Okay as some of you know i have been building another Floyd Rose Strat..I originally was going to build it like an ultra..Using lace Sensor pickups ..I was going to use a Red/Silver Dually in the bridge a standard Gold in the mid and either a Silver ,Blue or Hot Gold in the neck..I finally decided on the Blue for the neck but now i can't find a Blue lace sensor with a black cover with a reasonable price.
So today i come across a Blue/Gold dually and the wheels in my mind start turning ..I start thinking about getting a H.S.H pick guard and dropping the Blue /Gold dually in the neck position..The only problem is i want to be able to split both the Red/silver and the blue gold ..So i can have the red alone in the bridge and then both the blue and the gold as single coils in the neck along with it as a humbucker ..How would i go about doing this?Has anyone ever tried this before?
It would be an extremely versatile guitar with almost endless tone possibilities if i could figure out how to wire it ..Does anyone know where i could find a diagram for something like this or if there may be something available like this already in exsistance..if anyone can help i would be grateful..

Holy $@!&. Good luck dude, sounds hardcore if it works. Multiple S-1 style switches maybe, I have no clue obviously.

Google (or I guess now) Bing is your friend.

Good luck! :wink:

Never tried it, but, you could replace one of your tones with a 4 pos rotary switch wired for "off, full humbucker, blue coil, red coil" and wire it in to the circuit in the same way as a "neck on" switch, then either add a toggle or use your other tone or volume as a split for the bridge humbucker.

What I've found is that, even with versatile switching and such ... you don't wind up with the kind of tonal variation you would think. You spend a lot of time searching for the perfect switch combination, and while it's fun to play with, and I have wired up some of my axes with outrageous wiring schemes ... I've found I normally go back to the basics. I like a blender for the neck and if possible, throw in a phase reversal on either the bridge or neck. This covers just about everything I want. I mean, really, how much difference will there be with the bridge 'bucker and one of the neck coils vs. the other? My favorite HSH scheme is to wire the 2 buckers like PRS does, then use a 3 way toggle on the mid with positions for "off"," in phase" and "out of phase" This gives a ton of great tones and you don't need to go searching around for them.

There is an ebay seller newmetalshopmusic that sells preassembled PGs w/ lace sensors. I'm sure they can make yours for a reasonable price. $279 for a S-S-H config.

I think we may have this figured out..We are going to use a standard TBX system..With two mini toggle three position switches one for the Bridge Red/Silver one for neck Blue/Gold...The idea is with the toggles in the off position they will be in there normal dually configuration .Then as i go into the first position it will activate the Red of the Red/Silver the in its third position it will activate the silver only..The other toggle will work in the same way..Does this sound right?Does anyone see any flaws in this idea?

That looks right to me. a mini-switch for each dually sounds good and simple.

I think you'd need 2 DPDT On/On/On Mini-switches.

I made a pretty cool setup on my brother's guitar with is a single single dually gold lace setup. It's on my first and only post, and it turned out pretty cool.
