screwdelulu Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I wired my guitar according to the following diagram using 3 500Kohm for tone and 2 volume pots. The guitar sounds great , but: 1. There is virtually no tone control. turning the tone pot doesn't affect the sound, and when it is fully closed, the sound is very weak (esspecially the trebles). 2. The 2 pickups eliminates certain frequancies, rather than mix together. The two phenomena are both in humbucker and single-single coil configurations. Any help would be appreciated...

lovekraft Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 There's nothing wrong with the setup shown in the diagram - you didn't accidentally wire the pickups out of phase, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain how could i have done that? the pickups are both in the same direction (I have gibson SG and the pickups are inverted to each other). From what i have read the "out of phase' thing sounds quite right. it sounds like the PUs eliminates each other. P.s. The pickups i'm using have 3 wires (NOT 4). black, white, and red. I soldered the red wire to the switch... Thnx, Itai Edited January 17, 2005 by screwdelulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
