Jazzcaster
What to do with 3 dimarzio tapped stratocaster pickups? What would be a good way to prototype for alternate wiring possibilities on a stratocaster? What if we put these pickups on a modified jazzmaster body? (This guitar is still hypothetical) Hmmm…
Features
- Individual Pickup selection for each pickup with coil tap option
- Phase switches for bridge and neck pickups
- 5-way super switch controls series/parallel combinations
Switch Details
Individual Pickup Selection
3 mini-toggles located on the upper bout control each pickup. Each toggle has 3 positions, off, tapped, and full-on.
Pickup Orientation
A strat-style 5-way switch located on the lower body in the control area is used to determine series/parallel orientation. The 5 options on this switch include all possible combinations for the 3 pickups in the following order (neck/middle/bridge):
- PPP
- SSP
- SPS
- PSS
- SSS
…where the standard strat neck position equals all parallel, and the standard strat bridge position equals all series.
Phase Switches
2 phase switches are located on the lower bout and are used to reverse phase of the neck and bridge pickups respectively.
