[net.audio] Guitar Electronics

gs@mit-eddie.UUCP (Gordon Strong) (08/16/84)

I need some advice from guitar players and/or technicians that
know something about the internals of an electric guitar.

I have a Les Paul-type guitar (two pickups, volume/tone for
each, 3-way pickup selector).  The electronics in it are
totally shot.  The sound is nowhere near what it should be.

I would like someone to send me a parts list and a schematic
(or just instructions) on how to fix this.  I want to totally
re-wire it.  The pickups and the selector switches are the
only parts I am going to keep.  I want to know what values of
potentiometers and capacitors are needed (I know they can
vary).  I also want the correct way to wire it.  This shouldn't
be too hard for someone who knows what he is talking about.

Please reply directly to me since this may or may not be
appropriate for either newsgroup.
