  1. It is a CRL 3-way switch. I've actually never played a tele..... I'll fiddle with it some more, I guess.....thanks. Todd
  2. Hey again everyone. So I'm trying to do the wiring on my guitar, and I have a 3-way switch, fender style. Four terminals on each side, one side has a spring. I wired it the way it showed me to on Seymour Duncan's website, and the middle position is muted. This is how it looks: 1 2 3 4 A B C D Spring I have the neck hot going into 1, the bridge going into D, and jumpers on A-B, B-3, and 3-4, with 4 then going to the volume knob. Neck and bridge positions work fine, middle position has no sound. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Todd
  3. Alright, thanks everybody for the advice. First, I only have one guitar because I'm poor (and married). Secondly, yes the spot I do my soldering in sucks, no room, no light...... And no, idch, I guess I really didn't think it out. Seemed easy at first, but it wasn't. I think I'm just gonna go with one push/pull to split the coils, and one to put the two pickups in series/out of phase. Maybe that I can handle...... Thanks everyone! Todd ps Crafty, I went to Guitar Source in Overland Park. Since Mars closed I don't even know of any other stores.
  4. I have been doing it all outside of the guitar.....it never even occured to me it could be done inside the guitar. That just seems freakin impossible to me. I might go to radio shack tomorrow and get one of those cordless, "cold heat" soldering irons. Maybe that and a magnifing glass will help me Thanks for the input. Todd
  5. Hi there guys. I've been doing a lot of research lately, trying to make my guitar "be all it can be." I came upon a diagram of the Jimmy Page wiring scheme, and thought I would add to it. Basically, what I am trying to do to my 2 humbucker, 2 knob guitar (schecter c1 classic) is: -one ON/ON/ON switch to put the neck pickup (a seymour duncan jazz) in series/split/parallel -one ON/ON/ON switch to do the same to the bridge (a seymour duncan JB) -change neck volume out with push/pull to wire both pickups together in series/parallel -change tone to bridge volume, push/pull, reverses phase of bridge pickup -one ON/OFF/ON switch to add the "strawberry ice" mod to the guitar I am also doing treble bleed mods to both volumes and I am changing the stock 5-way blade switch to a 3-way blade. Now, after doing some extreme research, and head-scratching, I came up with a wiring scheme for all this. The only problem I am having there is I don't know how to wire the 3-way blade, but that doesn't even matter. Sooooo, I take my wiring schematic to the local guitar store (I live in Kansas City), which is basically the ONLY guitar store around, and ask to talk to the guitar tech, thinking he could maybe "proofread" my schematic, and give me some pointers. Well, he told me that there was no such thing as an on/on/on switch, he didn't know what a push/pull pot was, and he told me that the strawberry ice would never work. I wish I'd taken the push/pull pots with me, I could've blown his mind......anyways, That guy is useless. So I went to radio shack, bought a soldering iron, some solder, some spare wire, thinking what the hell, I'll do it myself........right........ I cannot solder worth anything. My hands are too big, too shaky, my eyesight it too bad.....blahblahblah.......suffice it to say I will never be able to do this myself. Well, I've had my guitar all torn apart for about a week now, and that is my only guitar, so I am sick of the whole thing....I still want to do it, cause it'll be cool, but I want someone else to do it......which brings me to the point. If I can find a decent guitar tech to do all the wiring/soldering for me, how much do you think they would charge, considering I have all the parts. AND If I can't find anyone around here to do it, do you think I could send it somewhere and have them do it? Anyone on here live near Kansas? Thanks for reading my long post, hope someone can help me! Todd by the way, I don't know if everyone knows what the Jimmy Page wiring is, but basically it takes two humbuckers and lets you get 21 tones from them. Sure, most of them are very similar. Well, my way of doing it would give you 40 different tones, or 120 if you count the strawberry ice settings. Sure, most of them will be similar, but how awesome is that?! 120 sounds from two humbuckers........now if only I could wire the damn thing. Anybody want the schematic?
