Ok. First stumbling block. Finish coming along pretty nice. Basic water based dye black and then back sanded to pop
Grain. Followed with red dye and the first few (of many) Tru Oil coats. I’ll have pics later.
But wired up the pickups today (replaced the kit pickups with Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. They are working but pretty loud buzz. Seems to be loudest on bridge pickup but still there on the neck as well. Gets better when I touch the switch and the pots from behind if that helps someone think of a suggestion. Here is a pic of the harness. Excuse the soldering, first time doing it.
(Well. I will try to put up a picture. Forum keeps saying fail to upload my png file?
Any good threads to read on buzzing?
FYI. The Pearly Gates have five wires in their braid. The red and white are taped off and do not go anywhere in my kit
Setup (per the instructions). The Green and bare wires are put together and soldered to the back of their respective pots with the black (hot) wire to one of the respective pot leads.
