Major help needed with mustang wiring!!!

Post by Vscrl1 » Sat Jun 17, 2017 6:45 pm

So I bought one of the new Squier bullet mustangs and put a mustang pickguard on it and bought a dimarzio air norton s and a dimarzio tone zone s for it. I can't for the life of me figure out how to wire it. I installed the mustang switches (no clue if they are on/off/on or on/on/on). Id like to have each pickup wired for humbucker/off/coil tap. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

Ok so I got the wiring figured out, but now I have a ground issue when both pickups are switched off. Any ideas?

As in, buzzing badly, or no signal at all?

It's weird. When I'm on the clean channel on my amp, you can hear the strings slightly but with a slight buzz, on the gain channel, you can hear the strings pretty well and the buzz is more noticeable. This is with both pickups switched off. I'll try and post some pics of the wiring. It's not the prettiest just to forewarn lol

did you wire the ground correctly onto the pot? is the jack input wires backwards when soldered?
