Yes. Video idea Where do we look for guitars to practice on. Fix them up and resale. Not even profit but practice. Seems they always require more than the value can handle???

Hey Phil! How about making or repairing instrument cables. Mainly TS, TRS, and XLR? Seems like something that could be a useful skill since cables are so expensive and it seems fairly simple. Of course, not simple enough to not make a video about 😂

Phil, can you do one with PPAT-520 pots? I can’t find anything online on how to wire these.

Awesome, straightforward and easy to understand video. LOVE it!!

Thanks Phil, videos like this are super helpful, cant get enough of this type of content. Thank you for all your effort

Thanks For this Informative Video Phil!

Your videos are always top notch thanks so much phil for everything you do!

Thanks Phil. I think I will try that with a couple of my guitars. I love these videos, very helpful.

I'm just getting ready to attempt this! Great timing Phil!

Wow what a clear and concise short video diagram! Thanks Phill! (Ill still manage to Fugg this up)

Thank you for doing the CTS one, I couldn't figure out which lug was which!

Thank you Phil. Love the videos.

Always good content, always informative. Great job.

Love these videos. So helpful !

Thank you for simplifying this process! I just got a mojo switch too and wasn't sure if I was going to have to pay someone to wire it.

Thank you Phil! You just got me out of a jam. Please keep making great videos. 👍

Well done. That was so simple.

Your video was awsome, took me 5 minutes ,superb. Thank you Phil 😊 🙏

Thank you for posting this tutorial!

Thanks best tutorial of this process on KZread.

Yes I need this video thanks Phil 👍

MAN!!! Thanks I loved that

Awesome Phil, good stuff!

Thanks bro just what I needed 🙂

I like the tech videos Phil !

Great Job Man.🎸🎶🎸

Philip, You are the best

Very helpful, thanks

THANK YOU

Cheers! Good looking guy! Good informations. Thank you!

appreciate this.... I am stumped, trying to wire a double P bass I made, but having little luck in finding wiring diagrams!

So so thanks illio

Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks Phil!

DUDE THANK YOU

Tomorrow my switch comes. I got the one you said you like best. I have an electronics background. (My father was a robot)... that's a joke.... so this looks incredibly easy. The Pups are TV Jones PowerTrons.... I will let you know if they sound good coil split or not. ....2 days later, yes! Excellent sound! These pups are hotter other TV Jones and I used the 500k pot. They sound noticeably closer to the Fender tone I am after. If you can afford a Fender then thats the best option but if $10 is all you can muster then this is a viable option.

May i suggest a complete serious on how you would approach building a guitar from start to finish over the next few months , thank you very much, i know there are alot of tips on your channel spread throughout but if its a series it can be easier to find and really easy to learn with steps

You make it so easy

Thank you very much!!!

A couple of questions, 1) So you ignore the lugs on the “round” part of the pot entirely??? 2) What do you do if you have a second pot in a Les Paul or Explorer type installation? Do you wire both pickups to the single pot or do you do one to each and install two coil split pots?

Gran video hermano, ni a los que lo explican en español les entendí tanto como a tí

I'm commenting and watching this (actually just playing it before I go get the dogs) just to help out a bit. :)

I’ve watched many of your vids. You’re one of the best content creators on KZread. Thanks for videos like this one. You’re a great teacher.

Thank you series? Great tutorial. M Would you know what push/pull pots will fit an Ibanez S serires?

Thanks so much for this video. I got a used guitar and one of the wires came loose probably during shipping. The guy who soldered it might be the only man on Earth whose skillz with a soldering iron are worse than mine. Every lug had solder on it (I'm guess he installed via trial and error) so I had no idea which one the wire fell off of. Thanks again my guitar works but I'm probably going to take it to a pro and have this mess sorted out.

This is that CONTENT

Thanks for the great video! Is it possible to use the same kind of push-pull pot to do series/parallel switching? I would love to see a video on that..😃

Very useful tip and very well explained as always. I did this wiring with a mini switch and it's working fine. I can hear the change in tone and volume. However, I noticed that in split position the inactive/grounded coils produce a sound when tapped with a metal stick like a screwdriver or so. Is that a normal behavior? Or should I check my wiring?

Watching in the morning, first thing.

Oh my gosh Phil, you are literally are an answer to my prayers. I just finished a kit build and I ordered some guitar fetish pickups and their diagram is absolutely wrong according to your tutorial. Any chance you could confirm? They have a wiring diagram section on their website, I have 2 tones, 2 volumes, LP configuration with standard coil tap. Strange thing though the bridge is splitting just fine without grounding 1&3 (just 1 is grounded) but I needed to ground both 1&3 to get the neck to split. So confused, but so grateful for this very simple to understand tutorial to fix my issue

? Phil thank you and I have a question please, I would like to use the CTS pot as my tone control so where would I connect the capacitor? And which one (if any) of the 3 stand off lugs get grounded ?

Oh the annoyances of these damn things. BUT.....they work....Cut my teeth on these buggers when I stuck a DiMarzio FRED in a bridge of a Michael Kelly T-type guitar. Wired for tapping rather than splitting. Wonderful Video, Phil! And excellent work on your showcase video of all your guitars!

Cool vidoe Phil, could you do another one for a Push/Push circuit?

Hello sir can you show how to do a clean wiring on the guitar that using/need a lot of power?.. I mean I connected the hot from the input jack into the volume pot terminal together with my killswitch and also the treble bleed also so the lug was so fit that makes me difficult to solder them.. thank you in advance

Finally a video explaining that in detail and not just shoving a phone in a guitar cavity expecting me to know. Thank you

How would you do a stacked dual with push pull, using it for tone/volume/split?

Wiring is my weakest skill. For some reason I've struggled to understand parts of it my whole life. I've wired 100's of guitars, built pups, done repairs for years. As long as I have a diagram I'm ok. I'm really glad these will be here for a reference!! Thanks much Phil!! 8) JMHO --gary

Would they work for pots with hss wiring for volume and tone and three mini toggle switches?

Can you do it to your Hollowbody 2 SE? I have one and am interested in doing this but I don't know if I can fish it out

do you still have to use a compacitor with these if the push push pot is tone type a or do these allow you to not have to have a compacitor

I have a question is it possible to put a Ibanez style neck on a squier stagemaster guitar they are both 24 fret and same scale length

Thank you for the video! Quick question for you: I’m doing a single humbucker instead of 2, but does it really not matter what side you solder the white and red wires to? Since I’m only doing 1 pickup I’ve seen some diagrams say to do it on the right, and some say on the left. But I guess it doesn’t matter? Is that right! Thanks !

Question for all. Is it typical to coil split on the volume pots or the tone pots on a LP style guitar? Asking because I really don't know. Just ordered a set of 4 conductor "hot" Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers 'under a P90' for my '59 re-issue Epiphone Gold Top". Also plan on adding a 'String Butler', Hipshot classic upgrade tuners and am super curious if the 8.5 mm Hipshot tuners will fit the factory headstock holes. The guitar is a late 90's/early 2000's Korean made Epiphone '59 Gold Top' with soap bar P90's. Any help and input would be appreciated.

Great information, and simple enough explaning what to do. My only problem is that us older folks have hearing issues (among other things) and for me you talked really fast. It required me stopping and backing up a good bit so it ended up being a lot longer than it was. That's all. We aren't all young ladies and men 😉. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It is very much appreciated. 😁😎.

What if you have two ground wires and a resistor? I'm wiring up a coil split on my Squier Telecaster, the bridge pickup is Seymour Duncan rails with a 3way switch, 1 tone, 1 volume pot

Where does the other end of the ground wire connect to? I have a PRS SE and just installed a Duncan Distortion, but I'm not hearing the split when I pull the tone pot. It seems like they have their black ground wire on the middle post, which doesn't seem right, but it had been working with the old pickup. Any idea?

Would you say that construction-wise the two different PP's are equal in quality and tone?

How do I do this so I can use the tone pot to change the neck pickup of a les Paul to cool split

Is there a way two have 1 push pull pot for 2 humbuckers with independent volume for each? I mean when pushed controls volume of neck hum when pulled controls volume of bridge hum.

What do you do with the other 3 pickup wires? Im running 1 humbucker in the bridge with no switch.

It is straight forward okay 👌

Do coil split pots affect the over all tone of the pick-ups?

I hear that if you Put a resister on the hot wire, from the push pull pot, about 7k you get a partial split. This partial split gives about 20% power in the second coil, meaning your split humbucker isn't as quiet as a normal one. This is the Franklin method

I got a newbie question, after I did this mod I found out both north coils were split, which is not the middle position tone i was going for. I wanted both outer coils. How do i go about doing it? I did it on the volume put with alligator wires and I just connected the one I wanted to change, to the hot of the volume. I just don't understand how to do the same on the tone pot.

Phil - Would this make a difference if you did this with the tone pot or the volume pot? I’m not certain which one to replace sine I seen it done both ways. I have a push pull on my tone knob on my Suhr and push pull on my volume on my Charvel.

The only thing that would change is the wiring at the 3-lug terminals at the bottom.

How to wire the capacitors if im using the cts push pull on my tone knobs

Which wires go from the MOJO to volume and which go to a single tone? .Thanks

My guitar's push/pull is supposedly wired as a coil split stock....but it has a capacitor on it. What is that for?

It it also possible to change a coil split push pull into a out of phase switch?

What about series/parallel on push pull together with coil split on second push pull? 🙏🙏🙏

HI there, can you explain how to fix a pot that also doubles as an on/off switch. I took one apart in a small amplifier, to clean it, and now the knob no longer 'clicks' to turn it on an off.

Behringer pedals?

I cant seem to find anywhere what the wire color coding on a set of PRS 85/15 TCI pickups is.

Is it the same with Push/Push? 😇

How do I know if I need a 500k or 250k? Long or short shaft? (It's a Harley Benton Hot Rod with a humbucker strat pickup in the bridge but they cheaped out on the coil split and sent me one without it.)

How different is the wiring for a push push switch on a single coil so that you have all three pick ups at once?

Bro what happened? You usually make didactic how to videos , maybe it is me , however I cannot denied that this video did not help me to understand , perhaps if I see it few more times it will be clear for me , thank you anyways , you rock !!!!

Is this wiring when you use the vol or the tone pot for coil splitting?

@EverythingisFire

The split part he's explaining would be for either/or.

Call me dense but I would not be confident in wiring up a switch after watching that Phil. Slow down, take your time. If I want to do that job, then I have the patience to watch a longer, clearer video.

​@@userdeleted4723i think that was precisely his point. A slightly longer video could help those who are not computer engineer students. This as a general feedback.

Seems really straightforward.

How do you wire two guitar pickups into ONE push/pull pot? Specifically. Single Coil Neck and a Bridge Humbucker into on PUSH/PULL pot.

how many different PU positions can you get from one 4 wire humbucker ? I'm guessing it's 3 or maybe 2--- what is the most robust toggle switch out there..... I'm doing a 1 knob system. Is there a way to use the a push pull switch as some kind of tone selector or any other use...... also going to have a kill switch ----

Please help me I have a Yamaha pasifica 112v but my wires are black and white 2 of 1 and one of the other I just don’t if it goes white black white or another combination can you tell me 🤷🏻‍♂️👊🏻

Noob question- I'm assuming this is done on the tone pot?

I did exactly everything you showed here . Then when it came to to play the volume knobs don’t work . Like it’s always on and I can’t seem to roll the volume off . Any idea why ? I soldered the 3 terminal to the body to make it a volume but it didn’t work what am I doing wrong here?

Okay, but what the hell do you do with the green and shield wired?

Where to connect green and white?

how would you wire a push pull knob if you only want the neck humbucker split?

@EverythingisFire

8 ай бұрын

Did you figure it out? I believe it would be you'd be sending the two wires from your neck, like he's showing, to one of the "C" terminal's . The two wires you would use for coil splitting are going to be soldered together & not to anything else.

How do I remove the pot. I unscrewed screw but seems stuck. I don’t want to break it

I was watching this video 3 times wondering what we do with the other wire? And then it hit me that it goes to the switch for pickup selecting...

Is it possible to wire 2 humbuckers to a single push pull pot so it works to both humbuckers?
