Hi all,
I hope someone can help me. I recently purchased a used loaded pick guard that was originally wired by Griblin engineering. It is wired Duncan SL-1's. The volume pot has a treble bleed circuit on it and is also a push/pull to engage the neck pickup. I should mention the pick guard also had an advancd tone knob circuit on the first tone as well as what they call a "woman tone" mod on the second tone knob.
I did not like the teeble bleed so I went ahead and removed the capacitor from the volume pot. It was one single orange cap no resistor. I've included a picture pointing out the one I removed. After doing so my volume pot only functions full volume when turned down to about 8. Then it does sweep to about 5 where it completely loses signal but then functions again between 4-0.
To decribe in further detail there is very little to NO signal from 8-10! It is loudest at 8. Please help? It did take quite a bit of heat to get the cap out and I more or less melted out the cap. Did I toast my volume pot? I included a picture of the advanced tone pot as well; possibly it affects the treble bleed/volume pot in conjunction?
