I'm having an odd issue with a semi-hollow body setup, and was wondering if anyone could offer any advice. After wiring the harness and fishing the components through the 'F' hole (that was a whole bunch of fun!) all I got was a loud 'NNNEEHHHH!" sound. Crap. So I've taken to (after pulling the components) wiring the harness externally and am STILL running into some issues. Wondering if I may have fried a pot or the switch... Here goes Setup: 2ea Wilkinson humbuckers 2ea A-500K Volume Pots 2ea B-500K Tone Pots 1ea 3-way toggle switch 1ea Output jack After fussing with a variety of wiring plans (No joy, man. Fail.), I decided to test the components to see if I could find a point-of-failure. All tries include proper grounding- excuse me if I omit that in any of the following. 1) Pickup: ground to ground, hot to output--- works 2) Pickup- Hot to Switch (Neck or Bridge position, tested separately), Switch common to output---works 3) Pickup- Hot to Vol Pot lug (grounded), other lug to output jack---works 4) Either\Or- -Pickup - Switch - Volume - Output -Pickup - Volume - Switch - Output -do NOT work. NO signal out. I've done these tests on each pickup individually. Once or twice, some variation of the above with both pickups. I've tested the switch for continuity- all good. Put an ohmmeter on the pots- gets expected reading. I'm about to order new pots, switch and jack just to be sure. But since all components test OK, but just don't work together, I'm a bit stumped. Any ideas? Also- I've considered just going with a 2- Volume setup (no tone)- but can NOT find any diagrams for such. Seems that it would be simple, but since I can't get my setup to work with a traditional wiring scheme I don't want to fuss too much with that idea. Thanks all!
