Title: Wiring Help
Post by: Dazza1004 on November 04, 2007, 10:09:57 PM

My attempt at wiring my 2 Holydivers into my strat has failed miserably. All I have is a load of buzzing, can someone please take a look at my pic below and tell me where I have gone wrong.

In the neck only and bridge only positions I can just about hear the  strings but the buzzing is real bad.
In the middle pos all I can hear is the buzzing.

I was going for a straight forward neck, neck and bridge, bridge config with the 3 way switch with 1 vol and 1 tone.

All help appreciated

sorry but I realise the pic is a little hard to follow.

The bit I am having trouble with is the 3 way switch, I have a couple of wiring diagrams but they are not specific enough for me to figure out what to wire where for the as there are 4 inner and 4 outer lugs to wire to.

Does anyone have a photo or something idot proof

Many thanks

Try this one, except with:

* Red leads to the selector switch from your BKPs
* Black and bares to ground on the back of the volume pot
* Green and whites for each pickup joined together and taped off

(You will need a different diagram if you want to split the coils in the middle position...)
