Coil Tap & Reverse Phase w/ 50's Wiring

Hey everybody,

I decided to attempt the coil tap & reverse phase wiring using the diagram from Guitarelectronics.com as a rough guide, except I wanted to have master volumes in the middle position, as well as be able to use the 50's-style wiring. I wondered if this was all possible while using DPDT push/pull pots, so...after some thought and consideration for some of the information I've learned here on this great forum I gave it a go...

I just finished the project and am proud to say it is a success! I also wanted to post my own diagram in case any of you wanted to try it...it's a great mod and of course gives you full use of your volume and tone controls. Just remember...you have to have at least 3-conductor wiring from your pickups to do this mod.

Cheers!
