Hey all,
I have a problem that's been bugging me for over a year now. I have a CIJ '62 RI Fender Jaguar with extensive modifications. Everything's all fine and dandy with the exception of one thing, the claw around the bridge pickup won't ground. I've tried everything, but whenever I anchor my pinky to it while I play, it starts buzzing - hence why I believe I have a ground issue.
It didn't do this before I swapped the original pickup out for a second-hand ebay score, a Seymour Duncan SJAG-2 Hot. I wired it up the same way the old one was but it buzzes. It's gotten to the point where I've tried so many things that there's so much solder connecting the ground wire to the claw that it's impossible to heat up to remove.
Something's wrong. Probably a cold solder joint, but I've tried over and over and over to resolve the issue that I finally think I need some help.
So if you've got a Jag and some spare time, could someone do me a favour and pop the hood and take a clean picture of which bridge and claw wires connect to where? None of the Jaguar wiring diagrams I've found include the claw and its wiring instructions so this would help me immensely as I prepare to wire the Jag back to stock in preparation to sell it.
Thank you, and thanks again.
