rabidmoose171 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 The dimarzio Evolutions are also pretty damn hot, and i personally love dimarzio. Wiring a tone knob is incredbly easy, its just a .10 or .22 or somewhere around that size cap soldered onto a 500k pot, with a wire from the volume. heres a diagram for Dimarzio pickups that i used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hy_dro66 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Wiring up any set of pickups with a simple pup selector, volume control and tone control isn't that difficult. On top of that it would be good to learn that stuff if you are planning on building or customizing guitars. It doesn't take much research. Look at some wiring diagrams(posted everywhere on the net), analyze them and use them and eventually you'll be comfortable with it. Tone controls are almost useless unless you are playing jazz or you need knobs to mess with when your playing a gig. The hardest part is learning how to solder. You can do it!

Pex657 Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Soldering will be the easy part. Wiring everything is the hard part. Also I was looking around for coated covering wire, i heard that helps with noise and hum if you get better wires. I have a quick question. What do you people usually do after your done with a guitar. Play, show, sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 stewmac has all the wire you need for guitars...but the emg pickups already come with high quality wiring supplied...plus they are absolutely noiseless...completely....even under my high gain use i play my guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pex657 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Is there a guide some place to figure out how to align all the saddles and either where to buy string nuts, or how to make the simple ones? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalefish Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Thanks for the help everyone. Does any one know what Tom Morello uses in his guitar the black fender that has soul power written on it? Hope this isn't too late but if you're still interested, Morello uses a Seymour Duncan Hotrails pickup in the bridge position while the other 2 are stock Fender noiseless pickups.. The Hotrails is a humbucker in single coil size.. And guitar wiring's simpler than it seems.. Really!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pex657 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Thanks, I think that is a really kool looking guitar, always wondered what he had in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
