"Hi Doug. I don't know of any get togethers and I doubt if one would be successful  because there are too few builders and they are spread too far apart. Given the cost of gas I doubt if you could get enough builders together to make it…"

wiring a split coil mini humbucker

First off let me apologize if this info is already out there, but I couldn't find it. I have a 5 wire mini humbucker I want to coil split. The green and red wires are soldered together, and the black and unshielded ground wire are soldered together. The white wire is by itself. How do I wire this to a SPDT mini toggle switch to achieve a split coil? Thanks in advance for any help.See More
