Dear luthiers,

I am having trouble understanding a wiring diagram due to conflicting information I am getting from ChatGPT. all the info is in the zip file. I am going to use new humbuckers 58/15 LT TCI (2025) from PRS (no information inside the box), a Schaller 5-position megaswitch, and a volume/tone pot. In the PDF 'prs wire diagram info pickups' I tried to create the circuit. Can someone tell me if this is right or wrong?

@somethingnicer or anyone else maybe you can help me. a lot of information in the zip file.

Thanks in advance, Benjamin

Ps. ask me if you need more info.

Hey Benjamin,

I've not used that switch before and from the downloads I couldn't write see where you'd tried to work out the diagram. Probably me not looking properly. 

Personally, I wouldn't trust AI to give you the right answer on this kind of thing. I've tried a few times and while it gets you in the right area, I generally find it makes something up along the way.

Below is a diagram I used, along with a 5 way super switch, to give me the same outcome.

Not sure if this helps, but you might be able to find a diagram that transposes your switch to the super switch?

Good luck!

@liebe thx for the reply. The thing with AI. is that it swiches the wires and the connections all the time so i started to doubt. I think @somethingnicer would now the answer  he makes pickups. Prs turns his pickups NS/NS or SN/SN and I don't know if I made the hot and cold wire correctly at connection 3/7 and 1/5

Hey there, I've not used a super switch like that, but if you wire it backwards it should be super obvious. In a single coil the pickups would be counter wound and counter polarity for hum bucking purposes. A backwards wiring (which would make it counter pole but not counter wound) would sound very thin. Humbuckers may act differently depending on how they're hooked up (2 wire, 4 wire, splitting coils, etc). I don't see where you attached what you've tried so far, maybe that'll help
