    4 Way swith/Duncans

    Anyone have a schematic for wiring a 4 way switch? I'm trying to wire a Duncan Fat Cat and Quarter Pound as follows:
    1. Bridge
    2. Neck
    3. Series
    4. Parallel

    I thought Duncan's site had a ton of wiring diagrams...I just looked and there isn't any one that specifically meets your needs. Sounds like you're going to need some kind of DPST phase switching in there, too.

    Regardless, I have the Phat Cat in a new Tele I pieced together, and it's an AMAZING pickup.

    shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."

    I've done exactly that configuration with a 4-way switch, and somewhere around here I have a diagram for how to wire it. I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

    Edit: I couldn't find the diagram I used (it might be on my old hard disk...), but I found this one out on the webz:

    I hope that's helpful.

    I found that same thing PC. Thanks. The weird thing with the Phat Cat is the ground is the outside shield of the wire. So I have to sever the jumper wire to the cover, add a third wire and solder the outside of the wire as well.
