Recently i sent my guitar to a music shop for a check-up, i got it back and it sounded better. But they charged me $30 (nz) for like 2 solder jobs. OH well, but today i went to play and there was a fuckin mighty buzz on 3 of the 5 lever settings . I opened her up and checked the wires comming from the lever unit, and one snapped off when i examined it. So im going to solder that back on, and maybe re-solder some of the other connections.
Im not sure if the wiring setups on most guitars are the same, but does anyone know what else could be making it buzz? And if its possible, if anyone has a diagram to see if its all wired up properly would be helpful.

Thanks guys.

take some glue and re-glue it!!!

Great, another useful member!

I wuz just tryin 2 help,,,,

like LoLoL KoRn D00D ur fxxin' hilarious!

anyway...

It sounds kinda like your guitar's wiring is on the fritz. are you having any other problems, such as volume control trouble, or bad tone? i'd just suggest bringing it to a music store to see whats wrong, unless youre a Do-It-Yourself kind of guy...i had a similar problem on one of my guitars and had to get it rewired...costed a good 200 bucks

My advice wuz good! YOu just need 2 glue it really rteally good othurwise it wontt stay wirered together goodly.

Shut the fuck up.

it the wire snapped just resolder it. take some time to practice with the solder iron. here take a look at this : http://www.aaroncake.net/electronics/solder.htm
200 bucks?!?!?! for some shitty wires ? it don't think so .
opeth fan what kind of guitar do you have ?you can find wiring diagrams on the net . just search for them google is your friend. or just ask here. someone might help you

and for you k00rn dood

Hey thanks guys, ill do a search for wiring plans but its made by a small company, they dont even have a site. But yeah thanks anyway, ill just solder what needs to be fixed and im sure it will be alright.

First of all, Korn is gay, and so are you. Second - so my guitar's wiring shits out after 20 odd years, im sure its expected to happen...

yeah, just re-solder it back together and then come back here and tell us if that doesn't fix the problem



i rest my case in saying that people on this forum whos first language is not english, speak english better than 90% of people who DO have english as a first language.

i can see you're going to be extremely well hated. just fuck off before you cause anymore trouble, you tit.

i did my emg myself and it sounds killer no buzz or anything just sauder everything up nice. get some shrink tubing so no wires touch and casue problems and i think you'll be alset.

lmao

Thanks Crispykid, i gotta go get me a soldering iron. And ill see what happens.

everybody's father should have a soldering iron. EVERYBODYS.

Every guitar player should have a soldering iron....

suuuure that's what they all say well, as i said, come back and tell us if your problem isn't fixed by soldering.

YG, I temporarily resurrected my old work avatar after seeing yours. Yours is definitely better though.


Opeth Fan, also let us know if it buzzes all the time or if touching the strings changes the noise. There should be a ground wire contacting your bridge.

Hey dude, yeah i thought it might be grounding in a bad place or somethin coz it has a buzz and stops wen u touch anything metal. Im not too sure where its grounding though...
It works ok on a couple of settings so its all good to play until get a soldering iron.

there's the ground wire that goes to the bridge and the ground wire that goes to the output jack. look into that...
OpethFan how many pickups does your guitar have ? 3 Singlecoils /2 humbuckers / 2 buckers+1 single coil .... depending on that you can search in this pile of info :

Umm it has 3, im pretty sure a double-coil at the bridge and 2 other singles. It has a floyd rose bridge too. Ill have a look at those diagrams, thanks a lot dude. Ill look for a telecaster's wiring coz im sure this is a copy.
Also, (im not sure if its supposed to do this) but i have been practicing soloing and whenever i do a string change (any string) it makes this harmonic ring if a finger is still fretted on the previous string, it sounds like shit and makes the solo impossible to sound real.
So am i supposed to remove the finger off the first string before playing the second one in a lick? (which will take some getting used to). Or is this another problem


Thanks a lot guys, this is really helpful

Ill look for a telecaster's wiring

no problem dude
