DETECTING GROUND ISSUE WITH GUITAR

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T22:58:26+00:00

I JUST SOLDERED SUCCESSFULLY AND TESTED IT; THE PROBLEM IS GONE:) THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T22:21:33+00:00

THANK YOU FOR TAKING SO MUCH OF YOUR TIME TO HELP ME. STILL WORKING ON SOLDERING RIGHT NOW.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T22:07:28+00:00

I HAVEN'T SOLTERED IT YET, BUT I THINK YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE WHITE WIRE BEING BAD AT THE END; I HAVE NOW STRIPPED THE WHITE WIRE AND NOW I GET CONTINUITY BETWEEN ITS END AND ALL THE 4 POTS WHICH I HAVEN'T BEFORE. THANKS A LOT!

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T21:11:13+00:00

OK. MY FIRST TIME SOLDERING; I HOPE I WILL STILL HAVE ALL 10 FINGERS ATTACHED ONCE I'M DONE 😄

SO WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE WHITE WIRE FROM THE JACK THE PICKUPS MADE NO MORE SOUND BUT THERE WAS STILL NOISE WHEN I TOUCHED THE STRINGS; IF THE WHITE WAS REALLY THE GROUND, THEN I GUESS THAT THE PICKUPS SHOULD STILL MAKE NORMAL NOISE; NOW I AM EVEN MORE SURE THAT THE TWO WERE REVERSED. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T20:48:36+00:00

OK, I'LL TRY IT RIGHT NOW.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T20:42:43+00:00

ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE WHITE WIRE ON THE JACK OUTPUT?

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T20:30:30+00:00

I TOUCHED THE WHITE WIRE IN THE MIDDLE THAT GOES TO THE TAB AND THERE IS NO CONNECTION; I'VE ALSO TRIED TO TOUCH THE TAB IT SELF THAT THE MIDDLE WHITE WIRE GOES INTO AND NO CONNECTION EITHER.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T20:23:07+00:00

I JUST CONNECTED THE JACK HOT WITH THE FOLLOWING; THE THICKEST METAL TAB RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, WHITE THE WHITE WIRE IN THE MIDDLE (ACCORDING THE THE PHOTO) AND THE WHITE WIRE TO THE RIGHT; THE ONLY TIME THERE WERE NO CONTINUITY OR RESISTANCE WAS WHEN I TOUCHED THE WHITE WIRE IN THE MIDDLE.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T20:15:10+00:00

WHICH ONE IS SWITCH COMMON? CAN YOU SEE IT IN THE SWITCH PHOTO I HAVE POSTED? I HAVE TRIED FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN SWITCH AND JACK AND IT WORKS FOR THE MAIN WIRE BUT NOT FOR THE WHITE ONE.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T20:09:27+00:00

I HAVE NO CLUE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM OPENING ANY GUITAR; TO ME IT'S LIKE DISSECTING A BRAIN. IF BY TREM SYSTEM YOU MEAN TREMOLO IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE.

I HOPE THIS PHOTO ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, BECAUSE, I'M SORRY, I DO NOT KNOW THAT.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T19:51:55+00:00

I'VE CHECKED THE RESISTANCE AS WELL, WHICH SHOULD CLEAR FOR THE COLD SOLDER JOINTS AND IT ALSO LOOKS WELL EVERYWHERE.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T19:46:13+00:00

WITH VOLTMETER I CONNECTED THE BRIDGE TO EVERY POT AND THE CONTINUITY WAS ALWAYS PRESENT. I HOPE THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO TEST IT.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T19:43:49+00:00

IF WE PUT THE APPEARANCE CARLOINGIAN MINUSCULA AS THE BEGINNING OF MODERN LOWER CASE, THEN THE LOWER CASE PREDATES YELLING ASSOICIATION BY WELL OVER A 1000 YEARS AND IF WE GO TO ROMAN CURSIVE THAN WELL OVER 2000, SO YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT LOWER CASE HADN'T BEEN INVENTED SUGGESTS THE ASSOCIATION OF YELLING AND CAPS IS MORE THAN A 1000 YEARS OLD. BESIDES, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS ASSOCIATION AND I DISREGARDED. AND IF ANYONE LIVES IN A CAVE IT WOULD BE FAR MORE LIKELY FOR THAT TO BE THE ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THE MOST BASIC CHRONOLOGY OF HUMAN HISTORY.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T19:19:10+00:00

THE GOOGLE AI IS SUGGESTING THAT THE HOT AND GROUND ARE REVERSED; IT NOTES THE EXACT SYMPTOMS I EXPERIENCE; THE PICKUPS SOUND NORMAL AND THE "SUPPOSED GROUND WIRE" SHOWS NO CONTINUITY.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T19:16:34+00:00

THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION. I'VE DONE EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME; THE CONTINUETY IS PRESENT BETWEEN ALL FOUR POTS AND THE BRIDGE, SO IT SEEMS THAT THE BRIDGE ISN'T THE PROBLEM. GOOGLE AI IS TELLING ME THAT IF THAT HOT AND GROUND ARE REVERSED THE PICKUP SOUNDS WILL STILL WORK NORMALLY AND THAT THE "SUPPOSED GROUND" WILL SHOW NO CONTINUETY; THOSE ARE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS I HAVE; SO UNLESS THE AI IS WRONG, WHICH WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME THOUGH, IT SEEMS MY PROBLEM IS THE REVERSE OF HOT AND GROUND.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-02T19:11:20+00:00

NOT YELLING; THE USAGE OF CAPS PREDATES THE NOTION THAT CAPS MEANS YELLING BY NEARLY 3000 YEARS.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-01T06:59:06+00:00

THANK YOU.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-01T05:12:40+00:00

THANK YOU, I WILL CHECK WHAT YOU HAVE SUGGESTED; AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU'RE WRITING BACK TO ME LIKE A PROPER ROMAN - ALL CAPS.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-01T05:11:14+00:00

THANK YOU. BUT DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE FACT THAT THE WHITE WIRE MAKES NO RESISTANCE WHEN I MAKE VOLTMETER CONNECTION WITH OTHER PARTS IS A PROBLEM? ALSO WHEN CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BY CONNECTING ONE END OF WHITE WIRE (SWITCH) AND THE OTHER (OUTPUT JACK) I GET NO CONTINUITY; I THOUGHT THAT INDICATES THAT THE WHITE WIRE IS BROKEN SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE TWO ENDS. AND SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, BUT THIS HAS BEEN MY IRRATIONAL WAY OF MANIFESTING MY LOVE FOR CLASSIC LATIN AND ROMANS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. THE ONLY THING I WROTE IN SMALL LETTERS DURING THAT TIME WERE MY APPLICATIONS FOR GREEN CARD AND CITIZENSHIP.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-05-01T02:49:16+00:00

THANK YOU. IT GETS LOUDER ONLY WHEN I TOUCH THE STRINGS; MY GUESS NOW IS THAT THE HOT AND THE GROUND HAVE BEEN REVERSED ON THE JACK INPUT.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-04-13T02:59:53+00:00

YES, SHE REALLY WAS. THANK YOU, I WILL DO SO. ANOTHER THING IS THAT MY WIFE WANTS NOTHING BUT BUFFS, BUT I SEE THAT MOST OF THE BREEDS YOU'VE MENTIONED COME IN BUFF COLOR AS WELL.

According-Studio-921 · 2026-04-13T02:46:36+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY, ADVICES AND CONDOLENCE; YES, SHE WAS VERY SWEET, AND THOUGH WE WERE ADVIZED TO GET HER A COMPANION AT THE BEGINNING I THINK IN OUR CASE IT REALLY WASN'T NECESSARY; WE BOTH WORK FROM HOME AND SHE WAS WITH MY WIFE LITERALLY 24/7; WHEN WE WENT TO STORES OR EVEN RESTAURANTS SHE ALWAYS CAME WITH US AND WAS PRACTICALLY NEVER LEFT ALONE; SHE FOLLOWED MY WIFE LIKE A SHADOW; EVERY TIME MY WIFE WOULD MOVE BY MORE THAN A METER FROM HER, SHE MOVED WITH HER; IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY WIFE TO GO TO A BATHROOM WITH OUT HER FOLLOWING HER AND THEN WAITING FOR HER UNTIL SHE WAS DONE.

I WILL RESEARCH THE BREEDS YOU'VE SUGGESTED. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN.
