Dedmans build 3 GD-1

Seriously Dedman, the creativity is amazing. When micro-me (currently 6) decides to Goth out in a few years time this build will be the template.

Looking great Dedman. The photo makes the body look asymmetrical, I assume that is just the angle it was taken at.

Yea Fretty, my crappy camera has a bit of a wide angle (about 35mm in film days ) so stuff gets a little distorted.

soooo, I went to wire this up today. Not having much luck. Front pick up is fine, and it splits just fine, if I go to the both or back pick up on the switch I seem to get both although faintly.

I'm using this diagram

my switch has 4 terminals but as Weirdy suggested I ran the volume wire through both middle terminals.

the only other thing I've done was I wasn't sure about what the diagram was indicating so I ran 2 wires like so for want of a better way to join them


and I've double checked the jack wiring.

Hey Dedman, maybe if you can please post a photo of the control cavity ?
Maybe try removing the 2nd wire that you have drawn in red. Have you copper shielded the control cavity ?

Sounds like the bridge pup is getting earthed somewhere, double check the lugs aren't making contact with the copper shielding (if you have shielded it). Also make sure everything is earthed correctly

[Dedman]

I've packed up for the night, so I'll have another go tomorrow Wokka, will get pics if I'm still having issues. at this point the pots and switch are outside the cavity still and yea, shielded everything

[wokkaboy]

no worries Dedman, it sometimes helps to look at it fresh tomorrow

[Dedman]

I've not used push pulls before so I presumed I can earth to the top of the pots?
