  • wiring diagram + 'tone'pot for jackson fusion

    my jackson fusion usa, serial # 134 (grey-black snakeprint, original floyd) has a problem with the tone pot (which is not a regular tone pot with works as a kind of filter/wah-effect).
    it has a heavy point and creaks, so i want to replace it, preferably with the original type of pot.
    does anyone have a diagram, or do you know to whom i should write to, to get the daigram and a new pot
    i have been trying to get the pot through several guitar shops in the netherlands, but sofar without succes.
    i really love this workhorse guitar, and i use it all the time, so it would be nice to have fully operational with the tone/filter circuit again.
    thank you for your help

    If it is a JE-1500 in those you can find the diagram at Henrik's site...

        Spray the inside with some electronics cleaner and work it back and forth that should fix the problem.
        Really? well screw Mark Twain.

          that was the first thing i tried, straycat
          alas, without succes
          the pot is probably - due to heavy and prolonged usage, after all it is an '80's axe - just past it's lifecycle and needs replacement

          but thanks for the advise !

            is it the tone pot that's bad? or the volume pot that is attached to the circuit board thing???

              I'm pretty sure it's the actual "tone" pot. You can use a 25K ohm pot or even a 250K ohm pot, it will work in that circuit.

                According to the wiring diagram is a duel (sic) 50k linear pot. (non audio taper)

                To spray it with cleaner you'd have to make sure you hit both ganged pots. Blowing clener up the shaft will likely only affect the top one of the two.
