Hi there - just wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram for the 25th? I am really intrigued by the series/parallel switch.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks phatduckk, but I was looking for the wiring diagram - so I could wire up my Axis in a similar way, with the parallel/series switch - I can only see the switching diagram?

That's all the website offers, they don't have actual wiring schematics on their website

Email CS, they'll shoot you out a schematic. (Hit me up if you're in a hurry.)
In general, it's a great wiring scheme. But if you're used to the ASS wiring, it's an extra step to get to the parallel positions.
On the 25th, the toggle puts every combination on the 5-way in either a series or a parallel combination of coils. So, say, if you're in series on your bridge (standard humbucking) and want to go to one coil from each HB in parallel, you'd need to flip the toggle to parallel and also move the 5-way switch. Whereas on the ASS, you just move the 5-way.
That said, I love the toggle for using on either HB on it's own. Generally find I play the bridge HB in parallel, but flip it to series for some extra meat, then back, etc. So I quite like it.
For the regular Axis, it'd be super handy as well, but you'd need to route a hole for the toggle as it takes more lugs than you have with a push-pull pot.

Hi Beej - thanks a lot! I've emailed customer service, but haven't gotten a reply yet, so I you would mail me the schematic, I'd be very grateful. 
I don't mind modding my axis - it already has a middle single coil.

Did you get a schematic? I have three Axis Super Sports, and don't use the tone knob much. I'm considering modding one to put the series/parallel switch in place of the tone knob to get the Reflex/25th switching.
