super usefull video! Question: i'm installing a 1 single coil - volume pot - input jack on a old acoustic guitar. Where do i have to solder the "ground"" wire that goes to the bridge on a electric guitar? thanks!
Thank you! It is necessary that the ground wire is in contact with the strings (on an electric guitar, usually the contact is with the bridge ... with an acoustic guitar I don’t know how to be ... maybe throw a wire under the bone on the bridge ?!)
Hello! Thank you. If you do it without a three-position switch, then everything will be the same as in this video ... just solder the signal and ground wires of the pickups together.
That’s a good very useful bit of footage Thankyou for sharing Can you use a push pull pot in this layout so one would have both volume and tone ? And still have this simple circuit Kindest regards
Thank you! I don’t have a circuit video with volume and tone on my channel ... there are similar videos on RU-vid! Then I will make such a video .. I plan!
I love this video. I have a question though; there is a wire sticking straight out of the body of my guitar. It looks as though it was built into my guitar. It's not connected to anything, so I can't identify what it's for. Any ideas?
Awesome, My Ibanez has 2 ground points. One wire goes to eyelet under neck Humbukcer and another goes to the metal plate by the springs in the back. Can I connect those two together and solider to the pot? How important is extreme tin cable back to the pot?
Thank you! Grounding should be at one point ... I do it on the body of the potentiometer. I advise you to look at the information on the Internet ... to do it right.
are the black defaul the ground wire in any pick up? cuz my epiphone pickup got a white and black. i bought and im trying to repair the guitar on my own
Not necessarily the black wire will be the ground. The manufacturers of pickups have an instruction/ manual where you can see the making of wires by color. (search the internet for your pickup ). Watch this video..it might be helpful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iT34WqYrnqE.html
If there goes three ground wires to the back of the pot, then why are you not curling the three wires up and solder the lot at once? This should create less heat on the pot.
@@CigarBoxBroGuitars thank you, working on an old danelectro with lipstick pickups. I noticed they are single coil with 3 wires from each. Red/white and ground. What do I do with the extra wire?
@@theeggqueen a wire without insulation must be connected to white (red) (I think it doesn’t matter which one .. but I can be wrong) - this will be the ground
@@CigarBoxBroGuitars Thank you, I got it working. Red on danos are the (-) white is (+) and ground is ground. I went straight to jack, so it is white to tip, red and black together to sleeve, if anyone else is doing the same thing with dano lipsticks
You need to put a switch (3 positions, 5 positions) ... look at the video on RU-vid .. I think there are such! I will make such a video .. but only in the fall!
@@CigarBoxBroGuitars 👋 hello... at 3:45 you said to connect the extreme portion of pot to the body, what did you use for that?? Was that just soldering wire?
