Les Paul wiring
Hello, I need help. I am now on my 4 th attempt at wiring my les Paul and failed. I have wired other les Paul's with success but this one is killing me. I have an epiphone that I completely gutted. I installed a new switchcraft switch, new cts 500k pots, and new alnico 2 pro slash pickups. I have attempted to wire it following the 50s style wiring schematic. (my first 3 attempts were with the old pots and switch and I was unable to get any sound). So I got all new parts and rewired 50s style. Now I have sound from both pickups and all 3 switch positions but the volume level is extremely low.
I have gone over the diagram and my setup and I don't see that I miswired anything including all the grounds. Does anyone have a suggestion for why I cannot get any volume out of this rig? Thanks very much |

Re: Les Paul wiring
A picture will really help - that way the wiring gurus can see what you're doing... I'll be doing mine in few weeks and I plan to make a cardboard template and do most of my connections outside the guitar where it's easier access. Then do the final connections in the cavity.
Good luck...
