594- wire from scratch?

[gauchosilvertone]

Does anyone have a detailed diagram for a McCarty 594?

After an adventurous rewiring experiment (Gretsch wiring with independent volumes and a master volume) I’ve simply reworded or with basic modern LP wiring, but that means I’m missing both the coil taps (which I don’t mind doing without) and the extra capacitors that PRS puts in the circuit...somewhere.

I have all the original parts just need a diagram.

Thanks!

Rule #1 when working in the control cavity...take pictures first!

Try this...

Thanks! I didn’t do the original rewire, shoulda got a pic.

Anyone know what the extra capacitors do exactly? I mean, I know what capacitors do generally but what’s the specific application in this case? Seems extra to me.

Those are resistors and they act as high frequency filters to sweeten/warm the split coil sounds.

Oh hell yes. I ALWAYS snap a pic. I do that on almost everything I work on.

Rad- so those are the little crushed-can looking ones. I wonder how to tell which goes where. There’s no print on them as far as I remember.

You tell the value by the colored stripes printed on them. Or completely lazy-out and use a volt-ohm multimeter.
