Wiring Diagrams

Post by JD01 »

Anyone know a site where I can get good wiring diagrams for a guitar?
Ideally I want to do "tele wiring" with a 4 way selector: Bridge/both in series/both in parallel/neck.

Although I was also considering trying to wire it with two volume pots and no tone pot so I can use the middle positions as a blend.

I'm certain I must have at least one good schematics site bookmarked, but as of yet I haven't found one in my mess of a bookmarks folder. I looked around a lot when I was figuring out how to wire my tele, and I bookmarked pretty much every source I used while building it. I'll let you know if I find the ones for wiring. If you need any resources for other aspects of the build, I do have a ton. They're even mostly organized, except for apparently wherever I got my wiring diagram from.

You need to isolate the pickup cover from ground to do it. That isn't as simple as it sounds.

Thinking about it. You said you were looking at a strat neck pickup so it should be doable for you. Let me look at it tomorrow for you.

Cheers Greg. Think this is the basic version of what I'm after

If I want to go for two volumes I might have to look a bit harder.
