Coil Cut switching question

[grock]

I'm planning to buy an electric in july (happy birthday to me) and am thinking i'll probably mod the electronics to split the humbuckers.

my question is about DPDT switches. Does anybody know anything about these and how they work, i've been looking at electronics websites but nothing says how these little switches work. maybe i'll post a pic of what i am doing, when i figure out a good way to draw it.

i'm assuming that because DPDT means double post double throw, i can use them as completely seperate circuits with one switch for both.

so here is a pic of what i am doing. I read somewhere about grounding through a capacitor to get better tone so i thought i'd include the option.

any thoughts or are we all pretty clueless about electric stuff on this board. Maybe i should wait and go over it with a Electical Engineering buddy back at school.

just make sure you get a flux capacitor, I hear theyre the best.

sorry had to, I got nothing on this stuff

i know, i haven't even bought the guitar yet. but i'm a tweaker. some people are content to just use stuff, but i want to figure out how it works and modify it to make it better. and in electric guitar, tone can be tweaked till the cows come home.

acoustic is kinda "you get what you get" with very natural and simple sound production but in this area of electricity, i'm excited to start having fun doing stuff like this. maybe does anybody know of some good sites about guitar electronics and stuff?

PS Back To The Future is my favorite movie of all time, so you're alright with me. 8)

I think your right on target, just make sure it all goes into the same outlet/inser tthingy . To me it sounds like you're making it so like a Les Paul kinda thing, where you have the toggle that changes how everything is fed. Like if you change the toggle the parallel wires are fed, if you flip it, then the perpendicular wires get fed. THe wires below the pickup and parralle and perpendicular to the strings.

Sounds like a cool project, tell me how it goes
