Guys, need help, just built myself this old jaguar:

Image

Issue is, the rhythm circuit works great, neck pickup is really strong. Now, when I disengage the rhythm switch, the lead circuit should take over, however in that case both neck and bridge pickup give a very low output. I triple checked the wiring, cant figure it out, I mean should be either no output at all or working normally but instead both have a very weak output. I'm thinking something with the switches on the lead circuit or perhaps the cap I put in but that cap should only affect the bridge pickup. Any idea?

Any link for the daigram or layout you follow . We must talk about the same .

The cap affect only the tone , not Volume .

1- Your pickups , all the same model ?

2- Do you know how to solder , many kits before or this is your first ?

3- You do some mystake or some parts are defective.

Show some picture inside the guitar , to see wiring

Solved. Not my first built but the Jaguar is a complex wiring. I took the lead circuit plate apart, seems as linking all of the middle lugs on all 3 switches fixed it. Weird some of the diagrams I seen have different variants on wiring these switches.
