Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Ok!
Hi, the guitar is arrived to me few days ago...
I have two my friend that are "professional", but I have wait for 4-5 days, but it isn't available to help me. In the next days I'll see someone!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Yes now it work with no noise with 10 on volume and 0 on tone...
HOw can I test the switching? sorry but english isn't my language.. :banghead:

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Undestand... but I think that work the "inner" coil and not the outside coil...

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
on your volume pot
you have one outside leg wired to the jack
the middle leg wired to the switch
the other outside leg soldered to ground
on your tone control
you have one wire connecting the middle leg to the volume pots middle leg
and one leg with the cap soldered to it
the other leg of the cap soldered to the back of the pot
there is one leg on the tone that has nothing attached to it at all
and between the pots there is a wire connecting the backs of each pot
there is also a ground wire from the volume pot to the jack

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Yes, it is right.
I think that I have invert the wire hot/ground for humbucker or single coil, because on 2-4 position I hear a "out of phase" sound.
Is it possible that this problem caused noise problems?
I have sent a mail to pickups builders and wait for its answer.

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
out of phase wouldnt create noise
miswiring would
if you disconnect your pickups
separate the 4 wires
then, with the meter, test for continuity between
1st the black and white
should be the first coil if wired like duncans
then the red and green
should be the second coil if wired like duncans
if this doesnt match then check each wire one to another
to find out which wires are the coils
then we will go from there

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Ok thanks my friend. For now I wait the answer of a builder, I have already redone the circuit 3 times in 2 days...
For the single how can I know the input and the output?

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
the output or ground is sometime grounded to the pole pieces
or baseplate
on the humbuckers there is usually a shield wire that is grounded to the baseplate
on duncans the color code like this
with the "start" like on a spool of thread
the first section of wire at the center with all the other wire wound round
and finish being the end of that winding

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Belonging the noise problem, on position 2 and 4 (when is activated the middle pickups) the sound is like a single coil with less output and a "quack-sound". Is it difficult to explain that with word.
So I think that there is a out of phase problem, otherwise I can explain this sound... :banghead:

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
are all of your pickups from barfuss?
are they still attached black to hot and green to ground
or have you reversed that?
if you have reversed it and have green to hot and black to ground
this could be the reason for the out of phase
was it getting this out of phase, noise, quack before you swapped the wiring around?
if not
reversing the leads on the humbuckers caused the out of phase
there is another way of getting the adjustable coils
that involves changing the wiring around
it is detailed here
ignore the push pull switch shown
and rewire with the red and white as hot and ground and the black/green combo as
the split

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
Yes, all the pickups are from barfuss. I have send an mail to Barfuss but I don't have still any answer.
But I remember that when pickups arrive to me there was a black wire togheter silver ground wire, so probably Barfuss have used black like ground and green like hot.
So if I have green (hot) black (ground), can I use the second scheme to split the outer bobbin?
Green/black switch
white/bare on pots
red on output
I don't remember if out of phase there was first that I redone the wiring... probably not.
How can I test what wire is ground and what is hot?
thanks a lot my friend, you help is very appreciate!!

Re: Wiring similar to Guthrie Govan
I have redone the circuit, now the out of phase problem is solved but the guitar is always noisy, but only in my PC with amplitube 3, while with bass amp of my friend is noiseless... I wait for my plexi replica, probably the problem there is only with at3.
