Hi Folks, new to the board so be nice. I'm looking for the best schematic for a project I'm building for a friend.

He wants a Gibson 57 Classic installed in the bridge position with a hot lipstick in the neck.

I've seen just about everything but what I'm looking for. Can anyone help?? I would like to use a 5 way switch to have some different pickup options if possible.

The 57 Classic is a two conductor humbucker, so you can't split coils. At most you could get an additional pickup combination - bridge and neck in series. Running two hot pickups in series could choke off the signal, but it might work.

You'd have more choices if your friend would agree to a more modern design like a 490.

Just about every pickup combo you could imagine, and if they don't have it the exact set up you are looking for, they probably have several that feature the type pickups you are dealing with, and you could probably figure it out from there...
