12:55am - It works.
I don't think I'll get it to S/P, but everything behaves and all the sounds are usable. At least the control layout is how I like it and I have 6 switch positions to choose from.
Big thank you to jvpp, our local wizard, gent, and scholar.
The tele lives to play another day.

Congrats, everything goes easier after midnight. So how have you wired it? Draw us a schematic please and ask someone in your household the colours so you can label it.
Oh and I don't live in Darkville btw

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
I think I've coil tapped it. Switch down = normal hb operation so I'm happy with that, and switch up = whatever I did to it.
It isn't honky or middy like an out of phase sound.
Local because internet
I'll draw a diagram later on.

Wait.
I used this diagram (as a last ditch effort) and turned the red/white around.

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
You turned the red and white wire around But wait, there are two red and white wires!!!!
If you turned both of them around notning changes. If you do only one pair, ie, on the left side of the switch, you will have one pickup in single mode and the other as humbucker....
This is not what you asked for in your thread title. Ah well, as long as you are happy
ps - To implement the 1st schematic I drew for BOTH pickups, you would need TWO switches. And yes, it probably becomes a bit complex then...
I can't wait till you start rewiring a guitar with 3 humbucking pickups

Re: Please help: Series/Parallel diagram for the colour blind guy
Yeah, you're right - I couldn't get series parallel to go (not the way I wanted it to behave) and I was ... quite unimpressed with the thing.
Turning the red and white around changed the orientation of the switch. Down = normal, and that's half the battle.
It lunched its high E RIGHT after I tuned it, so it's in the corner in disgrace until further notice.
