Hello everyone, Problem solved....I removed the capacitor from circuit and now everything works fine!! Thanks for all the help bruno

Hi thanks for the reply, the capacitor is .047, it came with the guitar. I see your point on soldering, it really is dificult to get a decent solder joint, but it seems ok, I will try to remove the cap first to see if this is the problem and then I will do as you say. Thanks bruno

Hi, it really helps, yesterday I was thinking of doing that thing you say by connect one pickup at the time or/and remove the capacitor! I think I´m very wrong in concept about the tone cap, I will remove it first and see the result. Thanks for all the replys

Hi, thanks for the reply, I edited the drawing, I forgot to draw the ground in the pot sleeve and pot casing. Well, I only connected to the ground the bridge pot, the others I didn´t cause I think it will effect the volume of the pots, in my mind I have that if i connect all the pots (ground like this: wire to the ground each pot or wire between pots and then to the ground ), the volumes will function (wrong) as a main and not single for each pickup. Later in the wiring all grounds connect themselves, maybe the problem it´s that they meet in the end of the wiring....but I think that, for ground, in the end or begining ist the same.... I know I can be very wrong about this ground matter... Hope e could explain it good... Thanks

Hi there, here´s the wiring diagram, hi tried to be as accurate as possible: This is just a "exploring guitar idea".... it doesn´t have a pickup selector, the idea is to cut the pickup with the volume, as for the tone, there isn´t a pot for it, just wired directly into the the main wiring (maybe this is the problem...) Please don´t get me wrong, I´m just trying to do something different for me.. Many thanks for the replys

Ok I will draw it, but I don´t know how to post it in the forum.. Thanks for your reply!

Hi, I got a strat and I wanted to change some things in it, so I came with something simple: only the 3 strat pickups and volumes for each one. So I wired them like this, each pickup to a volume pot, then I connected all hots to the jack. The problem was that theres no sound from the guitar when I plug it in, pickups all work fine, it should be the wiring. PS - For the tone, I wired the capacitor directly into the main hot and ground wire before the jack. Anyone already used this kind of wiring?? I need some help wiring this simple...thing.. Thanks

Hello there, I bought a Bartolini 3av pickup to put in my acoustic guitar but I can´t get sound from it. I wired it to a vol pot and a tone pot and the jack and couldn´t get aa signal. The amp is ok and the wiring seems ok to me (its not my first guitar wiring), also I check the pickup with a meter and it look like the wire as ok. Can anyone tell me some info in how to wire properly this pickup? or its damage and its better to buy a new one? Many thanks for your time bRUNO

What does this mean? Sorry for the long absent. Position 4 is neck and bridge turned off, but with a bypass. This wiring is for 2 humbuckers, but the guitar as 3 hum, so that the 4 position turns off 2 pickups leaving 1 on. this can be achieved with on/off switches, but I want to cut some switches if possible. many thanks for the replys! bruno

Hi!! I got to humbuckers that I want to wire in a 4 way switch like this: 1.Neck 2.Neck and Bridge (Series) 3.Bridge 4.Both off with bypass Can someone help me in this?? I draw wirings but then I can´t wire them... Many thanks bruno

i found a few ones in ebay, very cool!!! by the way, i have wiring prob, it´s not related to the topic, but its like this: ok, its a stereo cable to be used with a 3pdt switch, in position 1 - its stereo and position 2 - 2 mono, how do i wire this?? it should be easy but my mind can´t figure it out example .......... ________________ stereo ________________ stereo ......... _______________ mono stereo ________________ mono oh, i forgot to tell, the 3rd pole is to instal a led, the 3pdt is that fultone switch that stewmac sell, i´m building also a box to change signal into 2 amps hope its clear!! many thanks for all the help

hi!! hummm, I see your point, thanks! But 3p3t would by like on/on/on, i think the right is 3pdt fo on/on and 3 poles many thanks!!!!! now the thing is how to find it:) and to wire it

hi, in my guitar circuit i come up with a normal situation of 3 on/on switches, they have to work all at the same time in diferent circuit , meaning (ex.on1/on2) that all on1 and all on2, for diferent circuit i have to use 3 switches!! so i have, 3 switches=3 "toggles", and want 3 switches= 1 "toggle"...any ideas??? i come up with this: glue 3 jaguar slide switch, cut a little of 2 slides and manage to glue the 3 slides so that it can work with 1 slide. weard... Ps - toggle=slide=.... hope you get the idea, if not reply and i will try to explain a little better many thanks bRUNO

hummm!!! ok no problem, but how do i wire it??? sorry to keep bothering you!!! bruno

hi, lovekraft, i saw it, but now how do i get the hots from both pickups in split ways, like i putted in the drawing!! its for that stereo/mono circuits!! mono in series parallel and stereo in off position!! but i think i can´t get this wiring!! the hots will always be in contact!! thanks bruno
