I have a SLSMG that is being polished as I speak(At the Guitar shop,it WAS Satin black,) and someone who had it before me hacked up the wiring for EMG's. I am bringing her back to her "Passive pickup"days.She will be loaded with Duncan Distortions. I just bought a New harness/Pots and I NEED someone who can take a Pic of the inside cavity PLEASE!! I am trying to figure out which terminals are used in the input jack,and which grounds go where(One comes from inside the body,and I guess another ground goes to the "Tab" that screws onto the body as well) ANY help would be appreciated!!

They are only doing a polish. I saved money by removing everything on the body.It ORIGINALLY came with passive EMG's,but someone installed active EMG's and hacked it up really bad,,,enough to short the EMG 81. The wiring was terrible,with cuts,Crushed wires,bad solder joints,etc.I sold the EMG's including the wiring harness,and I am going back to passive. The link really doesnt help because I need to see where the grounds to the body go to(on a passive setup) and which terminals are used on the input jack.(Since he had soldered to 3 points on the jack)HIGHLY MODDED Peavey Ultra Plus 120

I have one wire from One to the Bridge post(The wire coming out of the hole)to the cavity,and another point that screws into the body with alittle ring terminal. Thats what kinda throwing me off. The Input jack I have,well has 3 points to solder on(All 3 were used),hence why I wanted a pic. I have that same pic(Of the link) and thats how I was going to wire up the P/U's to the new 3 way switch. Like I said,the wiring was shot,so it went with the 25k pots. Some people should NOT be around a soldering pencil/iron/gunHIGHLY MODDED Peavey Ultra Plus 120

I'm not sure which 2 of the 3 terminals on the jack you will need. The ground terminal is easy to spot, it's part of the ring you put your 1/4 input into. Between the other two, I'm not sure which is positive/hot and which is the one you won't use. You can get a new Jack with 2 terminals for a few bucks. Or you could just experiment.

Well I just got it back today and WOW!!! Now All I need to do is figure out the wiring,and string her up!! The ONLY Gripe I have is that I didnt remove the string ferrules/bushings(He didnt remove them either) and well ,now they are Polished (I was trying to save money) I'd like to get another set,and sometime down the road change them out.I tried touch up paint,and it didnt stick. I am kinda stumped on the Input terminals(Hence why I was hoping on a pic ) because it isnt like a regular terminal.It has a long plasic barrel. Please people,,,its ONLY 4 Screws!!HIGHLY MODDED Peavey Ultra Plus 120
