  1. well i allready done with the wires,. now im facing new challnge, to overcome the tuning of the guitar. i got very bad size of bone nut, so i had to make a new one from those i have got, but its just doesnt sound well. here is the guitar after i finnish her 1991 kc ltd washburn
  2. here the inside mechanic of the switch
  3. as i mentioned,. i checked each wire with voltmeter to see the integrity of each coil. it is show 7.4k ohm between black/white and 7.4k ohm for green/red. so those are the singles coils. when it is connected in series it show 14.5k ohm between the bl;ack and the green. it count both coils now....i assumed that as i noticed the default series connection, then i remembered how series wires are connected, also as you can see at the 3rd image, these are the manufactorer by default. the red and white are solder together the image here show the diagram
  4. ok i figured that out, just now remembered the autotronic i have learned. indeed the black at the HB isnt ground, its the output to the switch.the red/white is bricge and green/silver to ground. i also misure with ohm meter. 7.4k between black and white and the same green and red. so its connected series. and if i want parallel i need to connect red and black to output switch and green white silver to ground. so waht is better? series or parellal?
  5. yes that is correct.the red should move the right up. also the blue can be move instead the red but that isnt necasery butthe black wire should just remove from terminals to a ground position. so now after i figured what was wrong the years i deed play that guitar. i need to solder the new wires then as i understand from you: switch 1 should solder the red/white of the HB switch 2 is bridge the HB and middle ( red/white + yellow ) switch 3 should solder the yellow of the middle pickup switch 4 bridge the middle and neck switch 5 solder the red of the neck pickup all blacks to the ground, but what im doing with the green/white of the HB pickup?
  6. thank you for the fast comment. this is 1991 washburn original wires, now im restoring and reparing it after not playing the guitar for years. the switch is little different from the new that selling today but has the same functions. the above picture showing the wires colors. red black for the neck and blue white for the middle. middle pickup the blue attached to the switch while the white attached to the ground, neck pickup the red and the black both attached to the switch so if i moving the switch to the 4th and 5th position its kind of short bcz the same coil wires meeting at the switch, therefore the 4th scale at the switch which is the middle picjup, cant play as a lonely pickup bcz its not isolated.
  7. and the black should be grounded ofc
  8. hi can anyone tell me if this is wrong wiring bcz i cant see where the neck pickup ground. these are the neck and middle wiring colors here on the switch three colors mounting and just one grounded i think the rednot in positionand it should replaced with the black. what do you think? thank you
