    Wiring Diagrams are available as PDF downloads in the video section. Just click on the video you need in the "Wiring" section and you'll see a link to the Wiring Diagram.

    Seymour Duncan (http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/) has a great library too, including things like 4-way Tele switching, the Page LP setup etc.

    Thanks, I actually used their site for developing our Pit Bull Guitars wiring diagrams. I didn't think it was right to just link to their site as some of our wiring is a bit different.

    Great resource though.

    Hey guys

    I have found that a number of SD diagrams are flat out wrong.
    DiMarzio tend to be much better quality in terms of being useful circuits but they still have some issues (like coils hanging from hot).
    Just an FYI there.

    well I know I will be asking this very soon, so I guess I can get ahead of myself.

    Got a wiring diagram for the HB-4?

    Hey Mike, I will email one to you.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    I am a little bit confused with JM -1 wiring. there seems to be no active from the pickups/switch to the volume and tone controls and just an earth/ground from the lower tone to connect but how is the guitar suppose to get active? and where the hell am I soldering the ground to?

    Hi Joshj

    This is the F-type Jaguar that comes with a pre-wired control set? Hence, there should be a spare volume control lug on each of the Volume Pots to attach the Yellow and the Red 'hot' wires from the Pickups. You will need to solder the 'ground' wires from the Pickups to the back of the volume control case. Make sure that you have a ground wire running from the bridge to the volume Pot or else you will get hum every time you touch the strings.

    I don't have the wiring diagram that you are speaking of in front of me, but the volume pots should both have a separate wire running to the selector switch. There should be a spare lug here which you will use to run the resultant selection to the 'hot' tip of the output jack. Finally run a ground wire from the ground of the output jack to the back of the volume control case. If you have not used copper shielding you then need to make sure that each case is grounded by running a ground wire from each case. If you have shielded the pickup cavities etc, then this step isn't necessary as everything that needs to be grounded (in terms of the Pot controls)will be.

    Hey Josh,
    I've never built a JM kit but looking at the photo on the PBG site it looks like the pickups should be pre-wired.
    Looks like its a similar strat style tremelo so you normally earth to the bracket that holds the tremelo springs to the body, solder to his plate/bracket

    Dingobass has built a JM-1 so he can confirm when he reads this.

    can you please post a photo of the back of the control plate and scratchplate Josh may shed some light.

    Gav is on the right track I'd say you have to run the hot wire and earth to the input jack

    Have you had a look online for JM wiring diagrams ?
