The good and the bad

Recommended Posts

I talked to the store about their repair services.

 

Good:

It can be fixed (duh)

It only takes a day

 

Bad:

 

Their techie is at Namm and won't be back till the 30th

 

They are moving to a slightly more inaccessible location to me.

 

Depending on my schedule, it should be ready by the 20th of Feb....

 

I may try again to fx it before that.

I put a mod Vol. and Tone setup I got from one of my students in one of

my LP's. I had never done it before. Preparation is key. Got all the wiring

diagrams I could find. The SD site had the best. Then I studied the way

it came from the factory so I new where the wires were originally. This

in case I wanted to put it back the way it came. I also read to watch the

heat and not over heat the pots. Well it has to get hot enough to melt

the solder and not ruin the pot. What I did was put the solder gun on the

pot and the solder right beside it so I would know when both were hot enough

It went together like clock work because I new in advance what steps I was going

to take. Good Luck

You haven't seen my last two threads?

 

I already did the mod, and there was no output, only feedback.

 

I took it to a shop today, so that their techie could take a look at it. But ----fill in OP here-----

Draw out a schematic diagram of what you have and post it here so we can go over it. I have all the wiring out of an Epi SG

right now......it should be similar except for the toggle switch in yours is in a different location but should be wired the same.

Thanks for the offers guys, but I don't think it makes sense. I made the original schematic long before I tried anything. I checked and rechecked everything 5 times, its the exact same.

 

Besides, I'd rather not do anything again, at least my way pots etc are salvageable.

 

I'll have her back working in a month...

 

At least I have my acoustic.
