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
-
HI, again!!! here I am with new questions.....sorry guys!! me dumb!!! How do i wire a switch in order to get series/off/ parallel!! But, in position 2(off), get the 2 hot wires from both pickups!!!! In this wirins we have 2 wires before and 1 after, in any of 3 positions, but i want 2 wires after! one of the hot (normal) is in all positions and the second only work in position 2 (off) With a draw is better to explain, but i don´t know how to post it position 1 ___series___series____ 1 wire position 2 ____________________ 2 wire with no touch between them ###### ____________________ position 3 _______parallel_______ 1 wire ######### /__parallel__/ note: (#####) just to put the lines forwards, not for the drawing Got the idea??? so what should i do??? Is it possible?? Thanks bruno

Diferent Frets In Same Fingerboard
brunomendez replied to brunomendez's topic in Inlays and Finishing Chat
okok!! I see the problem with the higher frets, the buzz, of course maybe scalloping is the best way!!! But also wider frets... yes i think this is a better way for me!!!! less chances to ruin my fingerboard I have to explore this "wider" way!!! thanks bRUNO -
Hi, I´m building a guitar and ocurred to me a in putting speed frets in the first 12 for a fast fingerboard, and in the last ones a bitter higher for better bending!!!! What do you think of this??? my regards bRUNO
-
Thanks lovekraft, I was looking to find a way to put less switches in the guitar, and after my post I was thinking and acurred to me in dual stacked pots!! it will work ok! Also the idea of Dugz Ink in puting a pot that's piggybacked with a push/pull switch, is cool (thanks)! Hey, Dugz Ink, nice "trick"!!! many thanks to you all (maybe soon I will be here again asking new questions ) bRUNO
-
hi, again!! Sorry to insist, but, in the wiring diagram that lovekraft posted, the pickups are linked to output seperatly (stereo), so for volume it must be 2 vol pots, one for bridge and other for neck!! or it can work with 1 master volume pot, like this it won´t link both pickups before he reaches the stereo output??? my regards, and sorry for all questions bRUNO
-
Hey thanks guys excelent!!!!!! ok, now i got my head clearer!! Hey look at this wiring on a mosrite stereo 350, its similar i think : mosrite stereo 350 hope i put it right it is used that switch, and 2 jacks, monos i think! perhaps there were no stereo jack at that time so they used 2 monos many thaks again
-
First, thanks for all answers!!!! I heard about stereo guitars (like bb king lucille, i think) and start looking, and i saw wiring diagrams for a stereo jack, a mosrite stereo 350 with 2 jacks (don´t know if it is 2 monos or 1 mono and 1 stereo) and later the rickenbacker!! so I got a little bite confiused! I´m building one guitar and i´m thinking in putting the in stereo way, but i don´t know if i should drill 2 holes or 1 But imagine that i can wire it stereo with 1 stereo jack and it work normaly, would it work also with the mono cable, amp....??? You may be thinking "this guy don´t know what he want´s", but what i´m really looking for is for the guitar work in both ways. IF POSSIBLE, of course!! bRUNO
-
Hi, is there someone who could explain to me how to wire a guitar for stereo sound! do i need 1 stereo jack only?? 2 mono?? 1 stereo and 1 mono?? How do i wire them?? if you can inclue a diagram, it would be easyer to me many thanks bruno
-
hi, thanks for the riplies Hi get the idea!!! many thanks

Hello!!! I´m making a guitar and i´m going to chose the potenciometers and capacitors!! My question on potenciometers is: which are the efects on volume and tone (250k, 300k, 500, 1M)?? I´m using a HSS setup! In the capacitors: which tones they produce? One more: will i get advantage on putting a 500k on the humbucker and 250 on coils seperatly or use the same pot for the 3 pickups??? Many thaks for all replies bruno
