Help With Wiring Diagram

Brendan1981 · March 29th, 2008, 02:50 AM

Hi guys, I am new here and this is my first post... I am i the process of making a custom partscaster, but while I am sourcing parts, i've decided to fix a few of my other guitars...

I've owned a Samick Blues Saraceno for a few years now, it is the model with three humbuckers, 1 voume and one push-pull/tone pot...

Now the previous owner has done some mods to it and changed all the wiring around, the middle pickup sounds like crap and none of them are hooked up to the push pull on the tone pot...

I've been searching for a wiring diagram and this is the closest I have come up with, the only thing missing is the push pull tone pot...

Now is there someone who would be able to tell me how to wire the push pull into this setup because I want full functionality of the coil tap feature that I have not been able to use as of yet!

I will endeavour to contact samick and get a proper diagram but if someone know's the answer in the meantime, it would be much appreciated!

Hi Brendan1981,

First off, welcome to TDPRI. I think you will find a great place to hang out.

What kind of pickup combinations do you want? Do you want it "stock" or would you like to do something else with it?

The better the information you give the better help you will get back.

Sorry, I want to return the wiring to "stock" so that i can utilize the coil tap that came on the guitar, on all the pickups if possible... At the moment it is wired up like a strat with no coil tap and a few bad earths...

Only the bridge and neck pickups work porperly, the middle pickup sounds really bad, so I don't know what the previous owner did, but they had no idea what they were doing...

Same model as this...

But the colour of this purple one...

Here is an option for you. It will give you all three pups as humbuckers or all three as single coils.
