridge – Tone 2  -- (Resistance 14.58 ohms, coil split - 7.30 ohms)
2. Bridge & Middle – Tone 1 -- (Resistance 4.79 ohms, both coil split - 2.40 ohms)
3. All 3 Pickups – No Tone -- (Resistance 2.86 ohms, all 3 coil split - 1.43 ohms)
4. Neck & Middle – Tone 1  -- (Resistance 3.53 ohms, both coil split - 1.78 ohms)
