Hey gang, I have a Lil 59’ neck - SSL-3 middle & JB bridge. I used this diagram and now position 2 & 4 are out of phase. Unless that’s what it’s supposed to sound like but I have another one that position #3 in a Hum-hum is out if phase and I have it setup that way. But in this one it’s a NO...

Hello gang, I've been looking into the Fender Lonestar diagram and I also found a version in which it uses resistors. I know the Fender version does not have resistors. So are the resistors necessary for the hole thing to work? I have a HSS that I like to do it this was but don't know if I need...

Hello gang, I plan on updating my rig to 3x Hot rails. I know some of you prefer the vintage/cool/hot setup but I like the heavier sound of the hot. Plus that's what Dave Murray likes and I'm a big fan. Okay here's my dilemma. I found 4 diagrams on SD and don't know which one of the 3 I should...

Hello gang, I have an old Ibanez RS125 (hum-hum). I bought it dirt cheap and the prev owner changed a few things. I wanted to bring it back to original (close to) but with 2 SD humbuckers. The Ibanez came from factory with 2x hum, 1x vol, 1x tone, 3 way switch and a mini toggle switch (phase...

Me again but this time I can't seem to get whats wrong. Here's a schematic of my wiring on a Fender of mine. It has Vintage Noiseless in the neck and middle and a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. Simple 250k pots and a reg 5 way switch with a on/on/on for series/split/parallel and on/on to but...

Hi. I'm on my 8th project and would like some help on how to wire a Fender SCN n+m and a Seymour Duncan Hot rails bridge. I know the green and black on the Fender go to ground. On the Hot Rails, the red and white get soldered together and taped. The green and bare go to ground. My question is...

I have a Fender Hot Rod. Its about 6 years old and lately I'm getting hum form it. I moved and it didn't sound like this. I checked to see if the tubes are well set and they are. Also when I have the T.V. on and shut it off, the hum reduces some but not all. I'm guessing a grounding problem...

I heard that the wood of the guitar desides the string gauge for the guitar. Its that true. If so what kind should a mahogany body with a maple neck and ebony fretboarduse, or a maple body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard. This can not be true, then every one should change theirs to get the...
