ok, so i finally got my warmoth strat all put together, and of course, there is some wiring trouble. I have 2 humbuckers, 2 volumes, a master tone and a 3 way switch w/ NO split. i followed the diagram on the schematics page of the SD website. so the problem is: when the tone is turned up to 10, it sounds like it is turned down to 1. then, when i turn it down past 7 or so, the tone changes and it sounds as though the tone knob is at 10. it sounds like it is at 10 when it is actually anywhere from 7 to 1, and it sounds like it is turned down to 1 when it is actually anywhere from 8 to 10. Also, there is an abrupt change, not a smooth change like tone knobs are supposed to have. When i go down past 7, it makes an abrupt change to sounding like the tone knob is up at 10. I hope this makes sense. The last detail of this problem is when the knob is on 7 to 1 (sounding like it is really on 10), it gets a nasty hum that i bet would be horrible at higher volumes. My best guess is the tone pot is wired wrong, since the volume knobs work fine.
right now, the tone pot is wired like this: right prong is wired to the 3 way switch, AS WELL AS the hot lead of the output jack (mono). The middle prong is soldered to a .047uf cap., which is then grounded to the back of the tone pot. the left prong is left open. you can see a diagram of this in the schematics under my specifications mentioned above.
ANY help is appreciated. thanks guys.
