SG HH Wiring: Original Schematic Explained
If you are looking for a cablaggio sg hh Clear and practical, you're in the right place. Here you'll find the diagram, explanations of the connections, and tips for avoiding common mistakes.
Introduction
Questo schema gestisce due humbucker passivi in una disposizione equivalente a quella della Les Paul, ma adattata alle dimensioni strette e allungate dello scasso dell’elettronica della Gibson SG.8
Wiring diagram
Download the SVG diagram and use it as a reference while soldering. The star ground is the central point: all ground wires must converge there.
How to read the diagram
La dotazione comprende due humbucker passivi, quattro potenziometri da logaritmici a stelo corto, due condensatori da e un selettore toggle a 3 vie compatto o ad angolo retto.3 I componenti sono posizionati a stretto contatto nella cavità allungata. Mantenendo i terminali dei potenziometri rivolti verso il basso, i cavi caldi dei pickup si saldano al Terminale 1 dei rispettivi Volumi.4 I Terminali 2 (centrali) portano il segnale al selettore toggle.7 I condensatori connettono fisicamente il Terminale 1 di ciascun Volume al Terminale 2 di ciascun Tono.8
Practical steps
- Prepare the components and check the values of potentiometers and capacitors.
- I soldered the hot wires following the diagram, avoiding unnecessary jumpers.
- Connect all the masses to the indicated star point.
- Check the continuity between the bridge, jack and potentiometer covers with a multimeter.
- Test the instrument and fix any buzzing.
Tips to avoid buzzing
Avoid the ground loopIf the potentiometers are on a common metal shield, do not solder ground wires between their caps. Use an open "C" or "horseshoe" path and connect each ground to the star center. For more information on modifications, see also guitar modification guide.
FAQ
Which potentiometers should I use?
It depends on the pickup: single-coil generally 250k, humbucker 500k, active 25k.
Can I use a different capacitor?
Yes, but the value changes the cutoff frequency of the tone. Higher = darker sound.
