I have a Shobud 111 I just got in. the problem is the E9 pickup wiring has a wire loose somewhere.

The C6 neck seems to be ok, but the E9 neck has a wire loose somewhere. I have attached a couple of pictures, with the firs tone being the end plate showing the 3 way toggle switch. Then the 2nd picture showing the wiring mess underneath.

The E9 neck someone put a George E-66 on it and the C6 has an original Shobud. I think they both have 2 wires, and not 3, correct? I know that there is no coil tap on the pups.

CAN ANYONE WALK ME THRU THE PROPER WIRING OF THIS MESS UNDERNEATH. Maybe someone has a wiring schematic for it or they can draw me a diagram ont he proper wiring. Like I said, the C 6 is fine, but I am sure it is all tied into together and should be completely put back together the proper way. I have done some soldering on some of the steels I have gotten in.

So if someone could help me out here I'd appreciate it. My email is

Hey Al...
This was posted awhile back, I think by Ricky Davis.
It shows the coil tap, but I hope it helps.

Yeah, That's Ricky's art work. Yee Haww!! Just ignore the coiltap part, and you are good to go. I'd unsolder that whole mess and re do it from the ground up, then you will KNOW it's right on. Make sure both changers are well grounded, and you should be good to go.

It appears that someone soldered the 2 pickups using a blow torch. Laughing You may even have a dry joint there.

As previously suggested, I would unsolder everything, clean up the switch by removing all excess solder and start again..

Al,

I'm in the process of rebuilding a similar guitar. Here is a photo of it before I stripped everything out of the cabinet. I hope it helps you..it sure helped me!



Good luck,

Lynn

Lynn, That's a great way to run your ground wires. That's the way I like to do it.

What your photo suggests is that you start fresh and rewire the switch and jack. Whoever did the work that you have now wasn't very good. You will also have to be certain that there isn't a phasing problem when both necks are on at the same time...that's an easy fix...but first take a look at the pics Lynn supplied and use those as a template. Nice and simple. Make sure everything is properly grounded all should be well. You might even try hooking the George L directly to the jack first to be certain that it is functioning properly then clean evrything else up. It's a drag to finish all the work to discover that the pickup is faulty. Cheers and good luck.
