Guest MoJo Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Does anyone have the wiring schematic to convert a standard Stingray pickup, wired in parallel with two tails to a pickup with four tails that I could wire through a switch to give series/parallel options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If you open the pickup up out of its casing there should be a wire linking the two halves, this wire needs splitting in two to make the two additional tails you require. Essentially you are sparating the unit so you will have two single coil pickups. But be warned, you could make a right mess of it if you're not careful because the coil wrap wire is extremely delicate and the link wire will be soldered directly on to the coils. If you break the coil wrap wire (e.g. with heat from the soldering iron) you have a dead pickup. Once you have your four tails you can wire them in series, parallel or humbucking (one coil out of phase - i.e. swap the + and - wires around) or all three with some complicated switchery.

Guest MoJo Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Pick up is being sorted by Andy at Wizard but thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 A wise choice! That is the very person who I would recommend to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
