I have built a DJT-1, got a nice TV Yellow finish and set everything up and went to plug in and nothing…
I have gone back and rewired it a bunch of times. But can’t work out what I have done wrong. This is my 5th build (so I know what I’m doing), but cannot work it out. I swapped out the pickups it came with for some Nocasters, but didn’t think that would be a problem.
I have wired it up as it came, the traditional 50s way and the modern wiring way. I took apart and tested each part of the circuit, checked for any unintentional grounding. I then thought maybe a faulty part, so bought a new 3 way switch and 2 new pots and installed them, then rewired them both ways (50s style and modern) and still nothing but buzz.
I have checked wiring diagrams, even pulled out the harness off my USA Fender Tele to check that and it is all the same.
I don’t pretend to be an expert at wiring, but I figure I have had no issues with the others (including MK2 and FBM-1). I am getting nothing but lots of buzz when I touch any part of the wiring or the bridge piece.
