Hmmm. I've got this problem. Simple set up. Two distortion humbuckers. Three way switch. Two volumes. One tone. Mono jack. When I turn both volumes all the way down, no sound. So far so good. When I turn the neck volume all the way up and the bridge volume all the way down, then select the...

Just finishing this one up. Got to resolve an electronics issue (see pickups forum). It uses the tried and true JB/Jazz combination. with push pull pots to split the coils.

Hmm. Well, I came up with a schematic based on this one: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/2hb_1vol_1tone_3way.html Only I added push pull pots to split the coils. It doesn't work. Before I go looking for a bad joint or a misplaced wire, Can anyone confirm that the schematic...

I hooked everything up last night following this schematic: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/lp_custom_wiring_schematic.pdf When I plug in, I get nothing. I think I may know the problem now and will try it out this evening after work. The threeway switch is not supposed to be...

Nearly finished. I strung it up and played it without electronics last night. Just need to heat up the soldering iron and go to it. Plays great. Suprisingly loud for a semi hollow body with the top and back a bit over 1/4" each and the bridge mounted in solid wood. The top and back are curly...

I have several grouding questions. FIrst, I am using a JB, a Jazz and a Phat Cat. All with metal covers. Do I need to ground the pickup chassis or do the ground wires from the pickups do that? Also, I used copper foil to line the electronics cavity. I was planning on making a brass sheet...

Thanks guys: JacksonMIA: As for color, I was planning a sunburst but I think now I would rather go with a blue translucent finish. Rich S: I was not aware of MIM but I will be spending a lot of time there now! The bridge I have for it is a hipshot baby grand bridge. I think it is cool...

Well, I am in too far to stop now. My kids are learning electric guitar and doing very well (14 year old is into AFI and 11 year old into Metallica). They are having so much fun I had to join in. Therefore, naturally, I am making a guitar! I have already made most of the design decisions but I...

Here is the schematic: http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/lp_custom_wiring_schematic.pdf OK, I understand this schematic pretty well as far as how and why the connections work (No small acheivement for one who has always believed that electricity was magic and electronics...

I am making my first electric guitar. The electronics are the only big stumbling block. I have built a few banjos so the woodwork aspect is not a problem. I am considering using the setup found here: http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/lp_custom_wiring_schematic.pdf Using...
