EB MM Morse Rewiring Plan

[John Czajkowski]

Those of you using a four-pickup EB MM Morse may find this interesting. I am about to rewire my main axe with a scheme more suited for the routines I have gotten into with my music with Hectic Watermelon. The guys at DiMarzio are designing a schematic for me where the main selector switch will be a 3-way Les Paul type switch (bridge humbucker/both/neck humbucker). The switch near the tone knob will be the similar 3-way for the single coils (bridge single coil/both/neck single coil). The remaining switch near the Les Paul type humbucker switch will select between the humbucker setting, the single coils setting or both. This way I can have the guitar with both single coils on and then go straight to a humbucker configuration without hitting two switches. Trying to do all my live foot controller riverdancing while quickly flicking two switches back and forth with complex music is enough to give me a mental repetitive stress injury! Of course, when I get the plan, I will post it on my website in the machines section.

If I am not mistaken you had also mentioned contouring the body of the guitar for your right wrist. I am much more interested to see if you pulled that off because I would like to try it on my SUB1.

very interesting, I´m waiting to see both things.
There are so many possibilities. Sometimes it is a bit annoying when you have to switch two toggles on the SM, that´s right.
Yours is a nice idea, which I´d like to try - But I have modded all my guitars, so it´s time to keep one in the original condition.

But tell us, how it works

That's a cool idea John- interested to hear how it works out. I've re-wired mine a few different ways; in the end I've gone back to the stock wiring (plus piezo and coil split via the tone pot).

I just can't seem to part with my number one long enough to make that happen. If I ever get a number two, it's gonna have to happen.
