# Two humbuckers, three-way toggle, one volume and two push/pull coil-split tones Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/two-humbuckers-three-way-toggle-one-volume-two-push-pull-split-tones Two humbuckers · Three-way toggle · One volume · Two push/pull tones (each splits its own pickup) Neck and bridge Seymour Duncan humbuckers, each with its own 500k push/pull tone and .047 µF capacitor ahead of a three-way toggle, then one 500k master volume. Each tone's push/pull grounds its own pickup's red–white coil link, so pulling a tone knob splits that humbucker.

Neck push/pull lug nearest the pot → Neck tone casing (case, black) 2. Neck green → Neck tone casing (case, green) 3. Neck bare shield → Neck tone casing (shield, bare): Drawn grey beside the green. 4. Neck .047 cap → Neck tone casing (case) 5. Bridge push/pull lug nearest the pot → Bridge tone casing (case, black) 6. Bridge green → Bridge tone casing (case, green) 7. Bridge bare shield → Bridge tone casing (shield, bare): Drawn grey beside the green. 8. Bridge .047 cap → Bridge tone casing (case) 9. Volume right lug → Volume casing (case): Lug bent onto the casing. 10. Toggle frame lug → Neck tone casing (case, black) 11. Neck tone casing → Bridge tone casing (case, black) 12. Bridge tone casing → Volume casing (case, black) 13. Bridge ground wire → Bridge tone casing (shield, black) 14. Bridge tone casing → Jack sleeve (wire, black) 15. Neck tone top lug → Toggle neck lug (wire, black) 16. Bridge tone top lug → Toggle bridge lug (wire, black) 17. Toggle middle lug → Volume left lug (input) (wire, black) 18. Neck red → Neck push/pull middle lug (wire, red) 19. Neck white → Neck push/pull middle lug (wire, white): Soldered together with the red on the same lug. 20. Neck black → Neck tone top lug (wire, black) 21. Bridge red → Bridge push/pull middle lug (wire, red) 22. Bridge white → Bridge push/pull middle lug (wire, white): Soldered together with the red on the same lug. 23. Bridge black → Bridge tone top lug (wire, black) 24. Neck tone middle lug → Neck .047 cap (wire) 25. Bridge tone middle lug → Bridge .047 cap (wire) 26. Volume middle lug → Jack tip (wire, black) ## What each position does - Neck, neck tone down, bridge tone down: neck full: Neck Pickup (both coils). - Neck, neck tone down, bridge tone up: neck full: Neck Pickup (both coils). - Neck, neck tone up, bridge tone down: neck split: Neck Pickup (split to one coil). - Neck, neck tone up, bridge tone up: neck split: Neck Pickup (split to one coil). - Both, neck tone down, bridge tone down: neck full + bridge full: Neck Pickup (both coils) and Bridge Pickup (both coils) in parallel. - Both, neck tone down, bridge tone up: neck full + bridge split: Neck Pickup (both coils) and Bridge Pickup (split to one coil) in parallel. - Both, neck tone up, bridge tone down: neck split + bridge full: Neck Pickup (split to one coil) and Bridge Pickup (both coils) in parallel. - Both, neck tone up, bridge tone up: neck split + bridge split: Neck Pickup (split to one coil) and Bridge Pickup (split to one coil) in parallel. - Bridge, neck tone down, bridge tone down: bridge full: Bridge Pickup (both coils). - Bridge, neck tone down, bridge tone up: bridge split: Bridge Pickup (split to one coil). - Bridge, neck tone up, bridge tone down: bridge full: Bridge Pickup (both coils). - Bridge, neck tone up, bridge tone up: bridge split: Bridge Pickup (split to one coil). - Hum cancelling and phase describe the generic pickup models, not a measurement of any specific Seymour Duncan model. - Pickup resistance is not specified, so no numeric meter readings are given. - The source does not say which knob position splits; this follows the usual push/pull behaviour (pulled joins the middle lug to the lug nearest the pot). - The simulator's position summary names one tone control only; each tone sits on its own pickup's lead ahead of the toggle, so in the middle position both tones act on the combined signal. ## Check before plugging in - Both knobs down: in each toggle position the meter across the jack reads the selected humbucker, or both in parallel in the middle. - Pulling a tone knob drops the reading for its own pickup to roughly one coil's resistance. - With the volume at zero, tip and sleeve should read as a short in every position. ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the Seymour Duncan diagram 2H\_3G\_1V\_2TppSPL.rev2\_-1, revision 1.
