Schematic to diagram conversion?

Post by DGNR8 »

Can anyone answer a foundational question about schematics? Most of my experience is with Fender, so I am more familiar with pictorial wiring diagrams than with schematics, that seem to have a different layout for the parts. As with everything else that is technical, there is a divide between engineering and the rest of us.

Gretsch and Rickenbacker tend to use schematics. I am trying to piece together a Rick 360 12 using a schematic. I think I managed to convert it to a diagram by assigning locations for things according to where they attach to the pickguard. I get the feeling that only three people in the world can fix those brands!

The problem is that I can't tell if I have the left to right order set up when I flip the guard over. I am pretty sure this wiring will make it function, but not sure if it is what Ric intended. Any idea?

Ugh. Tried to solder and couldn't get any sondz. Am giving up and buying a harness. I will make a diagram from it for the sake of humanity. I also burned my finger while soldering!
