Dingus420 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 hey im finally fed up with the sound that my jackson js-30 is capable of, so ive decided to take out the 2 stock pups and put a single humbucker that i bought for my current build in the bridge position. Can anyone hook me up with a wiring diagram i need to make this work with 1 vol and 1 tone pot... i guess i leave the 3 way switch out of the wiring? this is the first time ive done any guitar wiring so any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/WDUH01101 This is a general diagram, what kind of pickup are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilikes2shred Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Are you saying that you plan on having the 3 way switch just sit there and do nothing? If you are using a four conductor humbucker (like a seymour duncan), then you may be able to use the 3 way switch to activate a coil-tap or in/out of phase wiring. I'm not sure how you would do this, but I'm sure there are people on here who could help you. Also, I know you didn't mention it, but I'm interested in see how you are planning on covering up the second cavity (now empty?). EDIT: Hey wait, this is in two sections....

Dingus420 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 im using a golden age humbucker i got off of lmii a while ago, i dont intend to leave it the way it is, im gonna put the original ones back in when i want to sell it, i just figured i should see how this pup sounds since i wont be completeing my home made guitar anytime soon and since my guitar sounds like farting into a dijeree-doo. Figured i should get warmed up to this whole wiring thing anyways. On my pickup i see 1 black wire with 1 white and 1 red wire spliced out if it.. is the black wire the N and S finish already taped? if so how do i know which is N and which is S of the white and red?

Dingus420 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 EDIT: Hey wait, this is in two sections.... yea sorry about that, i posted it in the electronics section first but then i realized it would be alot faster to post it here instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus420 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) alright now im confused, when i took the old pickups out there were 4 wires, the red and white were tied together and taped back which would be north/south finish, the black was grounded which would be south start, and then there was a green one (north start) which was the hot one attatched to the 3 way.. the new pickup only has 3 wires, if i were to tape back the red and white ones and use the black as ground, what do i use as the hot wire/north start? cmon i need some response, the soldering irons already hot...
