plippert Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi all, Im quite new in tthe guitarbuilding-business. But I like it! My next hurdle is how to wire the pickup, volume/tone and jack-input, and I am hoping for a litte help from one of you guys... I have one Fender-Lace Sensor, three wires (white, green, orange), a tone-pot, volume-pot and the jack input. The volume-control is a bit more advanced than the tone-pot. I WOULD BE THANKFUL if anybody could help me finish the diagram below... Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your drawing wrong? 25K values for tone and volume controls is extremely too low. Did you mean 250K? Oh, and if we are looking at the bottom of the pots, the ground on the volume control should be on the left lug and not the right.

plippert Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 oops. yes volume 25K is a typo. should have been 250K. The switch in the volume doesnt have to do anything. Thats the pot i have... . I assume that it cant do much with only one pickup. The volume and and tone is from an old epiphone-guitar and is connected to each other the way i've drawn, or at least i think. you could be right on the ground-issue. How would i wire the things correct? And, yes, i am a newbie with a big, fat N... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattharris75 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Here's a link to Stew Mac's information on the subject. They have a wiring kit for use on a LP Junior, which uses a single P90 pickup and a volume and tone control. This is how they show to wire it: Stew Mac's Wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orange wire goes to the right lug on the volume control - the ground IS the left one unless you want the volume control to work in reverse. Both the white and green wires are grounded. Center terminal of the volume control connects to the tip (+?) connection of the output jack. Redo your diagram like this and we'll check it.

plippert Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks guys. I'll make a diagram tomorrow and post it. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kappasitanz Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 if you got no use for that push pull you can do a killswitch ... better than nothing XD, or a solo switch (bypass volume and tone and have louder and brighter sound) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kappasitanz Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 all you need to do is conect the cable from your pickup in the lower lug in the switch and the cable from the jack to the middle lug then the cable from the middle lug in the volume pot to the top lug (use either side of the lugs) i think thats correct im not 100% positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
