Series/split/parallel humbucker wiring

2 Series/split/parallel humbucker wirings side by side, each with its full diagram and every sound it makes — series, parallel, phase and hum-cancelling worked out per switch position.

On-on-on (middle: lugs 2-3 + 4-5)

split gives the south coil

Scroll the diagram sideways to read it. Series/split/parallel humbucker — On-on-on (middle: lugs 2-3 + 4-5). Drawn from the netlist: the wires cannot disagree with the circuit.

Parts

Bridge humbucker (4-conductor)
on-on-on (middle closes 2-3 + 4-5)
2× 500k audio
0.022 µF tone cap

Every distinct sound this wiring produces, worked out from the circuit.

Something wrong, or missing?

A wrong diagram is worse than no diagram. If a lug, a colour or a sound looks off — or your guitar is not here — say so and it gets looked at.
