The question is unclear. Are you looking for a schematic for a Fender triple neck steel guitar? If not, what make and model do you have?
http://www.juststeelguitar.com/pickups.html has various schematics that might be helpful.

Hi, yes the model is a Fender triple neck custom model with the 3 legs im, afraid that is all i know it as, and the book states the same, i purchased this on good ol,e e,bay about 3yrs ago in a very poor condition,iv,e had it all refinished,re chromed to all the metal parts and reassembled, the only problem i have is the wiring up.hopeing some one will know, the big problem is over here in the u.k.there seems to be a very little following for steel guitar.
thanks.

That is the model with the trapezoid pickups, right?
I have restored one and have a diagram of the
original hook up.
The tone cap is .05 mfd.
The original tone control is 300K, linear.
(The pots were not marked but the tone measured
292K.)
You have two switches, one is a toggle which turns
on all three pickups.
The second is a lever which will select the pickups one at a time.
D.C. Resistance of the pickups: 11.8K.
If this sounds like your guitar, I'll send you
a copy of my diagram. |

Mike, I neutered (eliminated the electronics) of my Fender Triple Neck Custom when I thought it was obsolete and was converting it to a coffee table. I bought it new in 1949, and it is now owned by a responsible player in Texas. I wish I still had it and could display it in my current den.
The value of these old instruments is what they are worth to the buyer. So, if you are happy owning it, you have made a good transaction.

I think my Fender Custom diagram is a bit crude to post here.
However, I've sent it to Mike and another player.
The Custom is wired differently from a "Stringmaster" in that it has only one pickup per neck and the volume control is connected as a rheostat which shorts the the signal to ground.
The diagram from Crowbear and Brad of the Stringmaster shows the volume control connected
as a potentiometer, which is a much better arrangement.
The toggle switch and neck selector switch wiring is the same.
Tone control on the T8 I had was 250 K.
If it was my guitar, unless I wanted to be historically accurate, I'd wire the volume and tone
like the stringmaster. |

Mike,
I got your last e mail sent via the Forum. Maybe Verizon has had some international problems or I could have made a mistake on the one I sent you.
So, I've sent you an alternate e mail address which should work OK.

Hi Guys,
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I too would love a copy of the wiring diagram for a Custom Triple neck (1 Trapezoid pickup per neck, 3 way selector switch and toggle switch for all necks)
If someone could post or Email it I'd be very grateful.
Thanks |
