Eddie van halen guitar wiring help?
Ok have the body painted and everything, now the electronics. I ditched the three single coils. I have a custom evh pickup ready to go. Now installation, which is the tough part. If I dropped the tone pots (like Eddie) then I theoretically won't need a capacitor right? And also say I put like an extra fender vintage noiseless single coil at the neck that DID work, and wired them to the switch and volume pot, then to the jack...that's how Eddie did it right?
I know it's the wrong category my bad.
ALSO, I know that eddies neck pickup was inactive, I'm trying to attempt to wire both the single coil and the humbucker to a like three way switch. A little different than his original design but will it still work alright?
It's no problem to wire the two pickups to a selector switch and omit the tone pot. Here's a wiring diagram for two humbuckers with 3-way switch and volume only:

For wiring purposes, you can just treat the single coil as a humbucker. There will only be two wires instead of four. The bare (braided) wire goes to ground and the insulated wire to one of the outside poles on the 3-way switch. You're correct about the capacitors...they're only used for the tone pot.
