Guitar Pickup wiring diagrams

Author: admin
Date: 28-Jun-03

[dancetech database recompiled in 1999 - some articles listed April '99 are older]


So often a guitar has broken wiring inside, or you went to do something inside and forgot which way the wires went after disconecting them, or one of the wires or more broke and you forgot which way they were wired, or you want to re-new old knackered looking wiring and fogot which way they went etc etc etc....

I found an article in GUITARIST mag' (Author: Robbie Gladwell. August '94 issue), and I'm adding the diagrams to add here as an aid to help out in such situations.

I aknowledge in full Guitarist mag's copyright, and if they want it removed, fine I'll pull it... Otherwise I add the images here in the spirit of helping out guitarists on a budget...

Hi,
I'm just starting out learning guitar and have bought a Wesley six string with a bridge humbucker and two single coils. My question is simply can anyone tell me which pickup combinations are selected on each of the switches five different positions? Thanks in advance!

What do you call a bass that has both P and Jazz type pickups? I'm looking for a wiring diagram for a National Bass with EMG Selects in it. It has 3 pots, at least one is volume of this im sure lol, but is the 2nd one for blending the pickups and the 3rd for tone? Or would it be two volumes (one for each pickup) and a tone?

I have a Pacifica with a H/S/H configuration. The bridge humbucker has parallel/single/serial options. Problem is the single coil in the middle position is out of phase with one of the humbuckers of the other one, depending on how I wire the polarity. How can I get an in phase sound from both the 2 and 4 positions on the pickup selector switch?

I am doing a school project of how an electric guitar works. I wanted to have a demonstration of how the pickup works and how the motion is changed to energy. I got a magnet, copper wire, a volume control and a jack but when I pluck the string no sound is made. It doesn't have to be good I just want to make sound. Can I do this with the tools I have? Do I need a certain size magnet/certain number of winds in the coil? Any help would be great. Thanks, john

My Strat dramatically loses high end
when I back the volume knob off,
even a little bit.
This renderes the volume knob
useless and forces me to use a
volume pedal.
I'm told there is a trick involving a
capacitor. Any advice? Thanks, Dave

I have a TKE 5 way strat switch I got from a friend all the solder points are inline and there are only 7 unlike the Squire switch that has 8 connections inline. I have tried to wire it several ways and cannot get it to work properly. If anyone knows where I can get a wiring diagram for a TKE strat switch I would apreciate it. Here is a link to a picture of one. http://www.soundchamberrepairs.com/frames.htm

If only I had these diagrams when I built my first guitars in 1973 (Les Paul) & 1975 (Strat). I was close!
Got here from your Red5/Akg comparison- The AKGs sound terrible specially the Toms, but the kick is poor too. I have the RDV1 as well but was initially disapointed - expecting a really precise accurate sub to it like a large condensor. We now mix it with a little amount of Tandy PZM inside the drum on blankets, with the low mid punch from the RDV1. I have got good results from the back next to the beater on some kits, but often theres too much snare rattle.

Happy Dancing

Andy

I was just curious if the wiring of a Fender Squire is the same as the american or mexican versions. And also if the pickups are vastly inferior. Do you know what the range of resistance in these pickups are... strats and teles. Thanks

I have a Squire strat, and wanting to replace the 5-way selector switch. The one that was sold to me is a new'er Fender replacement, which has the pins split to each side. The old one are all on one side and is a standard switch for the squire. The guy at the store said this new'er one is a better switch. And he was not very clear as to rewiring it.

I have an Ibanez am73 Artcore series semihollowbody with two humbucking pickups. All of a sudden I am not getting the sound of both pickups when the toggle switch is in the middle. I get only one pickup. Any idea as to what could be the problem? Due I just replace the toggle switch or could it be something else?

I have a 73 Standard blonde tele and I get a hum that stops when I touch the volume pot. How can I ground to eliminate the hum. I tried to ground by soldering a wire from the volume pot to under the bride but that increased the volume in the bridge pick-up and made the middle and neck pick-up sound the same with less volume. Do you have a diagram for this model.

Thanks,

Mike

Bought a seymour duncan humbucker and want to wire it in the bridge position...it has 4 wires inside the shielded wire - red, white, green and black, plus a bare wire. the old pickup only has a black and a white wire - can you tell me how to correctly connect the wires?

I just purchased an old alpha les paul copy. The wires are completely disconnected from the pots. It has two humbuckers and four knobs and an input. No toggle switch. I'm assuming the knobs are for volume and tone. Can these be wired without the toggle, and how? Would the volume knobs be independant? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have a 3 pickup Start it is a H-S-S setup. I need help making a wiring diagram for a idea I have. I want to use a push/pull pot 250/500K for the Duncan JB Jr. in the bridge, to get single and full humbucking settings.

I want to use a old sstyle Fender 3way switch to wire up only the Bridge and Neck pickups to it. I I want to wire the Middle pickup as ALWAYS ON ...by using the 2nd tone control as a seperate volume control wired HOT.

if anyone has any ideas or can helpin anyway, it would be greatly apprecited.

Thank you so much for your diagram on Gibson Twin humbucking circuits. I own an Epiphone Sheraton II which is a copy of Gibson ES335 so I would assume that it is wired the same. I recently plugged my amp cord in to the guitar jack socket and now I have a loud humming sound and no sound from the guitar. I've been told that this is a sign that one of the wires hooked to the jack socket has disconnected. I plan to have a professional repairman fix it for me. I've also been told that all the wiring has to be removed to repair this problem. I wanted to see how this wiring works and was glad to find this diagram on your website. Thank you again

I think I may be able to use the diagram you posted for the twin humbucking cicuit above just modifying it for the set-up (see below).

However, I am hoping to get a diagram for a BC Rich Warlock guitar I am fixing for a friend of mine. It has two humbuckers but he took the original one out at the bridge and replaced it with a Duncan-Seymore but he didn't wire it right and made a few soldering errors.

It is set up with three pots and a three-way switch. I think it is a volume pot for each pickup and one master tone pot because only one one has a capasitor on it.

Anyway the Duncan-Seymore has four wires, black,white,red, green, but also has a wire sheath around them which the last two are grounds.

Any help with a diagram would be appreciated

I have a Jackson that has a metal plate that the pots and switch mount to.
Being the pots and switch are grounded together by this metal plate, do I still need to have ground wires between the pots and switch? Would this not make for a bad ground loop?
THANKS!

I am trying to do up my old strat-style guitar. I have a pick guard with two humbuckers and 1 volume and 1 tone control. I'v never really fiddled with the wiring of my guitar until now and can't seem to find a diagram which explains where to put everything. It'd be great if you could help. Thanks

i recently installed an SD invader in my LP style Epiphone, in the bridge. All the connections for wiring were made into the 3 pos selector switch, as it was with the epiphone factory pickups, i have also installed a Bill Lawrence 500 xl in the neck. my problem is that when i play on the bridge pickup i have an amamzing amount of power but not a very clear tone , in comparison with my Ibanez, and ideas why? thanks.

Hi,

I just bought a D'Angelico Excel archtop, with two Kent Armstrong pickups. I also bought two Bartolini PBF 55 nad PBF 57. A would like to get a wiring diagram for them; there is a tone and a volume control, and a 3 position toggle switch.
Do you recommend some good electronics? I understand that good electronics are cleaning the tone. Can you suggest me what should I go for?

Hi

I'm trying to get inside my freinds Sheraton but I cannot get in through the pickups as they are blocked off. I've unscrewed the pots (one at a time) and they look fine but the neck pickup still won't work. the lead connection looks fine to.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a wiring diagram for an Aria Pro II Bass from the 80's? It has 2 soap bar pickups, 2 concentric pots, 2 three way micro swithhes, and to make it even more complicated, a 3 way selector switch! Who was the Einstein that put this together? Thanks for any help/advice. J.

Hi
I have a Yamaha Pacifica 12 string - 3 single coil/1 vol/1 tone + fiveway. I changed the pickups to staggered pole (Tokai) & now the fiveway has no effect, i.e. the same tone no matter what. Anyone have a wiring diagram so I can check it out?

Thanks

I will be installing Fenders "Samarium cobalt Noiseless" pickups in my American Standard Strat. I've read I should install a .001 capacitor to keep the sound "clean", when rolling down the volume control...??? This is at the volume conroll itself, but I'm not sure how (and where) to properly "install it? I read "to the in and output lugs of the volume pot". Does this mean ONE capacitor ACROSS those two lugs, or TWO seperate ones at the input and output respectively? I would appreciate any comments someone can offer. THANKS!!!

A buddy of mine recently bought an Epiphone Les Paul Special II. Once into the little studio though, he found the OEM humbuckers a tad weak. We cannibalized a two tonne Charvell/Jackson for the pickups. They are either Charvell or Seymour Duncan four wire plus ground.
The guitar has a three position SPDT switch which we like but the replacement pickups as stated are four wire config.
I've tried a couple generic wiring options and I get the same result each time. With the bridge pickup selected, one of the coils is rather hot, while the other is rather low output. The same is true when the neck pick up is selected. In the middle position all four coils are rather flat. Both pickups are wired the same way.
Coil one's (+) to switch, with coil one's (-) to coil two's positive and coil two's negative to ground.
I've used the Duncan and the DiMarzio recommended wiring schematics as I can't find a Charvell schematic for a SPDT switch set up. Charvell uses a five position switch. Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?

Thanks
Greg.

Hi, I have just purchased an Epiphone SG custom 3 pick up guitar. I would like to change the control format currently 3 volume controls and 1 common tone. I have a Gibson SG custom 3 pick up and this has 2 volume and 2 tone and this format seems to give a better tonal control and more overall control of the guitar. The overall buid and playability of the Epiphone is quite good and I can tell the difference when playing the Gibson which I have had for 18 years but I have had the Epiphone so I can retire the Gibson as it is too valuable to take into pubs where anything can and usually does kick off.
Thanks in anticipation for your advice.

best regards

Dave Rowley

I am lookin for a wiring diagram for two humbuckers for one volume and one tone with a 3 way switch and or a 5 way switch, I recently purchased an schecter pt blackjack, it was butchered and does not work at all, different humbuckers, and 3way switch changed, I purchased two new lace alumitones as an experimental project, and need to get a good wiring diagram for the configuration mentioned above. Or if you good tell me where to look, the diagram I received was for les paul set up two vol and two tones, not what I was looking for, thanks for any help.

I have a deluxe players strat with a pushbutton that allows 2 more pickup combinations than a standard five way switch - 7 combinations in total. I want to add a tbx pot as a master tone control for all pickups but I want to keep the five way + 2 swithching that is already working on my guitar. The only tbx wiring diagrams I've seen allow for tbx tone control for bridge and middle positions, but not the neck. Is there a way to have it work for all 3 pickups and still keep my 5 + 2 wiring? I'm inexperienced with electronics so a clear diagram would really help.

They have a white and a red and green wiring on the neck pickup and a white with a white and black intwined wire with it and I need to know how to wire it up the right way since I'm used to the fender noiseless way of wiring a pickup.

i need help--have a tele with SD FS in neck and hot rails at bridge--both 4 wire HB's. Took guitar apart for refin and carefully documented wiring.
Since it's been 2 months, and with moving things about, some more wires have come loose and I don't know how to
reassemble. Use miniswitches--2 between vol and tone. They worked as follows or all 3 master switch settings
(F,B,R): both down, full HB (series) on both HBs. both middle pos--2 single coils; both pointing at player,
both PUs in parallel. It worked great on all these settings with no feedback.
I just cannot remember how all the wires go.

Many thanks,

Bill

I worl as a guitar tech for The Cribs and the
guitarist has just started using a Gibson 335 so I'm
looking for any handy repair tips for when the
inevitable happens.

I've got to grips with reparing whatever goes wrong
on a fender, but I am looking for advice on how to
replace the input soclet and tone/volume pots on
the 335 as there is no easy access to the wiring, or
to hold the parts in place when putting them back
in the guitar.

Are there any special tools available for fixing these
guitars, or any tricks I could use?

Cheers

hi,

I have an Ibanez RG 550 LTD. I needed to replace all the stock pickups with the new ones. My luthier messed up the wiring i requested that i need to do it myself. I need your recomendation ( a diagram is better) on that.

My new pickups
Brigde - Di Marzio DP-100 Super Distortion
Middle - Seymour Duncan Hotrails HSR1-A
Neck - Di Marzio DP-193 Air Norton

I have Ibanez stock 5 way switch.

I have enough pull-up switch pots but my luthier only managed to fit 3 of them on the guitar.

My intention is 2 volumes (1 for bridge and middle and 1 for neck as neck has relatively lower output) and 1 master tone.

Pot pull-up switches will act like this:

1. Bridge and middle HB> single coil
2. Neck HB> single coil
3. Add bridge pickup when 5 way switch is in 4th or 5th position ( by adding the bridge hot to common output of the switch).


My problem is due to the mechanism of 5 way swith i can not make 2 volumes. If i could have 4 pots i would use 3 volumes and 1 tone that i could feed the 5-way switch from volume pots. But now as bridge and middle share pot 1, i can not do it. I can not figure out how to feed from switch to two different pots either.


Please reccomend me a solution for this. I have a gig tomorrow evening and there is 7 hours difference between my country and New York ( do not know santa Barbara). So i need your reply as soon as possible.

Please excuse my urge and thank you very much for your help in advance.

Best regards,
Dr. Taylan Benker

Hi,

Please help with schematics for HHH pickup combination in Start shaped guitar.

Ibanez RS-205 made in 1983. 5 position switch with 1 tone and 1 volume control.

Neck pickup is Dimarzio PAF Pro
Middle pickup is S.Duncan Stack
Bridge pickup is S.Duncan Fullshred

All 3 pickup are connected as humbucking serial configuration for hum-cancellation with maximum output(or so I thought according to schematics that came with the pickups).

The middle S.Duncan Stack sounds, very thin in tone and weak in volume.

Cheers Sam

I have an 83 Strat and the pickup asm does not have any metal shielding under it like some other strats, just plastic - the question is, this has three pickups and the pickups N&B only have one insulated wire coming back from the pickup - not the usual black and white hot/gnd. The middle pickup is gray and black (two wires).

The question is what king of pickups are these? The Neck is RED insulation covering hot/gnd (one wire, hot/shld-gnd) and the Bridge PU is GREEN insulation covering two wires (hot and shield-gnd). The selector SW is a 5 WAY. I understand that it does not need the foil backing on the underside of the pickguard because the wires are the shielded type - but I cant find ANY fender strat PUs with shielded wire. This guitar was one of Kurt's crash Strats (in black) and may be composed of many parts, but the asm looks original with the jack in pickguard as it should for an 83 japanese.
Thanks!!!

I want to wire a guitar with two humbuckers (bridge and neck), two volume nobs, one tone nob, the output jack and a three way switch. The problem is that for some reason my pickups only have two shielded wires and 1 bare wire. all the schematics i have seen have humbuckers with 4 wires. if anyone could send me a link that would help it would be greatly apreciated.

Hello, I having to redo this e mail because I used the word TX in it so here we go again. I have a Mexican made Strat that a friend is replacing the pickups for me they are the TX Special pickups and he said the wires on the TX pickups are a lot bigger than the wires in the guitar. He wired it up by the instructions that came with it and the neck pickup doesn't work. He changed the pickups in my Hwy 1 American made Strat with the Samarium Cobalt Noiseless and didn't have a problem and the wires were big just like the pickup wires. Will the TX Special Pickups work on a Mexican Strat or did he do something wrong? Or do you have any idea what went wrong. He said he went by the instructions on wiring it. This being a Custom Body work guitar I didn't do it myself because I didn't want mess it up. If you can help let me know. Thanks, Tommy PS Why can't I say TX in your e mail? Is this a dirty word?

i own an ibanez axs 42 guitar. for the style i play it works well. all though when it comes to the low end it sound rather clustered and i get some evil noise . i was wondering if there was any wiring mods to maybe reduce these factors. i assume all i need is a better way to ground the wiring but im not sure were to start.

I'm having a problem with bad hum or ground noise coming from my les paul only when my toggle switch is positioned to neck or bridge pickup. The noise is gone when the toggle switch is set in the center position (both pickups). Could something be wrong with the toggle switch wiring?
Thanks!

Willie

And if so can you tell me the height my pickups should be.
My e 1st string seems to loose volume after the 12th fret is this something that can be corrected?

Please help me!
I have a french brand - V-Line guitar(indeed very rare)
I wanted to wire the electronics properly. Also the tone control pot is spoilt and I cant get a replacement. If I can get a wiring diagram, even bypassing the tone control, I will be obliged. It has two pickups, a volume , a tone pot and an output jack. I dont even know if the pickups are single or double coil, coz they are embedded in the guitar!
Please help
Thanks and God bless

Hi there!

I am bulding a stratocaster copy. I am writing to ask if the capacitor's value has to choosen according to the pickups you are mounting or if a .02UF is going to work anyway. Is there a difference in tone if I choose a different-value capacitor? Would you suggest a 500K pot for the volume and 250K for the two tones?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards

I have an American telecaster deluxe with the three pick up configuration and an extra toggle for parallel and series switching. I replaced the neck and bridge Fender Noiseless pups with samarium cobalt noiseless pups and left the middle fender noiseless pup in place. I soldered the white leads from teh SCNs to the appropriate ear on the switch and soldered the black and green wires to the volume pot (ground). All three pickups work properly when the switch pup is selected individually. However, when I select once of the combinations, i.e., middle/neck or bridge/middle, I get a thin sound with 1/2 the volume. Can someone help me figure out what I need to do to get the full volume and tone back in the combination positions??
Thanks.

How do I wire up 2 really old single coil pickups so I can chose either pickup but also both - in-series and in-parallel.
Would slider switches be useful to "switch" on/off either pickup ?
How do I go about a switch to reverse the polarity of one of the pickups ?

Each pickup has 2 wires to go to the wiring set-up I ask about, then will poutput this to a vol+tone set-up I have already.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hey,
I have an early '70s 3-humbucker SG Custom. I'm trying to find a wiring diagram for it, and maybe some circuit mods to change the p/u combination selections. Also, any suggestions on replacement pickups would be helpful (my stock pickups seem really weak.)
Thanks,
Patrick

I have a '83 (i think) made in japan fender telecaster with 1 volume, 1 tone, and 2 toggle switches. 1 for pick up select and 1 for phase (i think). Do you have a wiring diagram for this. One pickup is bad and one toggle switch is broken and I would like to fix them.

I'm building my first guitar, I am installing 2 humbuckers but want to install a 5 way switch instead of a 3 way. I am thinking of 1) neck humbucker 2) neck/bridge humbucker 3) bridge humbucker 4) neck single coil 5) bridge single coil. Are there any schematics like this that I can follow or any other suggestions/ideas of what else to do with this setup?

Thanks,

My soldering skills aren't all that amazing. So... any one know where I could find a good wiring schematic for these?

I couldn't even find anything on the SD website, let alone, get a response from there CS...

Anyhow, any help will be greatly appreciated.

FMIC replaced a defective bridge pu(didn't work intermitently, then completely)in my 52 reissue tele. At that time the warrenty person modernized the selector config. but didn't use the .022mylar capacitor given to me with the guitar(mod done at my request)
The guitar now besides being way more microphonic than it ever was, makes static and popping noises, (when everything is not grounded by me touching some metal on the guitar) as I simply slide my left hand from one position to the next on the neck without even fretting any strings.
I'm thinking of reversing the selector and capacitor mod to orig....then I could tell if it is the new pickup???
I hear about pickup polarity issues?..
Any thoughts on this.......
I imagine we should have used the included .022mylar cap specifically included for this mod?........jeff
