Can I commision a wiring diagram from someone?

[Hertz32]

I'm fed up of getting my wiring and grounding wrong, so I'll send someone a couple £/$ to do me a clear wiring diagram of
1 vol with Kill pot
1 tone with coil split
Pickup selector
Blower switch that disengages vol and tone but leaves pickup selector active.
Pickups are a set of custom passives using the gibson colour codes, I'd like the coil nearest the bridge active when split.

Cheers!

How many pickups, what kind of switches, etc.? Happy to help.

Sorry to hijack, but whats the deal with grounding when using shielding paint? I've read all over that it requires grounding, but I have no idea how to go about that, especially with a hardtail build, as I'd normally ground to the trem.

2 humbuckers

I'm still looking for a mini on on switch that is tall enough to go through the carved top of my Agile, if you can reccomend one I'm all ears will post a link to one when i find it

Would Spdt or DpDt be preferablee?

You should still have a wiring touching the bridge plate to ground it with a hardtail. With shielding paint, if it's the cavity with the pots, just installing the pots should ground the shielding paint, assuming the pots are grounded of course. If it's the shielding paint in a pickup route, I usually see a small metal lug screwed to the cavity, with the other end grounded in the typical way (soldered to the back of the volume pot).

I'd buy DPDT just to have the additional options available. They work the same. A DPDT switch essentially is two SPST switches controlled by a single lever.

EDIT: actually, at least for my first though on the kill switch, you need a DPDT.

Ok, two Gibson-colour coded humbuckers. Ok.
3-way toggle. Ok.
Volume pot: sorry, what's a kill pot? Do you want a separate kill switch or the volume pot to act as a kill switch via push/pull?
Tone pot: so this does the coil splitting via push/pull; just to confirm, you want the coils closest to the bridge on both pickups to be active when splitting?
And then a mini switch for the blower. That makes sense.

sorry, what's a kill pot?

Maybe this?

 

[Hertz32]

Yyeah, its a shadow kill pot. Basically just has two lugs on the bottom that go between live and ground.

 

[cardinal]

This should work, though I appologize its not the easiest to read. If it doesn't make sense, let me know.

There's also a wiring diagram service on guitarelectronics.com

 

[cardinal]

What I posted should work...

You know, this isn't the first time I've gone through the trouble of posting a wiring layout for someone, and it's also not the first time that they didn't even so much as say thanks or let me know if it worked or not. Was it something I said?

Maybe you should've taken the money he offered.

I think another toe made it into the wiring diagram. Sorry man, I know it's annoying. I don't want to sound like I'm posting in the SS.org Love and Relationship thread but hopefully it won't discourage you completely from keeping up being so helpful.

Maybe you should've taken the money he offered.

Or maybe OP can send a PM to offer money as promised ... or... better yet.... bear with me here because I'm an outside the box kind of thinker... maybe OP could have just said 'thanks!'

There is also the off chance that Hertz just hasn't checked back in for a little while? Looking at his profile there are no newer posts than his last in this thread...

 

[Berserker]

It's only been a day dude...

 

[Hertz32]

I have been busy as of late, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I have definately PMed you about money (before you posted the diagram as Inrecall) however It may have not sent properly as I do most of my posting on iPad and the site isnt really optimised for it. PM me and we can sort it out from there as mine doesnt seem to have worked.
I'll hopefully have a stab at rewiring this weekend, I'll get back to you then if I need a hand. Please don't think I'm not grateful, I've just had a rough ass week so far. Thank you for being patient, and thank you for helping me out with the wiring.


But you could have PMed me before posting publically
Like I said, PM me and we can discuss sending you a couple beer tokens as thanks and I'll tell you what happened that meant I couldn't thank you sooner if you really want.

Thanks for your patience,
Rock on

Sorry guys I shouldn't have said anything. Not a big deal, I just thought it was kinda funny because it's happened before.

No need for any fees/payment/whatever. This is what these forums are for. Asking for tips and help with stuff. And selling stuff you don't want to buy stuff you eventually will sell to buy more stuff. But mostly the asking for help thing.

Back on topic: I hope it works! Let me know if something goes screwy.
