Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 2: Middle rail-style single (both coils) and Bridge humbucker (split to one coil) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 3: Middle rail-style single (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 4: Neck rail-style single (both coils) and Middle rail-style single (both coils) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 5: Neck rail-style single (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Custom tapers are not reproduced; pots are simulated as linear. - Pickup resistance is not specified, so no numeric meter readings are given. ## Check before plugging in ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the DiMarzio diagram HSS Wiring with Rail-style Single Coils, revision 1.
