Hi All, So like the title says... I soldered / installed new electronics (500k volumes) (250 tones). The bridge volume POT seems to static and not work at all when I turn it to 9 or 10. I can roll it back to 9ish and it will then work. Also, if I have the bridge pickup on and hit the strings...

I'm in a band that plays anything from jazz, funk, rock, disco etc... George Benson, AC/DC, Stevie Wonder, Nile Rodgers (Chic), and so on. I'm using an Epiphone Dot with the SH-1 59' blues set (neck & bridge). I'm playing out of a Peavey Deuce and also have a Marshall Valvestate 8080. I'm...

Re: 3 way switch in middle. Lower the neck all the way, the bridge goes out. vice ve I wired it as it states in the Les Paul diagram. Does this seem right?

Hi All, I just wired my new SH-1 59 Blues Set (neck and bridge) along with Les Paul electronics (pots, 3 way switch and output jack) in my Epiphone Dot. The pickups are single conductor. Anyway, I tested the wiring before I fed the harness back into the body by tapping a screwdriver on the...

Hi all, I've just installed the Les Paul electronics kit into my Epiphone Dot. The volume pots are 500k and the tone pots are 250k. What difference would it make if the tone pots were also 500k? Just wondering for future projects. I have a couple of other guitars that I now have the itch to...

I have a Marshall Valvestate 8080 and as soon as it's powered on, the fuse blows. I removed the head and didn't see anything noticeably wrong (no popped capicators) etc. Does anyone have an idea to what it might be? I'll probably end up bringing it to a tech but would like to try some things...

Re: Requesting help with new Les Paul electronics and SH-1 59' wiring question...

Hi all, I am beginning to install my newly purchased SH-1 59' Neck and Bridge pickup as well as a Les Paul upgrade kit.. Pots, output, tone switch... my dilemma is.... I have 2 diagrams from each product... However they are not wired the same when comparing both diagrams. I'm new to guitar...

Stupid question but are they the same? I've seen online where I can get the SH-1 59' for about $72.00 (in black) or $90.00 (nickel plated) each. But I also see that there is a set of SH-1 59's (neck & bridge in black) for $130.00. I've looked at the specs and they seem the same to me (noob)...

Does anyone have any recommendations as far as what would be the best pickup for a semi-hollow Epiphone DOT to play Funk, R&B, and Jazz? I'm playing through a Peavey Deuce as of now. The pickups that are currently in there are Samsung (I never knew Samsung made pups.) Someone had mentioned...
