Hey guys. I'm doing an upgrade on a steinberger and have changed the HSH setup to a HS.
Have a 4way switch with 2 pots and I'd like to have pos 1 as neck single coil, 2 neck and coil tapped bridge, 3 full bridge in series + neck, 4 bridge in series. I can't seem to find this setup anywhere online as a diagram and I'm having a brain melt trying to work it out. This is what I have so far..

Now I know that as it is I won't have the neck pickup on pos3 but I can't see how to connect it without joining it to pos4 too. Am I missing something here? Can someone show me a better way to do this please. I'm pulling what little hair I have left out here gaah

Hi
Only saw this post a while ago. On the humbucker you don't need to connect the coils via lower switch 2 (3 4) and C. Just join them and connect the joined pair to position 2 on switch. Use the switch to choose one coil or both.
3 and 4 on switch 2 for full humbucker, pin 2 for one coil.
Add a wire to position 3 to your N
Image
I always where possible connect the C or rotary centre to the output.

The only time you need to switch the 2 coils of humbucker, is when you want to change phase, I use a pull switch on volume when this is needed. Make sure the pot cases are connected to each other and ground.
Hope this helps

Not sure the tone pot will work. Seems like it needs a ground connection?

Tone pot is missing an earth on my diagram. Well spotted.. Mechanix has it correct, provided the case of the pot is earthed.

FWIW- http://www.dimarzio.com/sites/default/files/diagrams/1h1s1v1t_ep1112.pdf

Takes a different switch but you get a better selection.
And there is a difference between coil-tap and splitting.

Hope this helps.
