Lukesteele Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Can anyone tell me why when I have my pickup selector set to middle position and I turn down the volume pot on either pickup to zero I get no sound at all even though the other pickup's volume is still up? I've checked the wiring diagram for SG's and it all looks ok. Got me stumped. Thanks in advance. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It's supposed to be like that. If you only want to hear one pickup flip the switch to that one. You can use the volume knobs to blend pickups in the middle position but if you turn either one all the way down it will kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumrnmuzik Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yep, that freaked me out too at the beginning... but that's the way it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the local guitar shop and the guy there was adamant that each pickup should work totally seperately regardless of volume. I owe you a beer DUB-T-123.

Ronnie Robinson Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Seems a little odd that someone who works in a guitar shop does nt know that. Maybe he specialises in Acoustics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 well, they are separate for the most part, except when you are blending them. the same rules don't apply then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Lol! No problem man. So what's up with that dust storm thing? I don't really know anything about it. My sister lives in Cambria (I think that's how it's spelled?) I've really wanted to check Australia out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukesteele Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi Dub, I think you mean she lives in Canberra our national capital. Beats me what's up with those storms. Never seen anything like it. Neighbours loose roofing sheet jumped my 6 foot fence and scratched up my car coz of those high winds we've been having grrrr. He offered to pay for the repair now I gotta run around getting it done. So you never lived in Oz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Nope. I've just lived here in California. My sister moved there because her husband lives there. She works at a zoo. I bet Gibsons are pretty expensive over there. What kinds of guitars do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
