Sobot Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) Alright, newbie here. This might seem to be an easy question for a lot of you... but I'm a bit lost... actually, let's say I was thrown into the middle of the pacific ocean with no compass. I need to wire a Seymour Duncan SH4 JB model Humbucker, 1 tone pot, 1 volume pot, and an output jack. Ive been searching the internet for diagrams, but everything I find has more than one pickup, and the switches just scare the crap out of me, just too many wires! I'm aware than I'm going to need to have a ground wire soldered to the bridge... and I don't know how I will do that because I'm using a Hardtail bridge... but that's for later. I just need to know what wiring and what directions I need to go. I'm pretty sure I need 500K-ohm pots, a mono jack, maybe a capacitor??? Nights of Columbus... Help Me! Thanks. P.S. Will this Melvyn Hiscock book help me with this? I tried to get it today, but the store was out of stock Edited June 6, 2005 by Sobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobot Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 one problem, it says there I need one 500 K pot and one 250K pot. I'm putting the knobs directly through the wood and I can't get a 250K that is long enough.... will a 500K still work, would I have to change the cap from .022 to .050 or somthing?

Sobot Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Oh, and there are a few ground wires in that picture, when grounding them, can you connect all those ground wires together than solder them to the bridge??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobot Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) Wow... so many questions... but that's what a forum is for... I also need to know what I should ground to. Is there any possible way of NOT having to ground to the bridge? I don't know how I will ground to it if I have to. I'm getting this bridge: http://www.stewmac.com/catalog/images_1lg/0179_1lg.jpg Sorry again about the questions...

lovekraft Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 You can use a 500K pot for the tone pot - if it's too shrill with the tone rolled down, try replacing the cap with a .01 uF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
