Five/Series - "McCarty" Wiring Diagram

Wiring diagram for the Five/Series "McCarty" guitar pickup system, featuring 4-conductor wire, a 3-way toggle switch, 1 volume control, and 1 push-pull tone control.

Components and Connections

This diagram illustrates the wiring for a guitar setup using two humbucker pickups, a 3-way toggle switch, and two potentiometers (one push-pull). The system utilizes 4-conductor wire.

Pickup Wiring

Two humbucker pickups are shown. Each pickup has six gold pole pieces arranged in two rows of three. Black wires connect the pickups to the control circuit.

The "Neck Hot" wire originates from the neck pickup.
The "Bridge Hot" wire originates from the bridge pickup.
Ground wires from both pickups are also connected.

Control Circuit Wiring

The control circuit includes:

A 3-way toggle switch, typically used for selecting between neck, bridge, or both pickups. It is labeled with terminals 1, 2, and 3.
A "CTS 500K Push-Pull" potentiometer, likely serving as a volume or tone control with an added switching function via the push-pull mechanism.
Another potentiometer is present, standard for volume/tone control.
A capacitor, labeled "0.022uF", is connected to one of the potentiometers, commonly used for tone shaping.
A resistor, labeled "2.2K", is also part of the circuit.

Output Connections

The circuit is wired to connect to a standard guitar output jack:

A wire labeled "To Output Jack "Sleeve" tab" is connected to the ground terminal of the output jack.
A wire labeled "To Output Jack "Tip"" is connected to the signal terminal of the output jack.
