It's pretty much plumbing, really.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-a-bypass-switch/#post-258015 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-a-bypass-switch/#post-257992 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:51:26 +0000
It just seemed too simple ... maybe I'm finally at the point where I can look at a switch and "see" how it works. Well, a simple on-on switch anyway. ;)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-a-bypass-switch/#post-257992 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-a-bypass-switch/#post-257989 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:33:18 +0000
And as long as you have a good clean solid contact to the shielding, that should take care of the grounding, like you thought.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-a-bypass-switch/#post-257989 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-a-bypass-switch/#post-27284 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:28:24 +0000
Just wondering if this diagram is correct (click below to see it slightly larger) and whether or not the switch needs to be grounded (it will be touching the shielding foil under the pickguard, so I'd think that would take care of it but better to ask ...)
