Curtis P Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 If i use 2 Humbuckers does it have to have a volume/tone and pickup selecter switch?? or can i just run the ground wirre to the bridge, then the other ones to the jack??

jbkim Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 You mean straight out? Yes, you can do this but it'd affect the sound. The pots are an integral part of the sound of a guitar. The sound will be VERY bright without any pots. I have one of my guitars wired this way while I'm waiting for some new pots... it's almost too bright but sort of cool sounding in a way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 i wire one volume no tone...slightly hotter soundthat way. you want a switch or both pickups will always be on. you could wire each pickup to a seperate volume knob,then you could onlyturn on what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Yes, I was planning on having both on at same time, but is there a way to have the one wired so its quieter? for example, i like playing my Washburn with the bridge pickup, but i would like it so its the bridge pickup full blast all the time, and the neck pickup maybe half? all the time though, and no knob, this possible?

westhemann Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 i think you would be better off with seperate volume knobs...then you could blend how you want it.how are you going to stop all the noise when you take your hands off the guitar without a volume knob?

Curtis P Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Ok Thanks Westheman, here is a picture of what it will look like when its all done: Picture Hopefully it works (the picture, I know the guitar will work, haha) Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis P Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Thanks man, i got the pattern all traced onto the wood, and a buddy of mine is hookin me up with some Humbuckers, is wiring difficult? i aint runnin the toggle switch, pickup selector thing, so its just the single volume, connected to both humbuckers, i suppose, or 2 voloumes, one for each, yea, thats better! haha Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis P Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 i was just there, nothing really what i was looking for, would a volume knob act like a tone knob? schematic wise? like the wiring be the same? probaly not right?
