I swapped out the volume pot on my Charvel Model C for a push/pull pot so that I could get a sound that I liked out of the Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge.

  • what kind of guitar in the background on stand?

  • @bluehappyscrap

    It's a Jackson Soloist. I sold it a couple of months ago.

  • Where did you solder the ground on the coil split?

  • @InFuriatedShadows - I followed the wiring diagram on the Seymour Duncan site. However, the tab to be grounded on the push/pull pot that I used was too short to be bent and soldered to the bottom of the pot, so I used a short piece of wire.

    Hope this helps!

  • GOOD JOB!..... what song did you play when it was split?

  • Thanks sportsportsport!

    The chord progression is similar to that of a song by the Artist Formerly and Now Again Known as P... He (or his record company) is sensitive about pulling videos that have his music in them, so I won't say any more :p

  • Cool! I`m actally planning to do the same thing to my G&L Rampage Jerry Cantrell signature guitar. I bought it used from some guy who changed the custom wound alnico pup to a Dimarzio super dist. Since theres no tonecontrol and only one humbucker, I thought why not have the possibility to change the sound just a bit. Thanks for the vid and demo :o)

  • cool! rock on.

  • hurray for RATT!

  • The coil split sounds GREAT!!! I want to modify my guitar to have coil splitting, and series and parallel wiring.

  • Just dug my old single hb Kramer out of storage. I did some upgrading to it around '86-87 but had forgotten what kind of Seymour Duncan I had dropped in. Turns out it was pretty desirable DCJ coded SH-5. I was considering whether or not to add a little something to it while cleaning it up and this vid pretty much made my decision for me. Thanks, dude!

  • nice i want to do this with my guitar but on tone knob, nice to have strat sound from time to time
