For the last Warmoth Regal (LP) I built, I purchased the SD Whole Lotta Humbucker set with the the Jimmy Page Wiring system pre-assembled. I put it all together, but it buzzed like a bitch. I went through all the wiring and realized that the pre-wired harness was done incorrectly (which I found out was a problem with a batch of them). I sent it back and they sent me a new one, but this time I upgraded to the one with the preassembled jack and switch.
Here are my issues now:
1) I get the most horrific buzzing until I touch the guitar. I traced all the ground wires and all the connections appear to be solid. This was a problem with the previous harness that I had as well. When I change the switch selector, it buzzes even louder till I get to the selection, then it goes back to the previous bad buzzing.
2) I can get sound out of the neck and bridge individually, but when I put the switch in the middle, nothing happens. I tried to jump the two together at the switch and still nothing.
I am at a crossroads now. I am totally confused as to what the issues are and frankly, running out of patience with this build and may just farm it out, but I want to know if it is an issue with harness package that I bought so I can get my money back, or at least get it replaced (again).
I used the SD Jimmy Page Style Wiring for push/pull controls that split the two pickups, can out the pickups out of phase (from the bridge tone pot) and put the pickups in series (from the neck tone pot).
I may try and unsolder the switch and use a different to see if the switch is just bad.
Any other suggestions???
