Hello,
I recently upgraded a stock Squier Strat with new neck, bridge and bridge pickup (Duncan JB Humbucker). And now I've installed two Fender pots and a 5 way switch.
My desire was to have the 500k pot controlling only the Humbucker's volume and the 2nd pot (250k) wired to the Neck and Middle pickups. However, I can't seem to get this to work, mainly because I am a beginner at guitar wiring and I would appreciate any help I can get. I'll just outline the current problems I am having after I tried to wire it up.
The HB is active on all the switch positions and it doesn't respond to the 500k pot or even the 250k pot. The neck pickup and bridge pickups are not active on any positions, although previously I managed to get them working in very uncommon positions (for example: the neck was active as well as the bridge pickup on the middle position and the neck was active on the bridge position) I understand this is probably due to the wires being placed on the wrong parts of the 5 way switch but I don't know how to fix it properly.
Like I said before, any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
