Hopefully this will be a long running collection of easy to view diagrams of CBG picup wiring. If you have a NEW or unique diagram please post it here. PLEASE, if you reply to a post with a picture already in it, please remove the pic as to not duplicate the original. Saves electrons that way [he he]

I'll go first.

On the subject of serial versus parallel, I prefer prallel. Serial adds the impedance (bad) and parallel divides the impedance (good).

Just in case you are wondering...

Thanks Wes for the information.
Great info for starters, thanks
Thanks Wes, very simple but super useful info for us novice electricians. Well done and easy to read too.
Here's my contribution:

How about Piezo/Jack/Vol./Tone?
Wes Yates said:

Does the second piezo increase the output at all, or is it just there so you can mix sound from two locations?
David,

When you put the piezos in serial it will double the impedance which potentially will reduce the output. Putting them in parallel* will divide the impedance, thus potentially allow more output.

You can also use this to mix the 'sound' from the individual piezos assuming there is a difference.

* See the parallel diagram at the top of the page.

so about that piezo/volume/TONE/Jack diagram?
