# Two humbuckers, three-way blade, two push/pull series/parallel volumes Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/two-humbuckers-blade-two-push-pull-series-parallel-volumes Two humbuckers · Three-way blade · Two push/pull volumes (series/parallel each) Neck and bridge Seymour Duncan humbuckers, each with a 500k push/pull volume that switches that pickup between series and parallel coils, before a three-way blade. No tone control. Drawing: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/two-humbuckers-blade-two-push-pull-series-parallel-volumes.svg (back of controls) ## Parts and values - Neck Pickup: Neck Pickup; generic (Humbucker (four-conductor, Seymour Duncan colours)) - Bridge Pickup: Bridge Pickup; generic (Humbucker (four-conductor, Seymour Duncan colours)) - 3-Way Blade Switch: 3-way blade; compatible example (CRL 3-Way Blade) - Neck Volume 500k push/pull series/parallel: Neck Volume 500k push/pull; 500k; compatible example (500k Push-Pull DPDT) - Bridge Volume 500k push/pull series/parallel: Bridge Volume 500k push/pull; 500k; compatible example (500k Push-Pull DPDT) - Output Jack: Output Jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#11) - Bridge ground: Bridge ground wire; generic (Bridge ground wire) ## Specific to this wiring - Each volume push/pull uses the Seymour Duncan series/parallel DPDT pattern: white and red go to the middle row, green/bare and black to the row nearest the pot, with a jumper from the left middle lug to the right top lug. - Down is series; pulled is parallel for that pickup. - Blade tags are unlabelled in the source; mapped by function to the catalog CRL 3-way blade. - Solder = location for ground (earth) connections. ## Connections 1.
