Hello, I’ve got a question regarding the wiring of the Custom 24 in my avatar: is it possible to wire the 5-way switch as 1: bridge humbucker 2: bridge split 3: both humbuckers 4: neck split 5: neck humbucker I would much rather have this configuration as I don’t get much use out of the single coil/humbucker combinations in positions 2 and 4. I’m not concerned about noise or different levels, I just want separate neck and bridge single coil tones! Have a good one! Carl
Not very... I am planning on handing it over to a professional for the actual soldering, but I wanted the real expert opinions first.
If you're paying someone I'd consider doing the push pull bridge split mod that's been posted on these forums. I love it on my Custom 22. Anyway, to do what you originally asked for without additional controls would looks like this: anonymous image hosting
Ok, thanks! I’ve looked into doing the 3-way thing, but the only switches I can find are the round Switchcraft ones. Are there any 3-way blade switches available that fit the same hole/two screws as the original 5-way?
I dunno 100% if this one fits (maybe ask PTC), but it seems like it would: https://us.prsaccessories.com/collections/parts/products/3-way-blade-switch If you do that you’d have to add back some controls (push pulls are easy enough) to get any splitting capability.
The 3 way blade from a torero is the same hole pattern as USA 5 way. I had a torero and swapped out the 3 way blade for the usa 5 way. Direct drop in no mods.
Here's my take. Left side version gives you slug coils, or wire like right side for screw coils (my choice), or mix and match.
Three-way and five-way blade switches are interchangeable. I have not run into trouble with a swap regardless of brand or origin.
