Help, screwed up my new to me Charvel Model 5

[Mjones]

Picked up a very nice condition white model 5 with the kahler. The only problem was a frozen tone control, so I like an idiot proceeded to remove all the electronics and now of course even with my crappy pictures and diagrams can not figure out how to put it back together. Almost ready to scrap it all and put a EMG 81/85 solderless system in but, really wanted to keep it stock.

Can someone please point me to wiring diagrams, close up clear pictures of what solders to what especially on that 5 way switch that really has me messed up.

Think I will love this thing once I get it all back together and working right.

Thanks

Wait a minute buddy haha! No they arediffrent but they do have a heap of wiring diagrams. You should be able to workout the colour coding on your pickup from the old wiring. Is it HS with 1 volume and a 5way?

[Mjones]

No, is the HH with 1 vol, 1 tone, and 1 mid boost, Thanks

[Mjones]

PS, And 1 5way

The Duncan site has a chart that shows wire colour coding for different brands. Very handy for when you're swapping pickups. But for your use, just cross out the SD colours on the wiring diagram & mark it up with the equivalent Jackson colours

here it is:

[Mjones]

there is a white wire coming from the middle tone pot, where does it go, I can't find that in diagrams?

[VitaminG]

coming from where? A lug, in which case, which lug? Or from the back of the pot?

You may be able to figure it out from the pics in this listing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jackson-Char...-/141160364483 Alienxnation is an asshole, but at least he may be good for something

He will send you a bill for looking at those pictures.
