Biohazard Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi, I have been looking over the net for basic guitar wiring diagrams but they all seem to be specific to either brand of guitars, e.g. gibson, ibanez etc, or to guitara using seymour pickups etc. I am going to do the electronics for my guitar myself, I am going to be using Kent Armstrong Motherbucker and Rio Grande Punchbox, where can I get a wiring diagram for two humbuckers, 1 volume pot and 1 tone pot, and 3-way switch, then I can modify it fir the 8 wires of the motherbucker? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theQuestioneer Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 get the standard 2-pickup, one V one T from guitarelectronics. then get the motherbucker diagram from kent armstrong ("schematics" on their website, second page.) for the pickup that you will be using the motherbucker on, use the motherbucker schematic instead of that pickup. see how it says "to pickup selector" on the kent armstrong diagram? use that instead of the wire in the standard that goes to the pickup selector. treat the grounds the same way. that will give you the options for the motherbucker that they have. i haven't used one, but that sounds like a pretty good way to use it, although it can be wired many many different ways.

Biohazard Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Ok thanks, and what modifications would need to be made to that schematic for using a stereo jack rather than a mono? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Ok thanks, and what modifications would need to be made to that schematic for using a stereo jack rather than a mono? Thanks. Maybe the easiest thing is for you to think of that MB as two hb pickups that accidentally got glued together, and wire them accordingly. Don't know what you could use a stereo jack for, but wire it just like you would for three standard humbuckers. Here's a few: WDUHHH3T2201 WDUHHH3T2202 WDUHHH5L1101 HTH - BTW, stereo outputs are highly overrated (and very seldom useful). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I think i'm going to use the 2 humbuckers, 1 volume and 1 tone knob wiring diagram and modify the bridge humbucker for the motherbucker. I need a stereo jack for the built in fuzz circuit so it disconnects the batter. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
