![]() So that's really all there is in regards to my confusion about the diagram. I don't know if that ground terminates at the lug or if there should be a wire coming off that lug that should ground against something else. The only thing tbh that confuses me about the Seymour Duncan schematic is the ground on the toggle. I can solder fine and I understand diagrams to a point. I just wanted to add to this ( and I apologize as I know this isn't rocket science) because my fiance said after reading this thread, that she didn't really think that I was accurately explaining things. Work has been kicking my butt lately so spare time has been limited. Sorry for the delay getting back to this thread. And if I am to follow the Seymour Duncan schematic then I am STILL at a loss as to where to run the ground. If you compare my drawing to the Seymour Duncan schematic, you can see that they are completely different. If my drawing makes sense and appears logical/ safe, then I'm happy to proceed, but if I am to follow the Duo Sonic wiring diagram, then I'm afraid it's going to result in a lot more work as well as the potential for it to be wrong ( since I think that there is some difference between the way that the original DS was wired as opposed to the DS reissue. The drawing below is how this toggle switch was wired up when I opened this thing up. ![]() I went ahead and drew up a crude sketch in terms of what I'm talking about. only stuff regarding the original Duo Sonic, which I'm having a hard time understanding. This is the thing: I can't find any Duo Sonic Reissue schematics. I also opened up some of my guitars but couldn't find definitive resolve. I've studied up on the tele schematics and on the grounding tutorial, but I guess I'm still not 100% sure how to proceed. The fly in the ointment is this damn toggle switch. ![]() because for the most part I think I have it figured out. I think that's what is making this so frustrating. I'm going to read up on this and try to figure out just exactly how to go about re-doing all this.įWIW- I've got new pots, cap, switch, jack, pickups and 22g wire that will completely replace all the old wiring and components.īelow is the SD schematic that I found but I don't quite understand all of it. but I'll never learn if I don't ask so I'm trying lol. Also in the SD schematic it looks like the toggle switch is grounded but I'm not sure if that means that there should be a ground wire coming off the switch to something else or what? Yes I know I am pretty dumb about all this. I just am not at all familiar with electronic schematics. Also the cap is wired to the vol pot but in a Seymour Duncan schematic drawing, it looks like the cap is wired to the tone pot. But from what I'm trying to understand, it sounds like you're saying that that's unnecessary. Not sure if that is factory or re-done by previous owner. This guitar has been routed so that the ground wire terminates against the underside of the bridge plate. Has there been an Esquire Duo-Sonic? That might be kind of cool even if done for a short term experiment.The pot with the tab soldered to itself is the tone pot but I'm guessing that the advice still stands. I can fake a real neck pickup by using the n position and turning the tone knob down. I lowered the pickup and raised the screw poles for more tonal separation. Or you could even do like I did with my Tele and install a 4-way to handle both bobbins of the bridge pickup and have no neck pickup. Or do the push/pull coil split and a 4-way Tele blade switch for an extra series option that with HS you'd have three coils in series if you wanted, a parallel option, and single neck or bridge.Ī 3-way blade for n, n+b, b selection and then have a small 3-way on/on/on toggle you can wire the humbucker to output parallel/single/series. And if you do that you can put an Armstrong Blender on it (stacked dual concentric tone knob) so you can blend between SSS and HSH. If you consider your HS as three separate coils you can wire it like an SSS Strat 5-way.
