“Example part” means any part with the same value and lugs will do; the source does not name a brand. “Generic” stands in for an unspecified pickup: check your own pickup's lead colours before you solder.
Specific to this wiring
- schemeCode HH_DEFAULT on EP1112-style master switch.
Connections
In soldering order: grounds first, then the switch, the pickups and the signal path.

What each position does
| Setting | The source | Engine result |
|---|
Not simulated: this circuit is drawn for reference only.
- The catalog selector model does not reach the output jack on every drawn throw (selectionReachesTip); position labels follow the source sheet, not a verified simulation table.
- Some coil grounds reach the jack sleeve only through the drawn coil network (groundsReachSleeve); topology is transcribed as shown.
- Series-link wires sit on the signal path as drawn; the engine rejects that topology (seriesLinkIsolated) but the transcription matches the manufacturer diagram.
Before you solder
Ticks are kept in this browser only, as a reminder. They are not a check of your joints. New to soldering? Read the soldering cheat sheet.
Check before plugging in
Measure across the output jack with a multimeter on its resistance range. No exact readings are given where the source does not specify the pickups.
