Hello All!
I have a Lawrence humbucker(L-550), that I have put into an old Harmony Silhouette (I just use it for messing around, cool little guitar from 1965). I want to keep the guitar as a single pickup arrangement, but I'd like to wire the Lawrence to do a few more things than just straight-forward humbucking tones.
Ideally, I'd like the choice of having it work as either a humbucker or as a single-coil pickup. How do I go about wiring it so that this is possible? I'll probably want to use a slide switch, too, as that is more in keeping with the overall look of the guitar.
The Lawrence has 4 wires (red, white, green, black, plus a bare strand for ground), and the rest of the chain would be the switch, a volume and a tone pot, and the jack.
Any diagrams out there for single humbuckers used this way? Most diagrams I have seen assume that you have 2 separate humbuckers, or a mixture of humbuckers and single-coil units....
Thanks in advance for your help!
