Is This Wiring Schematic Correct?

[telemoder]

This just doesn't look correct to me. The grounded lug on the neck volume pot looks wrong. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Looks fine to me. And the neck and bridge volumes are wired identically. What looks wrong to you?

Compared to the schematic listed below, it doesn't look right. Sorry if I'm being a noob on this ... but I am.

Once again you are going to need to be specific about what doesn't look right?

Ok. Well I guess I really don't understand how pots are wired or I suffer from Dyslexia.
I guess it doesn't matter what "outside" lug you make as ground. But if you envision the two pups in the first example (2 Hum, 2 Vol) the same way they are arranged in the second example (Tele 2 Volumes) it appears (to me at least) that the wiring is different. Sorry folks if I'm being an idiot on this one.

The second schematic is going to have the bridge at max volume with the pot turned ccw. I've never owned a tele, so I can't say if that's right or wrong. Either will work, just choose which outside lug you use based on which way you want "10" to be on the knob.

Ok, I received a reply from Seymour Duncan and I'm not going crazy after all! They just noticed the problem which I was trying to figure out ...

Seymour Duncan reply:

Good eye!

I showed this to Scott Miller, who actually writes these diagrams and he said he goofed! We’ll get it fixed.

Best,

My email to Seymour Duncan:
I'm comparing it to the link below where it looks like the left lug on the pot is being used as ground. I'm wiring up my telecaster (with two SD humbuckers) with just two volume controls and no tone. I thought the two schematics would be essentially the same.

Thanks for any help in this matter.

Nice catch. Its like fishin' on the internet. You just caught a large-mouth bass.

Or is that "guitar"?

Re: Is This Wiring Schematic Correct?

The first diagram is correct. On the second diagram, the wrong outside lug is grounded.
