markd Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 hi. new guy here. i am trying, in vain, i might add, to rewire a guitar i have. i want to install a bridge humbucker and neck single coil. they will be wired to a 3 way blade switch and a volume and tone pot. i have experience rewiring guitars, but this one is killing me. i have been follwing a telecaster diagram because it is all i can find online that is similar to what i want to do. it is NOT working. there is this AWFUL hum/buzz/static/squealing noise no matter what i do. i am getting very frustrated. can anybody help me? i could really use a diagram. i am using dimarzio pickups, a super 3 in the bridge and a YJM in the neck. any help will be greatly appreciated!!! thanks, mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Three suggestions: A. Try switching the wires on the jack? B. Make sure the bridge is grounded? C. Wait for someone who knows what they're talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodBlessTexas Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 1: is everything grounded, including the bridge? 2: What pickups are you using and did you follow the right color codes for that manufacturer? 3: Can you post a link to the diagram you're using? Is it this one? 4: Can you post pics of your wiring? GBT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badsnap Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 GBT is right...we can help a bit more if we can see what is going on and what you are trying to do. One suggestion is connect one of the PU's straight to the output jack and see what happens. Do this for each PU and you will quickly know whether it is one of the PUs, the grounding (bridge or otherwise) or the switch. If both PU's sound good straight to the output jack, your problem is in the switch wiring. Squealing doesn't sound like a grounding problem but the noise sure does. Do you get any sound when you pluck the strings???...Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
