Help! Confusion over non-functioning electronics

Hi, I've recently finished my first self built guitar which I designed from scratch. However, the wiring I've used doesn't seem to be working as intended. The only way I can get any out is with the middle and neck switches up (on) and even then, I'm not sure all the pickups are working then. I've pr...

Re: Need help with unusual wiring

My preference with this kind of set up is 3 switches going to a master volume and tone. If you wanted to get fancy, use on/off/on switches with the other "on" being out of phase. Kind of redundant but very easy to use. How would I go about setting up the other on to be out of phase? As I'...

Does the signal go back along the unused volume and tone knobs? As far as I am aware, I thought it'd take the path of least resistance to the jack. However, what you said about the connected volume knobs does make sense. I haven't been able to find a schematic for a three volume knob design, but I'm...

Need help with unusual wiring

Hi there, I'm building my first guitar and have decided to go with a humbucker/single/humbucker layout for my pickups. I've also got on/off slide switches for each pickup as well as individual volume and tone knobs. I think I've laid out the wiring correctly but I'm not entirely sure and would be ve...
