Wiring Wizard
Pick a pickup layout to see a signal-flow wiring diagram, switch-position table, and control layout for that configuration.
2 Humbuckers, 3-Way Toggle (Les Paul-style)
Click any wire or connection in the diagram to see what it does and why.
Wire colors aren't shown here — they're specific to each pickup manufacturer's own code (Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, Fender etc. all use different colors for the same "hot"/"ground"/"coil tap" roles), so a generic diagram showing one brand's colors would often be wrong for your actual pickups. Check your pickups' own documentation, or see Seymour Duncan's wiring diagram library (seymourduncan.com/resources/pickup/wiring-diagrams) and DiMarzio's equivalent for brand-specific color-coded diagrams.
Controls: 2 Volume + 2 Tone (independent per pickup)
| Position | Active pickups |
|---|---|
| Up | Neck only |
| Middle | Neck + Bridge together |
| Down | Bridge only |
Standard/common wiring for this configuration — plenty of real guitars use variants (different tone-control routing, added series/parallel switching, treble-bleed mods). Verify against your specific pickups’ colour code before soldering.
