angussg Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Ill get right to the point: What i need is a complete guide or info on how to wire my entire guitar. What I have is two humbuckers each with two different wires coming from it, two pots, and a switch. I am just looking for the simplest wiring solution possible and i do NOT have diagrams for the pickups as they are cheap ones off of ebay. Any help is appreciated Edited March 8, 2009 by angussg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psw Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 This might get you into the ball park. Your switch may be different as you give no details, this is for a three way telecaster. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angussg Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Does it matter which wire goes where? Also the switch is four way - sorry for the lack of detail. also when wiring the pots should the black line from the neck pickup be wired anywhere on the base of the pot? lastly is the red wire on the switch all one continuous wire or is it several diiferent ones? -Thanks Edited March 9, 2009 by angussg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psw Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You may need to search around for sites that give some more basic details about wiring and soldering basics. If you are new to soldering...do some practice. For pots, sand an area to get some bare metal to solder to. Basically the ground to the back of the pot is there to connect any and all ground wires too. On a two wire pickup...the shielded part is ground...but if just normal wires, one will be ground the other hot...as long as you are consistent between pickups it doesn't matter much which is which. A four way switch is very unusual...generally things are three way on such a scheme...N, N+B and B pickup selections. All switches are different and really without more details and possibly pics of what you wnat to do and the types of components you seek to use...there is little I can advise on at this stage. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
