Y2KV import wiring problem?

[jackhamer]

Hi. So i have a Y2KV import, the US Flag version. The issue i'm having is that the pickups volume bleed together just a little. What i mean is when I have the toggle on the bridge pickup with the bridge pickup volume off and the neck pickup volume all the way up, i can just barely hear the neck pickups output. The same thing happens when it's reversed, switch on neck, neck volume down, bridge volume up, it bleeds over. It's a little annoying knowing that whille i'm playing the bridge pickup, the neck is bleed in a bit. I've checked wiring diagrams and it looks good. I have changed the pickups and the toggle switch, issue is still there. Is this just a side affect of a 2 volume 1 tone guitar? Or maybe something else?
Thanks.

Change the pots.

Sorry, i goofed on the original post and just now edited it after reading Newc's reply. The edit is the 3rd sentence. I had typed "i can just barley hear the bridge pickups output, but i meant "i can just barely hear the neck pickups output. That makes me think that it's not the pots, especially since it did that since i got it new from MF.

Nice.that you have one of these. They are not easy to find.

Sounds like the pot to me too.

Thanks Corpse. They are hard to find info on the net as well. Seems the only info out there is on the USA models. MF had one on clearance way back when so i scooped it up. You really can't beat $199. I figured if i didn't like it, it would look really cool on the wall as a conversation piece. I found a set of sperzels i had laying around, so i'm putting those on it and a set of dunlop strap locks. Time to get this one back in the lineup. I have a tonezone in the bridge and a paf pro in the neck, was thinking of maybe going with the SD's that come in the USA version. Since you're a Y2KV whore, do you know anything else about this import model? I forgot what kind of wood the body is and where it's made. It probably had a sticker on the back of the neck, but i must have taken it off.
So i guess i'll try the pots next. If that doesn't work i could always just leave the tone as a dummy knob, i don't really use it anyway on any of my guitars. Since they share a tone pot i was thinking maybe that is where the bleed is happening.

[Corpsegrinder88]

Man honestly you know more than me on that. I would imagine maybe alder body. But just a guess.

I've been looking for one of these for over a year. Guy here had one few years back but sold it before I made him an offer he couldn't refuse. lol

But if it's not the pot its going to be the switch or maybe a solder.working loose. Rarely it's the pup.


Love to see pics too

Jack, there was only one at $199? When was this? Man, I am gonna obsess over that price now, like I always wish I had a time machine so I could buy real estate in 1995!

Woulda loved to have gotten mine for $199 instead of $750. Sold it before they became rare and only got $550 IIRC

Last one I saw sell on Ebay went for close to $1500
