OK, a while back I ordered all the stuff to put thumbwheel controls on
my pickguard. I had a picture of how the whole damn thing works and
how it was wired but it got lost on my last computer.
Does anybody have a schematic, instructions on how to mount & wire the
thumbwheels?
There's just no way I can see spending the money for the setup from
Archtop.com when it's just some simple parts. Hopefully somebody will
share I I won't have to reinvent the (thumb)wheel.
Thanks

The lesson I learned last time we had this discussion on this NG is that since
the pot is glued to the bottom of the pickguard, keep in mind which way the
pot will turn. In particular, if you use an "audio taper" pot for the tone
control, then you should be prepared to have the "roll off treble" direction
to be *clockwise* when viewed from the top of the guitar.
