Wiring My Guitar

Hi Guys and Gals. I need some Help. I am building a guitar and dont know how to wire it up. I have a Bare Nuckles Pickups Black dog, 2 BKP Slowhands, A Standard 5 Way Switch, A Fender S-1 Volume, which I want to use as a coil tap, and a Fender TBX Control. Does anyone know how to wire this and if so could you do me a diagram? Cheers for reading if not.

Not to be harsh, but you're asking for a lot. That's a custom wiring diagram that someone will have to sit and design for you. Have a look on the Seymour Duncan site - they've got some decent diagrams there.

Pretty sure a modified version of this is what you'd want:

I've heard of the S-1 and TBX pots but I'm not familiar with them. I might be able to give you a hand modifying the schematic above.

If you learn how to design and wire guitars yourself, you'll be proud and it's a skill you won't forget. Plus you can start charging for your services and make some money!

Seeing as you've got BKPs, I'd recommend asking this question on the Bare Knuckle forum, lots of experienced users and luthiers there who can give you diagrams and help.

yehhhhh, unfortunately, you're just gonna have to sit down and figure it out looking at the diagram for the switch and pickups, and draw it out yrself. It's all about signal flow! I was in the same boat as you when I redid my guitar. It's not that bad/difficult, just time-intensive since it's yr first time, and you'll feel smart and accomplished once you get it down. Gotta check out BKPs some more though.

S-1 is kind of overkill if all you want is a coiltap. A push-pull or push-push is a bit simpler. Stumac and Seymour Duncan sites have examples that are close but will take a bit of improv. I think you could possibly benefit from the Fender "super switch" too.

The TBX comes with a diagram that you can easily add to any.
