jay66 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Hi I need to find a wiring diagram I can read. Im dumb about wiring . I have 2 Duncan humbuckers one is a 4 wire and the other is a single wire.I want to coil tap the 4 wire pickup with a push pull tone switch.and run the single wire pickup as a standerd humbucker. 2- volumes 2- tones ( 1 is push pull switch ) 1- Duncan 59 1- Duncan distortion 1- 3 way lp style switch I can't seem to find a (simple) diagram that covers this configuration. Can anyone help point me to a simple wiring diagram. Thanks Jay Edited December 9, 2005 by jay66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1guitarslinger Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I'm guessing that you're using a pickup selector switch though it was not mentioned? http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem...3way-w-spl.html this is from: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter which side of the 6 lugs I solder the white and red wires to on the push pull switch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1guitarslinger Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 No. Just be sure the connections are all on the same side, with the red and white soldered together on the center leg of one side of the switch, and ground soldered to an outside leg on the same side of the switch. Follow the diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay66 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I hooked this all up and now I have very little volume on the neck pickup in both the neck position and middle position of the switch. Could the pickups be out of phase? Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check all of your wiring, and if you have an ohm meter (multimeter) check the resistance of your neck pickup and make sure it's ok.

jay66 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I checked all my wiring 10 times,tested the resistance of the pickup,everything checked out. It really had me pulling my hair out. Turns out it was a bad volume pot. I guess I should have tested them all first but they were all brand new. I'll know better next time. Thanks alot for all the help. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
