A diagram showing the wiring of a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Shown are the humbucker pickups with individual tone and volume controls (T and V, respectively), 3-way pickup selector switch, tone capacitors that form a passive low-pass filter, the output jack and connections between those components. The top right shows a modification that ...
The electrical circuit of the pickup is reduced to that of a true single coil so there is no hum canceling effect. Usually, this feature is activated using a miniature toggle switch or a DPDT push-pull switch mounted on a potentiometer. Some guitars (e.g., the Peavey T-60 and the Fender Classic Player Jaguar HH) make use of a variable coil ...
Modern: 1) neck pickup only, with no treble cutoff; 2) neck and bridge; 3) bridge pickup only. The Fender Esquire has a variation to the Vintage wiring scheme by using the scheme on a single pickup. This gives a treble cutoff in the first position, normal in the middle position, and a tone control cutoff in the third position.
An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
This can be detrimental to the final sound because the magnet's pull on the strings (called string capture [5]) can cause problems with intonation as well as damp the strings and reduce sustain. Other high-output pickups have more turns of wire to increase the voltage generated by the string's movement.
The Player Plus noiseless pickups use Alnico V magnets and are hotter than the Vintage Noiseless Alnico II pickups. Fender installs them with 1MΩ pots for both tone and volume controls in the Player Plus guitars. Technical details for these pickups: Flush-mount pole pieces; DC resistance Neck: 10.2–10.4 KΩ; Middle: 10.2–10.4 KΩ
N5: three single-coil pickups, Stephen's Extended Cutaway, five-way blade switch, Volume and Tone controls, maple fretboard; N6: similar to the N5, with L500 Bill Lawrence bridge humbucker; N7: similar to the N4, seven-string variant with a Duncan SH-6 "Distortion" bridge pickup; N8: double-neck version of the N4; N24: N3 reissue
All feature a single humbucker and 1 volume knob. Also in 2011, the Melody Maker Special, a two-pickup model with P-90 pickups, tone and volume controls, and pickup toggle switch mounted on a large vintage-style pick guard was produced.
