Not bad!

I just picked up a Kay Les Paul copy Synth Guitar with all the electronics gutted. Anyone have any leads on a schematic? I'd love to rebuild it! Thanks in advance.

I have re-wired my guitar with a P90 in the neck and an alnico 4 in the bridge but am now getting a major volume drop when both are in parallel with each other.

Is this to be expected with a combination like this? I know that because of impedance you will always have a bit of a volume drop when in parallel but have never experienced this much before. :roll:

It's not on the fender site and I'm having a hard time searching for it.

Is there a way to simulate lower value pots in a guitar? Just to test out so you can decide if you want them or not. I have a guitar that I just put new pickups in and its a bit bright for my tastes, but I was thinking that it might sound better with lower value pots. I guess what I mean to ask is: will a 250K resistor from hot to ground simulate a 250K volume pot? I just don't want to go through the hassle of changing the pots if I'm not going to like the sound, I would rather save time and...

hey i dont know if anyone can help ive looked on a few websites to try and find a wiring layout for this idea but have had no look, I have a lil 59 in the neck and a Hot rails in the bridge, i believe the coils can be split. (i still cutrently have the stock pickup in the middle)

i was wondering if i could get it wired up so that i can have:
Position 1(fully down - Bridge) - full on hot rails
Position 2 - one coil from the Hot rails
Position 3 - one coil from hot rails one from Lil 59
Position...

Morning folks.

I got a Les Paul Studio that I'd like to tinker around with. Upgrading the electronics, just various mods to improve tone. I was looking to do stuff like on this website: but I'd like to source the parts myself if possible for the practice, because I enjoy it more that way, and you know, save some cash dollars.

I'd appreciate any information you can give me on where to look, or how to do it!

Thanks,
Adam

anyone ever use schaller floyd rose II (single locking)???
what do you think about it??

Never looked into this forum yet. NEVER NOTICED IT! :D

You folks honing your instrument might by interested what came out of my Strat after complete shielding (á la guitarnuts), pickup replacement and installation of Armstrong switches. Look up my website.

Hey guys, I was doing some reading about shocks from guitars, and I read about bridge grounding is the main cause.
While reading about it, I learned that the main reason is to prevent hum.
In the next week or so, I am getting a new pickup for my old guitar.
So the main question is: Is there any way for me to not ground to the bridge and still prevent hum?
Below is the diagram that I am using .
Thanks.

Howdy,

I know that Joe Naylor has kept his wiring for his guitar pretty well a secret.
Particularly his Bass Contour Control. But being the fool I can be, I decided to re-wire my Reverend
Buckshot. I didn't think to write down a diagram of what the stock wiring was.

I disconnected the BCC, and put the guitar in a 60's Tele configuration. Now I've traded the darn thing and
need to get the BCC working. The G&L set up won't work because with G&L the bass roll of pot is last before the
output...

Is there a way to wire 2 vol pots for an HSS strat,one 500k and one 250k and then having a 250 pot for tone?.
The ones I found have interaction between the two volumes in position 2 which renders the coil split useless by making it sound thin.
MAybe somebody can point me to a diagram or ideas.
Thanks
Aharon

Ok,I'm putting an full size HB in the bridge position with the remaining two being regular SC p/ups.
There's coil phase and magnet polarity also.Should the HB coil closest to the middle p/up be installed reversed?
Thanks
Aharon

Hi there, I've got an Ibanez artcore semi-hollowbody and am going to put some GFS humbucker sized P-90 Dreams in there. Along the way I'll likely upgrade the pots to Japanese CTS copies that I like. If I want a more acoustic hollowness in the sound is there a better kind of cap to use?

Also what is the best wiring for tone in p-90 equipped semi-hollowbody?

Hi folks!
Does anybody know something about the Caparison angelus wiring? It's pretty interesting since it uses a 3-way lever switch to have 2 classic choices (position 1 -neck, position 2-bridge) and then a rotary switch to select the sound in the middle position; here's the link:

I've been searching for a while but i couldn't find anything...

Thanks for your help! :thumbsup

He says he uses SD's wiring color codes. I'm trying to do this on my friends strat that someone just screwed up doing a super switch on. My question is the SD pickups have a red and white wire along with the green and black. I don't see the red and white wires in this illustration. What do I do with the red and white wires? Can I not do this with 4 wire pickups?

Hello!
Anyone got info on this?
Someone on the guitarnuts-forum wrote:
One way to do it passively is based on the idea behind both the Suhr BPSSC System, and stacked pickups like those made by DiMarzio (Virtual Vintage) and Kinman.

With the Suhr/Ilitch system, you use a large diameter coil of heavier gauge wire than used in the pickup. The larger the gauge of the wire, the lower the resistance. That will help produce less loading and less of an increase in inductance. The large are covered by...

I've tried several wiring mod (split-coil/parallel/out-of-phase) for my Ibanez JTK II with dual humbuckers setup. But this Coil-Swap mod works best for me because they're still hum-cancelling/in-phase with in-between tones on all positions.. i don't know better words to describe the tone :oops:

Here's the simple diagram:

My guitar wiring diagram:

Anyway, this is how it works, let’s say :

upper HB is neck, lower HB is bridge

Nn is screw coil in neck HB
Nb is slug coil in neck HB

wonder if anyone can help ? :hmmm:

I recently bought a John Birch Customised 1961 SG Les Paul Custom.

The Birch Modifications, consist of a what looks like a Coloursound fuzztone type board in a new routed cavity opposite the vol/tone cavity, with a micro switch on the bottom, a 2 way knob switch above that and 2 pots above those.

The back has been routed for active electrics which appear to be wired to the middle pick up, with a centre route for the battery.

Now I am not sure what all...

Any info on this? I'm considering to rewind my old humbucker like this? These humbucker got 16k resistance :shock: . Now iam confused that should i use 43 awg or 44 awg wire for rewinding ?

Hi guys,

I have been working on a Telecaster project which is 99.99% done, I just need to fix up a humming noise but I don't know how. I'm using Seymour Duncans - Vintage Stack (neck) and Hot Stack (bridge). Basically what happens is, when I touch any metal parts of the guitar (on a clean setting) I get a rather quiet 'tick' sound. On a distortion channel it is a loud 'ZZZT'.

I have followed the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram here:
The telecaster body is shielded with copper tape.

my friend is planning to do this, and im gonna wire it. seems very simple, but only one question: is there a place to get kaoss pad touchscreens, so that i dont have to limit the kp use to one guitar?

i don't want to add any more switches; i just want to replace the parallel 2/4 positions in my strat with series wiring. it seems pretty simple but i can't find anything online. the only thing that i found said that you need to by a $20 Super Switch but then it doesn't say how to wire the Super Switch.

can i just do it with the original switch?

:hmmm:
