A TOGGLE SWITCH FOR HUMBUCKER SPLIT INTO SINGLE COILS DIAGRAM PHOTO

Here's an explanation on how to have your bridge humbucker also split into both it's single coils, using a small DPDT 3 way Toggle Switch. Handy if you want the most versatility out of your Strat. Installing the 3 way toggle switch chooses Humbucker Front coil - Full humbucker - Rear coil... and either of those choices can be combined with the mid pickup on the normal Strat selector switch.

Fender Humbuckers Quick Reference Guide for 2 Screw Hole Humbucker Slot Installation.

Fender Humbuckers quick reference guide for 2 screw hole humbucker slot installation. Most Fender humbucker models also have 2 center mounting holes which will install into a regular 2 hole guard slot. Except the '72 Tele Wide Range humbucker, which does not have center mount holes, but is possible, as center holes could be drilled into the mounting lugs. See photo attached for the inside info. We don't need to change our Fender humbuckers for fitting a new guard, if you like them keep them, especially the Shawbucker, which sounds great to my ears in a Strat or Tele.
