A Quick Question About Guitar Wiring
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2018 10:38 pm
recently bought some new pickups for my guitar and I decided to rewire the whole thing while I was at it. Which is probably dumb, but here we are. I am fairly new to soldering and the wire Diagrams are a bit confusing, but I think I have the basics down. Except for one thing: Push Pull Pots!
I am attempting to do This Wiring Set Up Here to turn my volume knob into a series/parallel switch as well.
The problem is that I am not sure how to orient myself to the diagram. Should I be thinking of my switch pot like this:
With the knob facing up?
or
Like This, with the knob facing down?
I hope my question makes sense. I want the wires to end up soldered to the right terminals, I'm just a bit confused about what side is up.
Smaller side question: Can I solder the ground wire to the top of a push/Pull pot safely?
Last Question: Can I combine this style of a series/parallel switch with 50s style wiring like this? I like the brighter tone offered by the 50s style wiring of the cap, I just want to ensure that these two special wirings wont interfere with each other.
Thanks for any help you can give! I am new to this, but having a blast trying to figure it all out.
