Hey folks,
I am working on swapping out the esp actives that my LTD H-338 with a set of blackouts. The guitar has the factory 3 way switch, 1 tone, 1 volume. I gutted the existing electronics and followed the blackouts guide to wire up the battery, stereo jack, tone, volume and the 3 way switch. Everything seems to be solid except the pickup switch is obviously not wired properly. I am getting the neck pickup on in position 1 (usually just bridge), both pickups active on both position 2 and 3. Any chance someone has any suggestions on re-wire to get the correct behaviors?
The wiring is as follows:
1(left) - 8(right)
1-2 (bridged with solder) bridge pickup hot soldered to 2
bridge ground soldered to ground pad left on the switch
4-5 (bridged with solder) wire on 5 going to middle pole of volume pot
ground for the above wire is soldered to right ground pad of switch to ground solder on the back of the volume pot
7-8 (bridged with solder) neck pickup hot soldered to 8
neck ground soldered to ground pad right on the switch
