Maris Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Going to be wiring two humbuckers soon, Can anyone explain what -if any- difference these two wiring diagrams would make. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/DrN...ckupdiagram.jpg These aren't my drawings there from seymour duncans website,although i modified no.2 which is from guitar electronics site. So all credit to them. sorry about the external link but i wasn't sure how to add a picture . Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm not sure what the one in the left side is supposed to do. I'd go with the one on the right since it actually shows the cap connecting the volume and tone controls together. That's just a standard tone control configuration there.

rockthe40 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 its doing the same thing. i dont like to stretch the cap out like that (just sorta gets in the way ya know) so i place it on the tone pot---which is what the one on the left it doing... id go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 The way #2 is wired, the cap is grounded at both ends - the ground should hook up to the pot case, not the lug. Fix that, and you've got identical circuits for all intents and purposes. Since the cap and the pot are in series, it doesn't matter which order they are in - I usually prefer the first method (easier for me to wire reliably - no idea why ), but almost everybody else uses the second, so do whichever is easiest for you.
