This web site records my personal investigations into guitar wiring, in the hope that they may be of interest or benefit to others. The ideas are developed from my own guitar modifications, my knowledge as an engineer, and study of information available on the internet.
I believe that the information presented here is true, but cannot offer and guarantee! I would be grateful for any opinions or views.

Notes on how to select the phase of pickup combinations to give minimum hum, with 2, 3 or 4 coils, in-phase or out-of-phase.
Ideas on switching for this versatile combination, from simple to complex.
This is my guitar, with twin humbuckers and 30 sounds.
To access all of the wiring possiblities with humbucking pickups,you need to have connections to each end of coil. This describes the conversion of open-coil humbuckers to four conductors plus screen.
