jbkim Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 -enter content here- Heh It looks like your standard 2HB/2V/2T setup. Take a look at GuitarElectronics.com http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/category/wiringresources/ for some examples. Input jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinner16 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 hmmmm (scratches head) I see 2 vols. 2 tone ... and 1 Master volume ... and I'm just learning how to do wiring myself.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully JoryNad will be able to extrapolate how to wire in the master volume from those diagrams... does it really require additional explanation?

JoryNad Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 wow more than the expected in terms of replies, thanks guys! how would i get the master volume to control but pick ups whilst the other 2 volumes still work individually, thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinner16 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 nyjbkim : I guess Jory could not "extrapolate" how to wire in a master vol. control ... So I guess yes ....It does require an additional explanation .... I'd like to know myself how it can be done or what I should extrapolate from other wiring diagrams to come up with a viable schematic. I'm sure there are more people in this forum than Jory and myself who are not Thomas Alva Edison's. Jory: I'm sure someone will have an answer on how to wire in a master vol. for your configuration... Unfortunately... I don't Oh, by the way... "extrapolate" I believe that's worth at least 20 points in Scrabble...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I guess it does! Look at a diagram for the 2HB/2V/2T configuration. Where the wires would go the the output jack, wire in another volume pot. It's as simple as that. sinner16: I'll try to use smaller words for you next time .

JoryNad Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 thanks guys, yea ill will be doing that, and hey if if doesn't work i can always ditch the master volume! horay! aswell any one knowe of a place where i can find a good cheap neck.... preferably gibson style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 If you have both individual and master volumes, you better use 1M pots because with every volume set to max, your pickups will "see" 500K to put it simply. If you use all 500K pots, the pickups will "see" 250K because the individual and master volume pots will in effect be connected in parallel, which would be OK for single coils but not ideal for humbuckers.

If that doesn't do anything for you, your next best bet is probably Carvin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
