AlGeeEater Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Are you sure its a 2-way switch? It look's like a 3 way switch. Is there only 1 wire comming from the pickups? What pickups are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorgBlaubaer Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) yeah im sure its 2 way. 2 inputs and one output.. the pickups are an shadow humbucker in single coil format and an ESP lh-206.. they both have two wires.. or at least they have one wire which is wound by a wire for grounding. but i didn't ground the guitar so i don't use them Edited November 30, 2004 by ZorgBlaubaer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 You can get away with not "ground shielding" your guitar but you still need to have both pups grounded to the jack to complete the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
