Hi...I am trying to copy the circuit on the new Gibson Alvin Lee model guitar. It is a regular 335 config but has an additional single coil (SC) in the middle of the 2 hummers. This SC works INDEPENDENTLY of the other pus. That is, the volume of BOTH hummers can be OFF and I can raise the SC by using the ADDED volume control.
I have routed out my guitar and installed the PU. But...it wont come on unless one of the hummers is turned up...so I have something wrong.
Can someone tell me how to wire this so that it works TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of the other pus?
I have the white lead to the input of the ADDED volume control. The black lead is grounded. Lug 2 of Pot is to the TIP of the guitar jack. I also tried connecting this lug to the middle pos of the toggle switch...no difference. Lug 3 is grounded.
The pu works, but NOT independently. Can someone provide a schematic or tell me where I went 'off'? Thanks!!
