  • New pickup installation, where did I go wrong?

    I swapped out my EMGs for Duncan JB (B) and 59 (N). When I plug it in I get nothing, no cracks, no hum nothing.... I followed this, http://cdn.seymourduncan.com/pdfs/su...s/2h_1v_3w.pdf. But of course the 59 is a single conductor pickup so the outer shield goes to the volume pot and the hot goes to the 3 way. Don't know if you can see anything from the pictures.

    You have the wrong end of the switch grounded ,Offshore switched are opposite of some switchcraft switches .
    The inside 2 lugs soldered to each other are the hot from the jack & the lone lug on the back of the switch is the ground
