Jimmy Page-style wiring

The Jimmy Page-style wiring diagram, plus all 17 sounds it makes — series, parallel, phase and hum-cancelling worked out for every switch position.

Splits + series + phase

17 distinct sounds.

Scroll the diagram sideways to read it. Jimmy Page-style — Splits + series + phase. Drawn from the netlist: the wires cannot disagree with the circuit.

Parts

  • Neck humbucker (4-conductor)
  • Bridge humbucker (4-conductor)
  • 3-way toggle
  • 4× DPDT on-on (push-pull)
Every distinct sound this wiring produces, worked out from the circuit.

Wiring list

Every wire in solder order — grounds first, output last. The list is generated from the same netlist as the diagram.

  1. Solder a black wire from up-row lug, pole A on Split neck to up-row lug, pole A on Split bridge.
  2. Solder a black wire from up-row lug, pole A on Split bridge to down-row lug, pole A on Series.
  3. Solder a black wire from down-row lug, pole A on Series to up-row lug, pole A on Phase.
  4. Solder a black wire from up-row lug, pole A on Phase to down-row lug, pole B on Phase.
  5. Solder a black wire from down-row lug, pole B on Phase to the sleeve lug on the jack.
  6. Solder a white wire from middle (common) lug, pole A on Split bridge to the north finish lead from Bridge.
  7. Solder a white wire from the north finish lead from Bridge to the south finish lead from Bridge.
  8. Solder a white wire from the north finish lead from Neck to the south finish lead from Neck.
  9. Solder a white wire from the south finish lead from Neck to middle (common) lug, pole A on Split neck.
  10. Solder a red wire from the north start lead from Bridge to middle (common) lug, pole A on Phase.
  11. Solder a green wire from neck lug on Toggle to the north start lead from Neck.
  12. Solder a gray wire from the south start lead from Bridge to middle (common) lug, pole B on Phase.
  13. Solder a gray wire from up-row lug, pole A on Series to down-row lug, pole B on Series.
  14. Solder a gray wire from down-row lug, pole B on Series to down-row lug, pole A on Phase.
  15. Solder a gray wire from down-row lug, pole A on Phase to up-row lug, pole B on Phase.
  16. Solder a gray wire from the south start lead from Neck to middle (common) lug, pole A on Series.
  17. Solder a gray wire from bridge lug on Toggle to middle (common) lug, pole B on Series.
  18. Solder a gray wire from out lug on Toggle to the tip lug on the jack.
