sjaguar13 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I was looking at a double neck body on eBay, but was wondering about the electronics. Are all 4 pickups wired together? It seems the easiest way would be to wire the 4 pickups together and just use the pots for both guitars. That seems like a stupid way, playing wise. Does each guitar have it's one volume and tone pots? Is there two seperate jacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I would have to assume its just considered 2 separate guitars with a master switch bewteen the two. Everything routed to one output jack. As far as volume and tone pots, they are switched over separately between each "guitar". I found a pic that will give you an idea of the basic layout. http://www.ntw.net/~w0ui/family_webpage/pi...275_setup1a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Doublenecks usually have two distinct sets of pickups, volume and tone controls, and their output is summed at the jack, with a three-way toggle to select either neck or both.

JohnJohn Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 It's sorta like two pick-ups.Like darren said there is a switch to choose which neck.And each neck has it's own selector switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted April 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 So each neck has it's own set of electronics and a switch chooses between what guitar or both? So that would mean there is only one jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yeah, that's it - like the Gibby 1275-whatever has a 3-way toggle on the 6-string neck, a 3-way toggle on the 12, and a 3-way toggle to select necks. You set each neck for the sound you want, then use the third switch to select which neck you're playing, or turn both on for some crazy resonance interaction a la Page.

Kevan Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Doublenecks usually have two distinct sets of pickups, volume and tone controls, and their output is summed at the jack, with a three-way toggle to select either neck or both. This is how I have my JEM double neck wired. If you'd like a diagram, I can dig it up for ya. Brian might even have a copy of it somewhere.
