Custom Guitar Electrics and Wiring - Pickup selection tone and volume control

[contact1araya]

so they say 250k for single , 500k for humbucker. But If I tap the humbucker then I have a sigle coil with 500k pot............is there such a thing as a dual or variable pot?

[muaythai4lifelife]

Are there any issues or sound changing on the pickups using the decoupled way of wiring? I mean, db loss from pickups, poor sounding...

Thanx

[Plipas]

amazing video thanx a lot, I understood a lot of things. But I have a question. If I have a pus/pull potentiometer of 500 kΩ and I want to split a humbugger pick up to two single coil, how can I find the balance with the potentiometer? Because if I understood with the humbugger I need 500kΩ and for the single coil 250kΩ. Thanx a lot

[bigredsound]

Great explanation. Do you have more of these kind of videos?

[vileguile4]

This was so awesomely good!! So much info, very good reference when head gets full :) I had no idea the pots could vary that much. That must be one of the reasons why the same guitar model from a manufacturer can sound different from another. Thanks for the video!!

[tubaeli93]

if tone pots are linear can you put a volume pot in its place to have a more even response?

earth looks small i remember is being bigger

[bluecrow00]

can any humbucker pickup be used on series/paralel fashion to use them with a coil tapping potenciometer for a humbucker/single coil sound?. more specific I have a epiphone sg custom (3 humbucker) and I want to swap pickups for gibsons, 57 classic on the neck, 57 classic plus on the middle and angus young on the bridge but using coil tapping potenciometers to get the single coil/humbucker change. is that posible?

Thumbs up if you dissected your guitar after watching this

[rockexpert]

My George Lynch Seymour Duncan pickup on my BC rich has a weird problem where the high e has less volume to it even though i do not differ my picking and it is really noticeable when i try to do sweeps it is only 1 pickup that does this any suggestions?

[goliathcombatwalker]

@rockexpert Maybe your pickup is growing old?

[enorma29]

where can i study a major in guitar luthiery? XD

[ImpartialCrowd]

You are a GENIUS!

[FlankinspanK]

Fuuuuuuuuckkkk

[OptimusPrime712]

Holy Crap. Slow down please.

[fireicer]

Credit where its due that was an excellent video nice one, think you answered my question without even knowing it in your animation. I got confused as to the convention used for humbuckers mainly Seymour Duncan as there diagrams were labeled north start north finish south start south finish which made me scratch my head how that worked. if i got it right north start and finish is one coil(north side of magnet and south start finish is the second coil, the coil on south side of the magnet

[Emceetem]

It's not much info guys...He's not filling your head with chemistry equations neither is he filling your head with einstein theories.

It's just telling you how things work and why they work in the way they do.

I'm 17 if your an older guitarist and having trouble with this. Drop that guitar and send it to me.

[retard2505]

i feel stupid right know hahahaha

[Slushplop]

genius:)

[Feet4hands]

That was great. I learnt more in 5 minutes watching this vid' than I did in 5 years of Physics at school! (almost)

[francoprs]

Excellent information. Thanks!

[shaindaman13]

I wish some one would post a video on a double neck guitar wiring. I have an EDS 1275 and no idea how to wire it correctly. I challenge anyone to find any help for this online other than 1 useless black and white schematic.

[chewychewy1213]

I just finished taking a lot of electrical fundamentals courses. This makes a lof of sense in terms of doing things in series and parallel. I guess it just kinda depends on the sound that you are going for. This was so helpful thanks for the video. I just finished doing a set of 4 lightbulbs (Loads) that you can flip a switch and make them run in series and parallel when you close the SSU. Using like 4 contactors. I wonder if there is a way that you could make a guitar do something similar.

[TheDragonMF]

make a vid how to make humbucker pick up please xD

[Ketyar]

This is coming soon I believe in 2-3 months.....

[BtoZproductions]

Excellent Video!!

[DeathXMetalXCraze]

I'm just trying to figure out how to fix my guitar, i don't need this stuff...sigh*

[electricchaos]

Why don't you stop complaining and read this and try to learn 'why' you're guitar isn't working ? Or would you rather pay someone to do it for you?

[DeathXMetalXCraze]

hey hey, no need to be an asshole, this stuff is a bit hard for me to understand, thanks to a friend I already fixed my guitar.

[foxman123456789]

thank you now i under stand the pick uops in the guitar and the wireing prses i have to go through to mak emy hand built guitar work

[twenkmcwanzer]

This really helps understand the subject - thanks.

[kenedy626]

brilliant first time in my life i can understand electrics and i am not even a guitar builder

[CtwoHfive0H]

Awesome animation
