I have another question. With regards to the output jack. It's a strat style, there are two lugs, ones sort of square and the other is round. How do you tell which one is which? Like the sleeve and the tip?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Off He Goes https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189436 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189424 Sat, 15 Jul 2006 19:55:10 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189424 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189359 Sat, 15 Jul 2006 07:18:10 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Off He Goes https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189359 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189346 Sat, 15 Jul 2006 05:41:23 +0000
I found out the hard way that there are two different color schemes for humbucker pickups - Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan.

This site really helped me sort out a Samick Les Paul with replacement hubuckers and push-pull pots
that had been wired incorrectly (by another electrical engineer).

I assume you double and triple-checked your wiring? Maybe you could post your wiring diagram?

...and as a side note - have you checked the pots with a meter? You might not have to replace them.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-189308 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-19148 Fri, 14 Jul 2006 20:00:27 +0000
It's a humbucker in the bridge, and a Humbucker sized P-90 in the neck. Two volume, and Two Tone Controls.

I've read alot on electronics, but I'm still a bit confused. I can't understand why it didn't work the first time.

Is it nessacary to ground everything to one central location, or can I use the back on two pots?

Has anyone done a similar setup that can helpt me out a bit?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Off He Goes https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/wiring-troubles/#post-19148
