Wiring tone pot

nicolas554

The tone pot has never worked on my Mustang (i bought it used a couple of years ago and i don't know what the f*** the original owner did to it), and now i'm selling it, so i'd like to make it to work. Volume pot works of course. I have a little welding kit i think it could do the job. Does anyone can help me, i need to know what wire must go where. And also, what is that green thing welded on the tone pot. Do i have to simply weld the white wire that comes from the volume pot to one of the 3 holes on the tone pot ?

thx a lot for help.

Well i tryed to weld the white wire to the middle hole on the tone pot. When i plugged my guitar, nothing changed, volume worked, but not the tone. Is it because i didn't weld the wire to the right hole on the tone pot ? Or is it because the tone pot might just be dead ?

A second-hand pot would be no real use to anyone. Plus it would sell for like $00.00001

Maybe you should check how it was wired in the first place. Plus, you do realise that tone pots do not make THAT much of a difference depending on what value they are? Maybe you're just tone deaf (no offense intended there 😉 )

Well on my Jagstang the tone does make a differenc IMO. But personally i don't care that it's not working on my Mustang, i never use it anyway, i always leave it on max on my Jagstang. I just thought i would sell my Mustang better if the tone would work on it, unless i fall on a buyer who doesnt care about it....

I'm ALMOST certain he meant he is selling the guitar, not the pot.

Or were you just being satirical, McCon 😛
