Can't Find ASAT Blues Boy Bluesboy Wiring Diagrams Schematic

Post by jorwesflow »

I have searched far and wide, high and low, and I can't find my exact Blues Boy wiring diagram or schematic anywhere (Serial CLF24796). I'm trying to replace the input jack (which is a challenge in and of itself..thank goodness for that awesome tutorial on how to do it). I unsoldered a few of the wires, and now i can't remember how to put it back the way i found it...

All I have found are similar ASAT model diagrams, but not the Blues Boy. Everything I see in these diagrams does not look like what I see inside the the Blues Boy:

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find it.

Thanks.

Hi,

See this in our Gallery: Album: ASAT Classic Bluesboy Picture Diagrams.

Hope this helps.

Guess I'm late coming to the party, but I have two US-built Bluesboys (2007/8, 2011)that are wired slightly differently from the diagram.

First of all, the tone caps are 0.022 µf values. The tone pots are also wired differently, with the tone pot lug across from the input lug on the volume pot (white wire coming from the switch) grounded to the pot casing. Then, the tone cap connects the two remaining lugs on the tone pot, with the outer lug connected to the volume pot input (white wire from the switch).

Also, the shield from the neck pickup is soldered on the switch casing, with a black jumper from the switch to the back of the volume pot.

One last thing the older one has CTS pots, while the newer one has Alpha pots.
