    Exclamation Rewiring whole guitar (help needed)

    Im planning on rewiring my ltd ec-50,
    im thinking of doing either 2 volume,1 tone,3 way switch or 2 volume,3 way switch wiring,
    how would a JB/Jazz sound with the 2 vol/3 way switch wiring?

    where do u get the wires used for guitar wiring?
    do hardware shops sell em?

    you can pretty much everything you need from allparts.com

    Since you removed the tone knob JB/JAZZ would sound brighter.

    mojo tone has the 4 conductor wire for pickups
    you can also use ethernet cable
    if you have any lying around
    phone cord works well
    I used some old 22 gauge speaker wire I had lying around
    EHD

    Yes using 250K instead of 500K will make them sound warmer. I am not sure if it exactly is going to be like having a tone knob connected.

    Will the JB lose its harmonics because of the "warmness"?

    EDIT: What if i give the "George Lynch wiring" a go? with a 250k push pull
