I want to replace the existing humbuckers with two new humbuckers. The issue? They are single conductor type: only 1 (braided) wire..so no split possible which I am OK with.
From what I understand I have to solder the inner wire to the 5-way switch and ground the braided side to the volume pot.
My questions/concerns:
In the existing set-up and in addition to the "hot" wire there are white+red wires from each humbucker connected to 5-way switch. From those connections of the switch wires are running to the ton pot (which I intend to leave this wire). Since there will be no (red+white) wire connected to the ton pot, will I be able to adjust the ton of those new humbuckers?
I understand that coil split will not be possible with the new set-up. Nevertheless, will I be able to combine the bridge (full humbucker) +middle and middle+neck (full humbucker)?
How to wire: 2 Single conductor Humbuckers, 1 single coil, 1 volume, 1 tone, 5 way switch?
