## Specific to this wiring

- Each volume push/pull uses the x50 series/parallel DPDT pattern.
- Down is series; pulled is parallel for that pickup.
- Each tone is fed from its volume input lug with a .047 µF cap to the tone casing.
- Blade tags mapped by function.

## What each position does

- Neck; p4=down p5=down: Neck Pickup (both coils). Source: Engine reading; pulling an SP push/pull puts that pickup in parallel.
- Neck; p4=down p5=up: Neck Pickup (both coils) and Bridge Pickup (both coils). Source: Engine reading; pulling an SP push/pull puts that pickup in parallel.
- Neck; p4=up p5=down: Neck Pickup (coils in parallel). Source: Engine reading; pulling an SP push/pull puts that pickup in parallel.
- Neck; p4=up p5=up: Neck Pickup (coils in parallel) and Bridge Pickup (both coils). Source: Engine reading; pulling an SP push/pull puts that pickup in parallel.
- Neck+Bridge; p4=down p5=down: Neck Pickup (both coils) and Bridge Pickup (both coils) in parallel. Source: Engine reading; pulling an SP push/pull puts that pickup in parallel.
