The Pickup Place / Wiring help
« on: August 31, 2018, 12:23:16 PM »
So... this is my second time redoing a guitar from scratch. Assume I'm an idiot with these things and probably just missed something obvious.

I’m running a mo joe bridge, fast track 1 middle, and satch track neck, with an EP1112 switch, 1 volume and 2 tone controls. These are the two diagrams I’m attempting to combine:

http://www.dimarzio.com/sites/default/files/diagrams/2h1vv_nbtone_split2and4_c.pdf

I’m using the first for the pickup wiring, and the second for the tone controls.

I’m also using the diagram to wire the bridge for series/parallel using an on/on/on DPDT combined with phase inverter using a DPST from the packaged instructions for the pickups. It all mostly works, but…

The problems I’ve encountered  are:
Position 2 gives no sound, and there’s ~ 500K Ohm resistance between hot and ground. The resistance drops  when in position 5 and I do have output.

The  middle and  neck  seem fairly dark given that they both emphasize treble response. The bridge is considerably brighter than either.

I reversed the red and green wires for the middle and neck, but both are still out of phase with the bridge.

If a diagram similar to 3HEP1112 with 2 tone  controls could be created/is available, that would be perfect and I’ll go back to the drawing board. I looked all over the wiring diagram site and the net, but wasn't able to find anything that matches more closely that what I've posted here.
