This should be a standard wiring for Custom 24.
The PTC has created a wiring mod for the 5 way blade switch. The PTC can add a push/pull pot to your existing guitar to give you 3 additional singlecoil settings.
You get the 5 standard settings from your switch when the push/pull pot is in the down position, but in the UP position, the humbuckers are tapped to single coils. Giving you 3 additional settings (position 1, 2 and 4 are identical)
So, here are the standard positions with push/pull in the Down position:
■Position 1: Bridge humbucker
■Position 2: Bridge humbucker with neck singlecoil, in parallel
■Position 3: Bridge and neck humbuckers
■Position 4: Neck singlecoil with bridge singlecoil, in parallel
■Position 5: Neck humbucker
And this is what you could get with the push/pull in the UP position:
■Position 1: Bridge Single coil (coil closest to neck)
■Position 2: Bridge Singlecoil (coil closest to the neck)
■Position 3: Bridge and neck single coils (coils closest to the neck)
■Position 4: Bridge singlecoil (coil closest to the neck)
■Position 5: Neck Singlecoil (coil closest to the neck)
This mod will add another chapter to an already versatile instrument. The price is $125 plus shipping
If you're interested, please complete the form found here: https://www.prsguitars.com/ptc/contact.html and we can get the process going.
Hey Shawn,
Can you perform this mod on a P22 as well?...
Thanks
Joe Shultz
Hi Shawn,
Is there anyway that one could get hold of a 5-way rotary drop in replacement that would give older PRS guitars equipped with the 5-way rotary the new switching positions? Maybe then this new add-on could also be added?
^^^ We can do it with a rotary switch as well^^^
Shawn and I exchanged PMs (thanks Shawn!) and PTC doesn't offer this anymore and can't get me schematic for non-standard items.
With the 5X/0X pickups I believe the white lead is the tap.
post your results, its a learning and sharing process!!!:beer:I'll probably end up experimenting. If I can't get it to work the way I want, I can just put it back the way it was.
