1/6/2023 0 Comments Teisco del rey guitar partsThoughts, comments? I'm wondering if I replaced the switches if Id be able to do anything else with it ie could it be wired so that the pups were hum canceling when both on? I'm assuming that that would be series and they are currently wired in parallel. I'm thinking that since the neck pickup has a slightly higher resistance I should actually put it in the bridge position? I'd like to know what you guys might recommend as replacement cap and pot values. These pots do work they were a little scratchy working them a bit seemed to get rid of that a few years ago I could spray them with some pot cleaner and I would think they'd work fine but I'm not attached to them in any way I'd like to keep the guitar for sentimental reasons I have no illusions that it's worth anything I'd like it to sound halfway decent if possible. The sound is quite nice despite this, and this guitar could be a nice garage rocker with some TLC.So the schematic shows that Both the volume and tone pots should be 500k I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at should the cap be where it is between the pots or should it be somewhere between the tone pot and the input? The switches seem to be malfunctioning, however, with one switch possibly being a tone switch and the other not working at all. Electronics are semi-functional, with both pickups passing tone and both knobs working but a little crackly. Frets are low but playable in the low positions. It will need a shim to fix the high action toward the 12th fret and higher. Neck is decently straight but has sunk quite a bit. Lots of bumps, dings, and scratches throughout, including on the back of the neck. Back of headstock has two screws in it as well, likely from the same repair. Repair is ugly but seems stable under finger pressure. Some cracks go into wood and appear to be a repaired break. Please read further for a full disclosure of the product's condition. Due to its condition, this item is presented as is.
