Hello,

I'd like to wire a strat with some dimarzios, but I'm not seeing the setup I want in the support section of their site with wiring diagrams.

Dimarzio Virtual PAF (bridge)
Dimarzio Cruiser (middle and neck)

2 Tone, one on neck, one on bridge  (using 0.022 caps I already have)
1 Volume (master volume for all pickups)
Was going to use 500k pots

I'd like standard 5 way strat switching ( bridge, bridge/middle, middle, middle/neck, neck)

If I'm not mistaken these are all humbuckers technically and 4 conductors.

Is this possible? What would the wiring diagram be?

You can start with a standard stratocaster diagram and

1) substitute the single coils with humbuckers in standard wiring for series mode, and
2) move the middle tone control to the bridge pickup.

If you google no. 2) you get loads of hits.

Thank you for your reply, I think the issue is I was still confused on some wiring basics. I read more about it on the internet, it makes sense now.
