Fairly rare guitar so I am having trouble tracking anything of the sort. I would like to recreate a Gibson RD body and slap a neck on it. Anyone?

You're right, it will remain a cheap guitar, but if you end up making it that much better and actually really enjoy playing it, there's no loss in that.

I can't comment on too much here, but I do know that active pickups sound very similar regardless of the guitar.

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a shot when I get home. As for taking it to a tech, that won't happen. Pots cost 5$, I'll ruin as many as I have to before I bring it into a tech. I'd rather practice and get better at it. It's not like I've been doing this for a while. Sorry about the pics, didn't fully read the rules I guess.

Hey! I actually got a bit of sound out of it by switching the wires but still not full sound. And still lots of buzzing! There must be something else.....

What do you guys recommend? Lately I've been using a butane one because I can't find my plug in one, but either way I figure I am going to go buy a new plug in, anything I should look for?

that first pot is a volume pot. In the seymour duncan diagram it says to run a wire from the output jack to the ground. Am I that stupid? hahaha No one answer that!

after seeing another diagram, why would the seymour duncan diagram be the way it is in their schematic? Is there any benefit to it?

Hey cool! thanks for that. That looks nothing like the seymour duncan diagram I was trying to do........

Actually the one that's there is for a nighthawk. Not the same guitar but it seems to more or less be the same configuration except for the switch. Problem is I'm trying to follow the seymour duncan wiring off their website, I thought I had it but it doesn't work hehe. I posted my problem in the electronics section.

Anyone have a wiring diagram like the previous ones for a gibson with two humbuckers, one volume one tone and a three way switch? Thanks!

Alright! So I am new here, have been reading for awhile though, great info on the site! So my problem is this. I just recently bought two seymour duncan pickups, JB for the bridge and a Jazz for the neck. My guitar is a Gibson Hawk which has one tone, one volume, one three way switch and obviously two humbuckers. While messing around last night I broke something on the original pot, so I went out and got an All Parts 500k pot. I also picked up a .047 cap while I was at the music store. I decided to re-configure the wiring after seeing the schematic on the Seymour Duncan site. Located here: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem...1tone_3way.html I believe I have followed this properly but alast I get no sound just loud buzzing. I know it would be hard to see from pictures but any of you more experienced guys see anything? Thanks a bunch in advance! http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Max_.../Picture015.jpg PIC SIZE TOO BIG!!! RESIZE AND POST AGAIN.
