Dial-A-Tap

This is a very cool way to set up a Strat for Humb-Single-Single operation. The first tone control is a master tone which controls all pickups. The lower pot is a Dial-A-Tap which means you can dial in just the right amount of the split humbucker. It will short out the "screw coil" and leave in the "slug coil" (the slug coil is the one furthest from the bridge)

Jimmie Vaughn Strat w/Coil Tap

Coil tap is engaged by a push-pull on the first tone control. The first tone control affects positions 4 and 5 of the selector switch only (neck and neck/mid) and the second tone control affects positions 1 and 2 only (bridge and bridge/mid). The only position without a tone control is position 3.

Lonestar "Auto-Tap"

 

This wiring features "auto-tapping" of the humbucker as soon as the 5 way switch hits position 2.

  • Switch Position 1: Bridge Pickup (Both Coils)
  • Switch Position 2: Bridge + Middle Pickups (Bridge Pickup Tapped)
  • Switch Position 3: Middle Pickup
  • Switch Position 4: Neck + Middle Pickups
  • Switch Position 5: Neck Pickup

A Super Switch (5 way, 4 pole) is used so you can have two tone controls and still tap the humbucker automatically when you switch to the 2 position. The tone controls use different capacitors rather than sharing one. The top tone control (for the two single coils) uses a .047uf capacitor, while the bottom tone control (for the humbucker) uses a .022uf cap (.022uf is the de facto standard for a humbucker)
