Hi Guys,
I have a 1998 Guild Starfire IV, One of the tone knob pegs recently snapped off. I bought 4x CTS 500K to replace all the pots.
I used the schematic here - http://www.guildguitars.com/resources/wiring_diagrams/Starfire_IV.pdf
Something i noticed is that the wiring in the guitar from stock is different to the schematic. The wire to the switch came off the centre tap of the volume pot and the connection for the pick-up and capacitor went to the left of volume pot.
So that when both pickups were selected, if one was on 0 there would be no output - Can someone shed some light on why this is the case?
Having since resoldered the new pots in. Capacitor to earth from tone on Input to volume pot. I can now adjust the volume independently with both pickups selected. However, I have noticed that now when i adjust the volume on each pickup it appears seems to lose tonal clarity? and not just volume.
I'm very curious as to why guild decided to not followed the schematic in the pdf?
Thanks all for any help,
I'm stumped on this one
