Wasn't sure if I had the right department but when I saw the 'Cheap Guitars are Better' thread, I knew dis must be da place
I'm in the process of rewiring/scraping the rust off of an old Strat wannabe. Its no beauty but neither am I. I tried the 'Quieting the Beast' procedure from Guitarnuts.com. It didn't work but I mean no disrespect to the Guitarnuts -- I used tinfoil instead of the recommended conductive paint & probably spilled a rum or 2 in the innards while working on it.
Could someone point me towards a site with a picture (preferably) of what the wiring should look like for:
a) single coil neck
b) splitable DiMarzzio Humbucker middle
c) splitable DiMarzzio Humbucker bridge (I would like to split both)
I have a rough idea of what to do & can read a schematic if I have to but a pic or wiring diagram works better with my brain (funny, I have the same trouble with reading music ... too many dots I think)
Tanks, tanks a lot.
So anyway, Donald Rumsfeld (stop me if you've already heard this one) enters the Oval Office for his morning report ...
"Mr. President, yesterday three Brazilian soldiers were wounded in Iraq."
G.W. went pale & rested his head on his desk for a long while. After a few minutes, he looked up and asked ...
"Donald, exactly how many is a 'brazillion'?"
