DGT wiring help? (I want to reverse the coil split)

[ruger9]

I have decided that, being a single coil neck guy, I want to wire my DGT's neck pickup as a single coil by default. But still have humbucker operation accessible with the tone knob.... meaning: reverse the wiring of the tone knob: knob down = neck single coil, knob up = neck humbucker. Without affecting how the bridge pickup works (I realize this means I can never have both pickups in single coil mode at the same time, and that's fine).

Is this a simple procedure of just moving wires on the Push Pull pot? I can solder, but understanding the wiring isn't something I've ever done a deep dive on; I follow diagrams all these years no problem.

Thanks for any help!

you may want to consider just throwing a mini toggle in there instead.

Super easy.

In the diagram, you'll see the tap wire is soldered to the push/pull lug closest to the pot. Just move the neck tap wire to the lug farthest from the pot.

The catch is, when you pull the pot up, you'll have humbucker neck and single coil bridge. So not only can you not have both single coils at once, you can't have both humbuckers at once.

Another option is to replace one of your volumes with a push/pull so you can control the splits separately.

Or, if you never split the bridge pickup, just remove the bridge tap wire from the push/pull and tape it off.

I was hoping to get, with the PP pot DOWN, single neck and HB bridge.

Try a push/push pot?

How about changing one of the volume pots to a push/push or push pull and have each pickup on a different pot/switch?
