Volume pot does not change volume (Tele)

[davidxw]

Thanks Joe for the prompt reply. I can't remember exactly where I got it from, but the diagram I used is below (it's upside down so that it aligns with the photo I took). This is also what I've seen on a few YT videos. Clearly it doesn't work though!



After reading your post I went to wiring diagrams on my pup website and they are pretty much what you've described:

Standard tele:

My pup combo but with a different swtich:

I'll make the updates, but are you able explain the differences?

Also I assume the treble bleed goes in the same place, i.e on the volume pot between the switch input and jack output?

Edit: sorry, I missed your original comment about the tone pot grounding.

Yes, a bird's eye view would help.

The one difference I see between your schematic and the PRS one is that the tone pot 'input' and 'output' are reversed. It seems like that shouldn't matter, but maybe try playing with the tone knob while you change the volume? Just a thought...

On closer inspection of the two different tele wiring diagrams there is no difference - it doesn't matter weather the signal goes to the input or wiper terminal as long as the tone cap goes to the other, and is grounded.

I'll take another photo tonight, as well as check/improve the dodgy looking cap ground connection ...
