FORGIVE ME: I also posted this at Guitar Schematics section:
HELP!
I need help wiring an old 22 pole Carvin M22. It's the old 3-Wire + Shield pickup (white, black, red, and shield. I have seen the Carvin wiring sheet where they show FOUR wires!)
Only one of these (at the bridge). [Neck is an old Epiphone humbucker (two wire: hot + grnd)].
This is a homemade guitar. This has two volume, two tone, one 3-position toggle.
It works, BUT........
Almost no diff b/w bridge, neck, or both, when switching between the HBs.
Sounds like I have tone turned down on both. Soft, almost muffled.
Neck is a tad cleaner; bridge is a little more distorted (like old Dimarzios)........Think Big Muff sound, but on both pups.
I will admit: sustain is excellent!
But, switching to bridge does NOT "brighten up". No high end at all.
I had these Carvins in a Guild S100 and the worked fine...but the luthier who put my Guild pups back in that S100 did NOT make note of the M22 wiring.
So, I am lost.
