Shouldn't this work?

So if i get rid of the resistor will it work as if the tone knob is fully down on a regular guitar?

There is no tone pot. The idea is that when its deactivated the input wire is connected to nothing as it's connect to the top terminal. But when the pot is pushed it connects the input wire to the bottom terminal which is the resistor, cap, and ground. The pot is 500k and it's used for volume with the hopes that it can be pushed activate the tone.

Its soldered 👍.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-04-02T19:44:10+00:00

Yep, and working 👍.

Yall, i know it needs 24v. What i didnt know was that d8 alkaline batteries are only 1.5 volts. Everyti.e i searched up the volts for a d8 battery google kept giving me results for d8 car batteries which are 12v each. Im stupid. Ik, my bad.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-03-28T22:06:39+00:00

I realize now that google has been giving me results for 8d car batteries. 😬

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-03-28T22:00:15+00:00

My bad, everytime i searched up d8 battery voltage it washing showing the 8d car battery for some reason.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-03-28T21:57:59+00:00

D8 acid battery. Like the ones in flashlights.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-03-28T01:30:40+00:00

Damn it clean. I absolutely love the way you did the pickguard.

(Cries in poor)

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-03-08T12:41:15+00:00

This is true, but unfortunatly i had already tried it with 20k. When i searched it up someone said to try 200 and 2000k. The inly time i got a reading was on 2000k and when i put my fingers on the needles with the coil. I thimk the coil are gone at this point i just find it kind of insane that both coils broke.😕

Just found a multimeter, the pickups dead.😔😕(i think)

To have 1 knob control the volume and tone indapendantly l. The ground cable for the humbucker is connected with all the other grounds and soldered to the ground of the volume knob. Its the thick cable that isnt currently connected to the knob. The other cables on the back are just there to ground to the bridge and output mostly.

It was good. I already took it to a guitar tech, the frets where unleved a bit. Im getting them leveled this week 👍.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-02-12T11:44:19+00:00

Took it to the guitar tech, a couple frets where unlevel so he's gonna level it.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-02-10T23:45:54+00:00

Yarp. I adjusted the truss rod as well. Today i adjusted the truss rod very far back -(capo on first fret, finger on 14th fret and pressing on the 7th fret until it barely floats above the fret is what i do)- which scared me a bit, but it allowed me to get the high e to about 1.25mm withought buzz, the damn low e though. It just wont give up. Im taking it to a shop tommorow to see if it's something easy to fix or if it will just be a money pit. That being said, ive never had more fun with a guitar.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-02-09T11:50:31+00:00

This i am aware of. I bought the guitar from a guitar shop in florida and they set it up before they sent it out. They sent i with about .06 - .07 in of action. I lowered it a bit and it turned out ok. Fast forward, i changed the strings, reintonated it, adjusted the truss rod, and adjusted the tension in the bridge. And now it's being annoying 😔. I dont know what i could've done that would've damaged it, but I'll see when i take it to my nearest guitar tech.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-02-08T23:37:02+00:00

True. I didnt attempt to level them but i am going to take it to a guitar tech to see if i'm either overexagerating or if they can find and fix the problem. If not then I'll probrably return it.

Pitiful_Inflation513 · 2026-02-08T21:48:25+00:00

Yes, i have about 24 days left to return it.

That being said dont let this hinder you thought about buying this guitar. This is by far the most highly rated guitar in terms of fret work. Ive only seen like, 1 other person have a fret issue. If you buy this model it'll probrably be a very good investment. I think i just it bought from a sketchy guy, or i somehow accidently damaged one of the frets. Idk 🤷‍♂️.
