I'm seeking help in modifying my SE DGT that I bought used and have absolutely fallen in love with.
However...
Like the OP, I would like to be able to coil split each pickup individually. I am not a fan of push-pull pots. I find them clumsy and awkward to operate while playing (YMMV). I don't wish to get too crazy with adding perforations to the body, so I'm thinking I'll work with the existing control routes in the body. I'm leaning toward push-push pots instead of push-pull.
I also don't care for the stock volume knob configuration and I'm leaning towards a master volume where the bridge volume pot is. I tend to hang out more often on the neck pickup than the bridge pickup, although I do use both, as well as both at the same time.
So, basically, one master volume pot, and two push-push tone pots, first neck, then bridge, to allow tone tweaks individually per pickup, and the three way selector in it's original position.
I am not an "electronics" guy and I can't read a schematic, but I'm comfortable with the soldering required to accomplish this goal. I just don't know how to wire-up this configuration.
I will wire-up and install all new components and keep the original wiring harness intact so a "return to stock" is an option.
Where can I go to get a wiring diagram created that I can then build myself? Is there a service that does this. Best to consult a local tech?
I've done a lot of mod'ing/pickup swaps/etc. over the years, but this is just a bit more than I can sus out.
Also, any recommendations on push-push pots? Google searches thus far haven't really shown a lot of options. Are there quality push-push pots even available? Is there a more appropriate forum for this kind of thing?
Thanks in advance!
), I'm buying one or the other this week, and please note it will be my one and only guitar for now.
