Re: Please help me wire this 2502N Ibanez style switch That switch is a special 5-way selector switch (3PS1SC5 switch, 'COR-TEK' on front with '2502N' printed on back), it has a board pattern like this: The standard 5-way import switch has a pattern like this: Check the linked thread in...

Re: 1Meg Ohm Volume Pots and swells Thank you for the kind correction, it seems the post I cited was incorrect and my analytical reasoning skills are rusty.. This is a chart from Bourns' PDB181GTR line of pots: So.. possibly the curve of the audio pot was more "backwards-L" shaped as...

Hello people! I am curious if there are any people/services that offer to cut down pickup mounting legs: 1.) taking a long leg pickup, 2.) cutting off the current mounting face, 3.) bending the end of the remaining leg 90 degrees to make a new mounting face, 4.) and then punching and...

Re: Newbie Question - PRS SE Custom 24 pickup swap @1:57 @4:24 Ok.. Got it! If your switch is a standard 3-way import switch with a connection pattern like this.. Then this wiring should work for you.. The two black wires on the selector switch come from the pickups, the white wire...

Re: Help with Wiring Diagram - Master Vol & Tone, 7 Way Strat Mod These are quick-connects, but the connections would still be the same.. The pickup selector has 2 connections per lug (stacked), it is an Alpha 5-way And I have my connections on lugs B0(output)-B3(neck)-B2(middle)-B1(bridge)...

Re: Help with Wiring Diagram - Master Vol & Tone, 7 Way Strat Mod From the Premier guitar article: If you only want one tone, ignore the tone connections in the pic above and send the input of the volume (as depicted in the above pic) to the tone as well. Do the tone like it's done in this...

Re: Newbie Question - PRS SE Custom 24 pickup swap Hi, import switches on HH guitars are commonly wired with the 2 center lugs joined (the 'commons' on this switch) going out to the volume instead of coming off the outer lugs (as in your diagram). Here is how the switch in my Hellraiser (with...

Re: Dean quick connect swap for 57/66 help? As you look at the back of the EMG pickup, if the prongs are on the left then the red wire is at the bottom, if the prongs are on the right then the red wire is on top.. Taken from a listing:

Re: American Deluxe HSH Pickup Replacement Here are the 4 poles of Fender's 5-way lever discrete switch, I tried my best to write legibly: It is basically half of a super-switch glommed on to a standard oak grigsby 5-way. I still can't tell you how it translates to a reg super-switch though..

Re: Blackouts wiring help Also, in your photos: what is the loose hanging red wire, the one that disappears into the body, connected to? Here is how the switch in my Hellraiser (with EMG 81tw and 89r actives) was wired: (link if pic doesn't load) Notice that the Yellow wire on the switch is...

Re: Blackouts wiring help Hi, welcome to the forum. I will see if I can post a visual example later but for now I can tell you that if you look at the pic ending in 'D5DD2C.jpeg', the bare wire connecting (from left to right) lugs B3+B2 and lugs A2+A1 and then goes out to the tone (then vol)...

Re: looking for pickups to replace mim stratocaster stock Not to disagree too much, but I have had plenty of bright active pickups (the 81tw in my strat now can rip off faces if one is not careful..), and the Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbucker set in a strat can peel paint with its highs...

Re: No sound from my bridge pickup:( I found this at the 'MyLesPaul' forum.. Does/Did your wiring look like this? If so, in the above pic you can see that the wire comes in from the pickup and then a jumper wire with two leads (the red/blue wire connecting the pots horizontally in the pic)...
