H-S-H configuration

Hey there
any1 ere know any good H-S-H configuration?
or if not,does anybody know how to get rid of a
single coil and cover up the hole (not using celophane)

Do you mean pickup models ? What style do you play ?
Check out Duncan, Dimarzio and EMG ... These are the most famous makers.

What's your problem with the middle single coil ? Do you want to disconnect it , or is it annoying for your playability ?

You can disconnect it and screw it to the guitar body so that it won't bother you , Malmsteen have his guitars this way.

well my style is usually using an emg
i want to use both emg 81's dual humbucker
only prob is my single coil is in the way.
and yes,i want to disconnect it.
Do you know any way to cover it up?
Or if not,do you know any other configurations
h-s-h that fits my style of progressive rock/metal?
i play satriani,steve vai,dream theater,symphony x

ah yes another thing,when i mean disconnect,i mean
taking it out permanently and covering up the hole
left behind.I use an Ibanez rg 770

I have h-s-h too , and that's how Steve Vai's guitars are set up , he oftenly uses the middle S ... It's usefull sometimes , I can get a surf rock like tone using combination of bridge H and the middle S.

Why do you want to cover the hole ? Is it for the "look" reason ?! I don't think it's so important.
You can get some plastic piece and cut it to fit in , paint it to yor guitar's color , and use an adhesive ... BTW, some adhesives may damage your guitar finish , better be sure of what you're using.

I think that your reason to disconnect it is cuz you never use it alone or by any combination with other H's , so that you can hav a 3-way toggle switch instead of 5-way , which will make you able to do the "flick toggle switch" trick, if you have 2 separate volume knobs.

If that's the reason , just buy a 3-way switch and do the job ... If you're not familiar with elec stuff , get a tech to do it for you... You won't cause any permanent harm if you tried anyway (unless you burn yourself with the soldering iron ;) ).

well to tell you the truth
its something about the looks :P
and also,yeah 2 reasons:
:i dont use it often
:i do not know any good h-s-h configuration
i was thinking of setting up dimarzio tone zone
and breed in the neck.
but i was lost and confused about any good single coils.
yeah,i use a five-way toggler
i might change it to a three.
hmm well i guess it wont matter then
maybe i shouldnt care bout the looks.
i just celophane it should do
still,do you know any good single coils?
that fits with tone zone and breed configuration.

I think you should care less for the look, nothing's wrong with having a middle S disconnected.

I'm not quite familiar with Single Coil models , but I know that EMG's are cool , also Fender, Duncan & Dimarzio HS-3 (or something like that) which are Malmsteen's signature p/u's ... Anyway , I suggest you just disconnect the S , get the H's you need and replace the 5-way with a 3-way switch , since you seem to care more about the H's and just would like a S that could go with them , right ?

To cover such holes without noticing that there ever was one i suggest you go to a luthier. He´ll remove the whole finish, fit a woodpiece in and puts on a new finish to the guitar - of course the guitar has to be worth it.

hmm thx for the idea azrael!
and sly,yeah maybe your right
i dont think i will need a single coil to go with dual emg's 81

I like the H-S-H setup on my Ibanez RG270. It has bright, high-output hum at the bridge, a biting, twangy single coil in the middle, and a beefy, warm, smooth neck humbucker.
