Help with my strat Wiring??

Post by JordanD »

Hey guys. You may remember the strat that Mike gave to me about a year ago now.

I recently changed the pickguard to an SSS one and installed a SD JBjr in the bridge position.

Now I have a problem. When I had a full size humbucker in the bridge position everything worked fine but it wasn't the sound I was after so I opted for the duncan JB. The JB sounds cool and works fine but now I have no signal from my neck pickup and my middle pickup sounds really thin and crappy. I didn't touch ANY wires apart from the old humbucker, new humbucker and the wires going to the output jack.

I want this to become my main guitar because the fender single coils are awesome and it's got the hum for when I need it so if you have any idea what's going on, please feel free to let me know.

Can't suggest anything but you double-check it.

Will do. Im gonna open it up again and wire it without the two tone pots and have just an overall tone anyways.. Hopefully that will take some of the top end out of the JB. It's really trebly at the moment.

I had one. Wish I still had it. It was awesome but you can't deny the value of a fucking good strat.
