doublecheck the wiring before starting as the color code of the wires doesn't need to match exactly between those pups even if the same colors are used...

Guys, thanks for the good ideas, everything helped in analyzing. Just checked out some more things and noticed that exchanging the crappy Zoom wall adapter also helps in minimizing the noise to a level which is really ok... My other guitar, a Korean LP look-a-like seems to create a similar...

no, that's ok so far

the switch is the original one 3-way w/o any gnd tab, so it seems to be ok. The cavity is shielded with paint (Ibanez factory made) but I'm thinking of putting in some copper foil as I did it with my other guitars. Ok, just tested it quickly in another setup...normally I tested with a Zoom G2nu...

another thought...does the orientation of both pickups also have effect on noise, e.g. due to degrading hum cancelling effect? The screw poles for both pickups are located towards the bridge...

Thanks for the ideas...again invested an hour or two to get rid of the hum, but no chance...switched back to the original pot w/o pushpull for some other reason (killed the p/p :) ), resoldered all wires incl. the plug, improved contact to the gibraltar bridge - no help. The guitar has a simple...

Hi, I initially referred to this one: Guitar Wiring Diagram 2 Humbuckers/3-Way Toggle Switch/1 Volume/0Tone/001 But later on I noticed that there's an error regarding the p/p pinout, the lower 2 pins should both be tied to GND (the lower left pin is connected to the neck's start which is a...

Hi, after swapping the PUs of my RGD7421 and changing the volume pot to a push/pull type for coil split I've noticed a gentle hum when I'm not touching the guitar (strings, bridge etc). This is independent of the switches' position. The only thing which I could think of causing this is 2...

Hi, you can check out the Deluxe Players wiring: http://support.fender.com/service_diagrams/stratocaster/013-3000_02A_SISD.pdf There you will find the noiseless pu with 2 wires - or do you have the 3-wires version? When I mounted a set into my Strat this was quite straight-forward, hot wires...

Ok, thanks! I have different drum sanding tools to be used with a drill in a stand, so this should work, too... But I assume this will take some time. Did someone do a similar "conversion" in the past with success?

Hi there, this is my first post here, thanks for this great forum! I'm planning on changing a mahagoni strat body with a rounded edge shape to a more superstratish edged style - any ideas how to proceed the best way? Handheld sanders and a router would be available. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Can someone give me a hint how to fix the tremolo arm on a Wilkinson/Gotoh VSV tremolo (6-hole)? There is something written about a screw in the manual, but I can't find it - the arm is simply moving up and down... Many thanks from Germany, Dali Edit: finally found it, it's one the...
