Fraser Welsh Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yesterday I finally got round to wiring up my project, following scematics for standard strat configuration I got off line. However, when I come to test it, it didn't work. I've checked and rechecked the way in which it's wired and I'm almost certain it's right. All the components were brand new and the pickups were from a Squire Strat. Theoretically they should work, however, they simply don't ... If anybody can give me any suggestions as to where I've gone wrong I'd really appreciate it. The scematics I used were from here and here. Here's a couple of pictures though I don't know how much use they'll be. If more specific pictures/information isd needed, just let me know... Cheers...

frank falbo Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Right away it seems you have hot and ground backwards on your output jack. Other than that I'll see if I can see anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8rofwyo Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I think frank is right. I've made the same mistake, I was so caught up in the wiring from switch to tone controls that I just wired the jack bass ackwards. Swap em, bet ya get lots of sound.

marksound Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I thought I was the only one who ever did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Welsh Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Yeah, that sorted it. I was fairly sure it would be something simple like that. Anyway, cheers guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
