Off He Goes Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I wired up my pickups, pots, switch and jack. Now I want to wire to put the pickguard and electronics back in the guitar. I don't think it works though. I read somewhere that if it was wired correctly I could tap on the coils and the pickups would make a "thump". That never happened. At the same time, it didn't make any bad sounds, it just didn't make sound at all. I know all the individual pieces work so its not anything broken. Besides looking at the schematic again, is there anything I can do to check the wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think if you tap on the coils and its making noise that means you have microphonic pickups! Now tapping on pickups with something that's got iron in it will make a sort of clicking noise when the pickup is connected to an amp. The best way to see is to put the pickups in the guitar, string it, then play even if you've got the wiring completely wrong its not going to harm the pickups and if worst comes to worst you'll just have to take it out and re-do it!
