Danelectro U2 - Wiring Diagram

[spartadrive_in]

Hello. I can't find a wiring diagram for the Danelectro U2. I read that the original put the lipsticks in series rather than parallel when you had both selected. I want that one.
Can anyone help?

Thanks!

i dont know how that specific guitar was wired but it wouldnt be difficult to draw up a wiring diagram. But if that guitar has any collector value and is unmodified or you arent confident in your soldering skills you should not rewire it. Assuming it is a master tone and master volume it would go a little something like this.
Key:
---- = wire
/ = variation of switch
> or ^ = connections
o = spacing to put bottom line in right place

ground -> pickup 1 -> pickup 2 -> volume/tone controls -> output
ooooooo^-----/-------^------\-----^

when the /'s are connected it short circuits the pick up, with both connected no sound with neither connected both on. If your switch is a les paul type you are going to have to think of another way because the middle setting will short circuit both.

edit: excuse the crude "diagram" i couldnt be bothered drawing one up properly.

It's not a vintage one. It's one of the late 90s reissues. I am very confident in my soldering skills.

Then I guess I just want a picture of how to toggle into a series connection instead of the usual parallel one. I can wire up the stacked vol/tone pots like any other strat ones I suppose.

It would be helpful to those interested in this wiring that the only way this wiring works is with an on/off/on 3way switch. I can't find an actual guitar toggle that will accomplish this so I purchased an automotive type at Radio Shack which is actually closer to what the original Danos used. Just follow the duo sonic layout on the Seymour Duncan site with the on/off/on switch and you're happenin'.
