Once again...thank you. Nice idea....I think I will give it a try.Originally Posted by WeirdBits
Short on time, so I hope a quick sketch will do...
Dotted line is the ground link between the pots, if you’re not connecting them via shielding. And, of course, you will still need a ground wire to your bridge (make certain the black bridge coating is conductive).
Let me know if anything is unclear.
The way it works is when the tone is on 10 it shorts the red/white series link to ground, giving you a single coil. As you turn it down to ~8 it increases the resistance between the series link and ground and gives you full humbucker (both coils). Then as you turn it down further it’s giving you a conventional tone control. Essentially, single coil should give you the ‘brightest’ most treble sound, then humbucker, then the normal tone taking out the treble down to zero..
I have never thought about checking the conductivity of the bridge.
If I just gave it a smack with some sandpaper in the area it will contact the wire I would hope I would be good to go.
Back home tomorrow night.
I did not like the colours....going to sand back and just try Jarrah all over....may sneak some Mahogany highlights along the bevel and edge angle changes.
I have already made the wiring harness...and did chop the leads off the capacitors...may have to dig in the box of unused ones.
