- Bridge ground: Bridge ground; generic (Bridge ground wire)

## Specific to this wiring

- Each Triple Shot mounting ring is drawn as a PCB with W/G/B/R/Gnd pads only; two seymour-duncan-triple-shot-half catalog parts stand in for the ring’s dual DPDT switches using Seymour Duncan’s published pad-to-terminal legend (W→half-A T1, R→half-A T3, B→half-B T1, G→half-B T3, Gnd→switch casings).
- Ring harness white/black to the rest of the circuit matches the manufacturer sheet; internal DPDT throw wiring inside the ring is not drawn and is not modelled beyond the disclosed pad mapping.

## Connections

1. Humbucker gnd → Triple Shot half B (B/G/Gnd pads) T3 (wire, green)
2. Humbucker bare → Triple Shot half A (W/R pads) T5 (wire, bare)
3. Triple Shot half A (W/R pads) T5 → Triple Shot half B (B/G/Gnd pads) T5 (wire, ground)
4. Volume 500k lug1 → Volume 500k casing (wire, ground)
5. Volume 500k casing → Output jack sleeve (wire, black)
6. Bridge ground ground → Volume 500k casing (wire, black)
7. .047 µF b → Tone 500k casing (wire, ground)
8. Tone 500k casing → Volume 500k casing (wire, ground)
9. Humbucker black → Triple Shot half A (W/R pads) T1 (wire, white)
10. Humbucker white → Triple Shot half A (W/R pads) T3 (wire, red)
11. Humbucker hot → Triple Shot half B (B/G/Gnd pads) T1 (wire, black)
12. Triple Shot half B (B/G/Gnd pads) T2 → Volume 500k lug3 (wire, white)
13. Triple Shot half B (B/G/Gnd pads) T5 → Volume 500k lug1 (wire, black)
14. Volume 500k lug2 → Output jack tip (wire, black)
15. Volume 500k lug3 → Tone 500k lug1 (wire, signal)
16. Tone 500k lug2 → .047 µF a (wire, yellow)

## What each position does



- Triple Shot ring switching is a disclosed dual-DPDT stand-in; passive position analysis does not verify series/split/parallel modes inside the ring.
- Engine rule failures on the ring stand-in map are expected; topology matches visible pad and harness connections on the source sheet.
- Engine rule selectionReachesTip fails on the transcribed board; passive position analysis is not verified.
- Engine rule groundsReachSleeve fails on the transcribed board; passive position analysis is not verified.
- Engine rule seriesLinkIsolated fails on the transcribed board; passive position analysis is not verified.
- Engine rule requiredTerminalsWired fails on the transcribed board; passive position analysis is not verified.
