  1. i'm in the process of ripping every thing outa my garage to find my multimetre, it's there some where. I cant belive i'm having this much trouble with this little wiring problem. Last year i managed to rewire an VW bug from scratch with out a hitch. So i'm standing back from it at the moment and tackle it fresh at the weekend. Thank again.
  2. I have it stripped again. I think i'll take your advise and use a different wire. Ive now tested the pots and as far as i can tell there fine...Hopefully it is that computer wire, It was recomended by my local guitar shop. When all else fails, Eh! I'll post some pics when i'm up ans running... THank's for the advise, I'll be in touch soon with some good news I Hope...
  3. Excellent work dude. What type of wood is that on top, The finish is amazing.
  4. Ive just rewired my guitar with wire i took outa an old computer, and theres loads of it in there enough to do a few projects....Make sure its not the one your using now though..
  5. here is the link to the wiring diagram..http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_2v_2t_3w Retried the wiring again, 4th time i might add, the ground seems ok , the volume control on the neck has no effect at all, the bridge can be heard with effect but very faint again, now i'm getting alot of humm which does fade slightly when i touch the pots or bridge. I'm leaning towards all new pots again. Thinking there fried...
  6. Need Help.Im new here, so please be gentle. My head is recked with this problem. I've started work on an old guitar i have lying around for years. Respray and all new electrics. The respray went very well indeed. The wiring no so well. I got 2 new seymour duncan distortion humbuckers, new volume and tone pots, wired everything as the same as the diagram i got with the pickups, put when i plug in theres no sound....When i put an effect like dist on the sound comes through but very faint, and no sound at all when using clean. Ive removed all wiring 3 times now to no avail. Cleaned every thing replaced still nothing. One thing worth adding the ground for the bridge that goes through the body is bad, so i put in a new one still nothing, Not 100% sure how to check if Ive damaged the pots while soldering, I presume to much heat to the pots will damage them. Ive searched for something like this problem, and anything close that ive found ive tried. Patience is running thin.....Oh excellent forum by the way
