Hi all. A customer brought in a nice J6 for general ajustments. He just bought it used and would like to know how the switch/volume/tone control works. We couldn't figure it out. What controls what pickup and so on. I searched th Washburn website but could not find iny info on that. So could any of you inform me on this or point me to where I could get some sort of user's manual of the J6? Thanks! |

looks simple enough to me, from the pic I looked at on Musicains friend .... same as a les paul .. the selector switch should be down for bridge PU, middle both, up is neck PU. The upper two controls should be volume closest to bridge for the neck, behind that is neck tone, the bottom two are then bridge PU volume, and the rear-most is bridge pu tone. If its not,then I would say someone messed with it, or something is broken/faulty |

Thanks Tony. Everything you describe seems to be the case, except for one thing that I feel is kind of weird( although that may be standard, I'm just not that familiar with electrics...): when the switch is in middle position, both volumes seem to act as general volumes (controling both pickups at the same time...). Is that standard? Thanks! |

Yes that will happen, because they are wired in parallel - so when the switch is in the middle .. grounding one volume pot, as in turning the volume to zero, will also ground the other |
