jonnyfin Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hey y'all, i've recently got into restoring vintage guitars, but am having problems wiring the pickups with this one: Here is a picture of the underside of the pickguard: (warning, big picture!)res-o-glas I've got a kent armstrong p-90 in the bridge and an old kay single coil at the neck, each having just 2 wires. I found a schematic which is the closest match to what i've got, but it's got only 1 selector switch while i've got 2. gretch schematic Anyways, any help would be genuinely appreciated!

nonamemx Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Try reversing the leads of the noisy pickup. I didn't see any foil on the pickguard, coin toss if there is any form of shielding paint in the cavity, so its likely to pickup a lot of RF, TV, and Florecent light interference. A grounded lining of foil in the cavity may be needed. Or the pickup may be microphonic. It is old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
