Most of our diagrams don't depict ground wires. Make sure all metal is properly grounded to ensure correct operation.

More information regarding this wiring diagram:

Similar to the Esquire Wiring, the Broadcaster now introduces a Neck pickup as well as a Blender pot for the following positions:

  • Position 1: Bridge Pickup with Blender Pot
  • Position 2: Neck Pickup Only
  • Position 3: Neck Pickup Only with Cap (Dark tone)

The Blender Pot gradually brings in the Neck Pickup for a wide sweep of tonal variation – super cool! For the resistor and capacitor value, we’ve seen a few different values – 15k for the resistor, and 0.05mfd for the capacitor. That said, you can certainly experiment with the capacitor value. 0.05mfd is very dark and to some, unusable in a modern setting. Going with a lower capacitance value will not darken your tone as much and make it more musical.
