Dumb Question...

Post by gutpile » Mon Sep 17, 2007 9:19 pm

I just installed an RS Kit for a friend tonight on his LP and when I put it back together the toggle switch is backwards, neck setting is for bridge PU and vise versa :oops: ... my question is, did I wire the toggle switch backwards or the Pickup wires to the pots? I feel like an idiot, I would have bet money I wired it the same way!! :oops: :oops: i can tear it apart and see, but i figured i'd try for a quick answer first.....

Hey, gutpile. Assuming that both p/ups are still being controlled by the correct pots (even though the switch is operating backwards, the neck p/up should be being controlled by the pot closest to the bridge), then it sounds like the leads from the switch to the pots need to be reversed, at the switch. There is just the one lead from the jack to the switch, so if the p/ups are wired to the correct pots, then just swapping the 2 connections from the switch down to the pots should do it. Good luck!! 8)

Never a dumb question, and never a waste of bandwidth, my friend. Thats what makes this forum great... LOTS of knowledge in LOTS of different areas, and all for free. 8) 8)
