LP Tribute refinish, take 2...

I put the Wolfetone back in the bridge, neck pickup is a dummy for now, I don't have a double black neck pickup I like enough to wire up.

I just couldn't deal with the zebras in black rings, IMO they don't look right in black rings. I like the Wolfetone well enough, it's my second favorite pickup. And this allowed me to put my favorite knobs back on it. I'll get a neck pickup eventually, but I'm in no hurry, other than my Tele I barely use a neck pickup anyway.
 
I'm pretty sure I talked about this here before. Do any of y'all remember me talking about this guitar being cursed before?? I said I've rewired it countless times and it'll play for a while and then it just dies? Well, I was playing it last night after I swapped the pickups and it was fine, I put it away and haven't touched it until just now and guess what?....it's dead as a door nail. The curse lives on. :BH:

I think this is the last straw, I'm tired of stressing over this guitar..I think it's time to just get rid of it and chalk it up to experience. I'll get it working again, I always do, then I'll just take it up to GC and take whatever they'll give me for it before it dies again. Maybe someone else will have better luck with it.

I had a jack in a Telecaster that would do that just often enough to drive me nuts.

It's not one thing, I've completely rewired this guitar many times with all new components and wires and something always dies after just a short time. This time I do suspect the jack because when I wiggled the wired to the jack it went from silent to a hiss. I'll work on it after I get over being pissed at it.
 
It's a bad volume pot. And that's not on RS, I forgot that I swapped the volume pot for a 330k, I didn't think I did that on this one. I put a 330k volume pot on all my bridge volumes, but I seriously don't even remember doing it on this one. That's how bad my anxiety was at the time I wired it, I forget things that happen when it's going on.

Anyway, I've been using Guitarfetish for my 330k pots forever, but they have gone to shit lately. I guess I'm going to have to make my own. I have a good CTS pot that I modified from 500k to 400k, I also forgot all about that. I'll swap it for that one as soon as I locate it.

Right now I just jumpered the bridge pickup to the neck volume and have been playing it. Maybe I'm not giving up on it just yet. Hope y'all know I was just venting last night. :victoire: I just couldn't believe it died after one jam.
