idrum4food Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ok, one last question. I've got two SD humbuckers with a threeway switch, tone and volume pot. The three way switch has a single connetion on one side and on the other side has two pair of connectors which I'm assuming is for front and rear pickups. I ran the wire from the front pickup through one pair of connectors and the rear pickup wire through the other pair of connectors. No good cause I get active pickups no matter what position I throw the switch. Do I need to run the pickup wire through only one of the connectors that are paired together? If so, which one. Inside or outside? I've always sucked at electronics. I feel I'm sooooo close to seeing how this ax is going to sound. HELP again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalefish Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Ok, I'm going to assume that it's an LP style 3-way switch.. The single terminal is for a ground connection.. What you've got to do is to think of the 2 pairs of terminals on the other side as 4 terminals (let's number 'em 1, 2, 3 and 4).. Terminals 1 and 2 are for the neck and bridge pickups.. Terminals 2 and 3 you lump together and connect to the output of your jack.. Hope that helps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
