Another help with wiring thread

[JerL91]

I'm trying to wire my Shecter up series/parallel, with phase reversal. I'm using two volumes with push/pulls and a tone with a push/pull and a 3-way blade switch. I've wired it up following SD diagrams:

http://www.seymourduncan.com/suppor...ics.php?schematic=series_spl_parallel-w-phase

I'm reversing the phase on the bridge pickup. The neck pickup works but has a really bad hum that gets worse when a grounded part of the guitar is touched (strings any electronics). The bridge pickup only works with the push/pull on the tone pot up, and sounds the same with the 3-way in bridge or bridge and neck, plus also has the hum. I've checked stuff over ten times and can't figure it out. The only thing different than the diagram is that I am using shielded wire so I have the shielding grounded. Could this be what's affecting it, maybe I have it grounded in the wrong spots and this is affecting the phase switching? Or is there something else that I could be screwing up? I'm at a loss and have worked on it for quite a few hours straight so I thought it's time to ask for help. Thanks.

Thanks big time hermetico. :yourock: I looked at it this morning and I did have the ground and hot switched on the jack :smack: and I also had a ground wire where it wasn't supposed to be.

It is working mostly now (I put an Invader set in it btw) and I have it wired up about the same as your diagram , the only difference is the side of the tone push/pull the ground and hot go to and come off of, it's just a mirror image of yours. My only problem now is that I don't think the phase switch is working. It sounds like it is out of phase all the time and the sound doesn't change at whether the switch is out or in. Do you know what could be causing this? I'm not 100% sure that it is out of phase, it could be in phase. I couldn't really crank my amp much and I've never used an Invader neck before, so I don't know how that sounds mixed with another. Plus with the invader, it has so much bass that it doesn't sound quite as "quacky" and trebley out of phase anyway. Thanks again.

I forgot to say; by shielded wire I mean more of the stuff like what the guitar comes wired with. 24 or 26 gauge wire with a shielding wire around it, all in a plastic jacket.
