Dear all,
as much as I like my latest Cutlass HSS, I miss the classic in-between sound on this guitar when the switch is in position 2 (bridge and middle pickup in parallel). Compared to the situation on a Silhouette, where position 2 splits the bridge humbucker and only the coil near the bridge is active along with the middle single coil, the Cutlass activates the entire bridge humbucker with both coils in series (like the Luke guitars with HSS configuration).
Regarding my considerations to make a modification here and split the humbucker, the HSS Cutlass Guitar Wiring Diagram 05/11/2017 Rev 2.0 shows only a 2-wire cable at the bridge humbucker, so the humbucker would not be splitable at all. Is this correct?
