Yeah, capacitors again.
When I opened up my HSS Jackson, the existing wiring in no way resembled the schematic I downloaded from Seymour Duncan.
For instance, the schematic shows the capacitor connected between the volume and tone pots. On mine the capacitor was wired directly from the tone pot tab to the tone pot body.
Also, the white wire from the volume pot went to the number one position on the 5-way selector, and then on to one of the tone pot tabs where the tone pot ground wire should start (a single wire exposed in the middle at the 5-way), so it seemed to be both connecting the volume knob to the 5-way switch and somehow grounding the tone pot at the same time.
So, three questions:
1. Are there multiple paths can be taken with all this wiring?
2. Should I re-wire it like the SD schematic shows (HSS one tone one volume, split at #4 position). It seemed to be working fine before.
3. My capactor is labelled "2A473J" What does that mean?
Thanks guys.
