Please help with Hamer chapparal wiring


Recommended Posts

Posted

I recently bought a 86 Hamer chapparal custom which comes not with the classic 5way pickup selector but with a system of 3 separate switches(one for each pickup) that are giving various combinations of pickups and series/parallel wiring. Here's a photo of the guitar so you can see the switches:

Now, i am about to change the pickups and install EMG 85/SA/SA. I have the schematic of the original wiring of the guitar with the 3 switches but i do not need all those combinations with the emgs(and i do not think it is possible).....i just want to be able to activate each emg pickup on/of with the relative switch. Here is the schematic of the original wiring of the guitar:

I know this is a bit more complex than the classic wiring diagramm so if any of the more experienced users know how to wire the emgs on those three switches.............
