I want to wire a single pick up, six pole, volume and tone pot.
I have found this diagram:
http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php...
My questions are:
Do I need that little .047 Cap, I have everything but that little baby.
With a CBG it is mostly wood so what do you do about grounding to the bridge.
Cheers Ron.

I have to ad a question, I have a single pickup like the one in the diagram but it only has one wire coming out. It was from a cheap tele copy, would the ground wire just go to the base of the pickup? I want to use it at some point in a cbg.
I'm going to ask a stupid question, because I already know you've looked, but could the single wire be coaxial, a wire within a wire? Probably not if the pickup is a "cheapo". But if that's the case, separate the two wires and you're good to go. If not I would think that there has to be some place on the pickup where either end of the wrapping is connected. That would be your two connections.

I was just looking at the pickup and it is just plain wire. I don't think it was grounded originally ( I pulled it out and I only remember cutting one wire.) So I can add aground to the foil wrap end? I do see a bit of solder were it ends.

Try running two leads from the pick up,( I use a pair of alligator clips on each end of a wire), to a jack temporarily and plug it into an amp. Tap on the pickup pole pieces with a screwdriver. If you can hear it through the amp you know you've got a connection.

Grizz, I took another look, you are correct it has a coaxial wire, its so thin I did not see it so I looked at the switch I clipped it off and the end with both main wire and ground are plain as could be. Thanks.

hello i like this diogram but i was wonering if you can tell me the diogram for 2 single coils with 1 vol and 1 tone with no switch
thank toy,
robert
You just take the wiring diagram for 1 pickup, 1 volume, 1 tone and wire the second pickup to the same points as the first one so both hots go to the left lug of the volume pot and the two earths from the pickups go to the common earth point (in this diagram the back of the volume pot). Out of interest why no switch?
excellent question..
at very least put one dpdt for series parallel switching with both pups always on..
push pull pots can be had on ebay for around $5 fwiw..
to the original poster, yes you need that capacitor although you can experiment with different values, .047 is just what fender use, anything from .001 to .01 will work just fine. without the cap the tone control is just another volume control, its the cap which provides the low pass filter and sends the highs only to ground. its a primitive R/C type filter. capacitors of this type are only a few cents, but make sure you use a heat sink when u solder em, its easy to cook em and render em useless
michael telecaster rhythm pups have the metal cover connected in with the cold end of the coil. when u add series parallel switch to telecaster you gotta break this connection and add a third conductor to the pup, so the cold and ground are separate
