Well guys. I re-wired this guitar 3 times and now it seems to work . Quite relieved.
But some thing has got me SERIOUSLY CONFUSED.
Help with pot functions (pleeeeeease).
OK.........Here is the scenario:
*Both tone pots on 10
*Both volume pots on 10
*Selector in middle position (so both pickups are engaged)
*Tons of reverb (because I like it and it drives my wife crazy)
*Big sound. All great.
Now…
Exercise 1. I turn down the bridge volume to zero and leave the neck volume on 10.
Result: All sound disappears – the guitar is now silent.
Reverse this: I turn the bridge volume back up to 10 and now both volumes are on 10.
Result: Big sound. All great.
Exercise 2: I turn the neck volume down to zero and leave the bridge volume on 10.
Result: All sound disappears – the guitar is now silent.
My big issue here is that, in both scenario 1 & 2, I am expecting that the other pickup will still give me some sound.
I have only ever played a tele and a strat so have no experience with twin humbucker guitars.
Am I missing something here?
PS: this guitar sounds just AWESOME! I really cant believe that I made it myself. Super chuffed.
