Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

Dear Fly Clone friends

A year has passed and the guitar which I rewired with your amazing help is still in operation and working fine

The soldering process was straightforward, the wiring setup worked FIRST TIME and everything went incredibly smoothly.

Thanks again for your help.

What is it about the thread that interests you? For me, the dissemination of knowledge is where it’s at! This thread and these diagrams will continue to help others for years to come! Once I get a working system I will redraw the diagram in a much more professional way for the benefit of those in t...

hey thanks man, couldn't have done without your incredible help

I've been working with guitars for thirty years .... the strangest thing is that when something works the first time --- you doubt yourself. The wiring seems to be working absolutely perfectly............

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

It seems to me that swapping the pickup leads soldered to contacts 2 and 3 would reverse the throw of the switch for this purpose. Of course, the commons used for the tone pot-outs would be affected, as well. After a significant delay I am intending to travel over to my friend's house and do the so...

So swap 5 and 6 too?

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

@monchavo, here are some (crummy) photos of the smaller powerchip and mag/piezo selector switch Being as it’s not clear in the photos: The red/white wires soldered to the top of the board and braided together in the sheath are the mag/piezo stereo output to the appropriate contacts on the jack, wit...

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

Ill have to modify the diagram to reflect the fact that there's a coil tap, and a second tone. :roll: :roll: Looking forward to it. The tone pot needs to have the two left lugs utilized in order to sweep in a right-handed orientation - Your diagram has the far right lug utilized (rather than the le...

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

Two things, @monchavo: 1. The tone pot is wired for a left-handed sweep (which may be what you were referring to in the edit), and 2. The bridge Alumitone in the guitar is different from the Dually referenced in the diagram: The humbucker-sized Alumitone codes are orange =hot, green and white =grou...

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

Are you wanting someone to take the color codes from the Lace page and draw them over one of the HSS diagrams from the Schaller page, then draw another diagram including the Fishman preamp? Because you really do have all the info you need between the two links you posted and the Parker diagrams fro...

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

I have relatively few qualms about qc on Lace sensors. Far more worrying is the actual wiring - which wires go where - I am somewhat baffled as to how to merge the three wiring diagrams to make one which will result in acceptable functioning system.

Re: P-38, Lace Sensors, Piezo, Schaller Switch.

Lastly, I would point out that it's not beyond the pale to suggest to the owner that ignoring the Schaller switch and getting an alpha to reduce the complexity may be worthwhile.

I have a handy diagram which compares the wiring across switch types:
