Hi everyone , new on here. Been trying a lot to wire a simple humbucker , volume , tone , and 3 way switch . Tried many combinations on the pot lugs  from different online wiring diagrams . But the tone always works only as a volume ? have attached the latest diagram , any thoughts please ?

    You may have a faulty capacitor. Try a new one.

    Can't see your diagram but have a look at the Irongear website. Loads of easy to follow wiring diagrams on there.

    There aren't any diagrams showing.

    I upload them to imgur then insert them here.

    Might be a good idea to upload a photo of your wiring as well in case you haven't followed the diagram properly.

    Maybe best if you don't attempt any re-wiring!

    well here goes again . I am rewiring a Hofner verithin which had all knackered electrics after restoring body damage as well.

    I definitely didn't get an email from you.

    Maybe it would be best to take the guitar to a professional to have it wired up.

    Does it work okay apart from the tone control?

    If so you either have a faulty cap, a faulty pot or you've soldered something to earth that you shouldn't have.

    With respect to your good self, capacitor failure is just one of several fundamental things that could be wrong with the OP's wiring.

    It is pointless attempting to remotely diagnose this electrical problem with no idea of either what the circuit is supposed to be or the manner in which it has gone wrong.

    @hofman123 Please post photographs and/or a link to the schematic circuit diagram that you are attempting to follow.
    Be seeing you.
