Members won730 Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hi, I have Squier CV Duo Sonic and new set of pickups from Pickup Wizard. I am trying to mimic the vintage Fender Duo Sonic 1956-59 era wiring... Does anybody know in detail about the wiring? Any diagram that I can use? I wonder if the middle position was in series or parallel... Also, is it possible to mod the Duo Sonic with 4-way-switch? so that I can have both parallel and series?

Members WRGKMC Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 I posted the diagram in the other thread. The pickups are in series. You may be able to wire it like a tele with a 4 way switch so you have the two in series or parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members won730 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 Do you know where I can get the 4-way-switch that can fit Duo Sonic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 I use this one for tele's all the time http://www.stewmac.com/Pickups_and_E...er_Switch.html A quick google search turns up lots of other options...... You can also do it with slide switches but you may need to work out the wiring diagram. I don't know of a 4 way toggle switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 . . . I don't know of a 4 way toggle switch. No, it would have to be a rotary switch. IIRC, someone mentioned installing a rotary switch in a Strat a while back but nothing came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members won730 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 The first diagram is the one I got for 3-way with "series" in the middle position, and the second one is Mustang 4-way mod diagram. Will the first one provide me with series? Will the second one work for Duo Sonic also? to have 4-way? What kind of switch do I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first diagram is a standard three position toggle with series center. The second is a way you can do it with two slide switches (but of course you would need to modify your p/g to mount them). However if you read the link that I gave you it not only shows a switch that will work (but you might have to also modify the p/g to mount it) AND the way to wire it for series and parallel positions. I use it in every tele-clone that I build, some people like it, some don't need it but it doesn't cost any extra. RTFM http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Learn_About_Guitar_Pickups_and_Electronics_and_Wiring/Oak_Grigsby_4-way_2-pole_Lever_Switch_Instructions.html Slide switches (or a super switch) give you lots of options - here is a Jagstang with a single coil and a 'bucker - series, parallel and tapped coils. I charged the guy extra to figure out the wiring diagram that he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
