LR baggs on godin acousticaster

[cmayer]

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I think that the wire might have been touching components on the preamp, when I removed the cover it was not under it, it was floating around. I just purchased the guitar... I removed the wire and the buzzing seems to have disappeared. Thanks again.

Hi, I have an older acousticaster that has a buzzing issue. I oppenned the preamp and there is a loose wire (yellow) comming off the shield. Any idea where this should be connected? See pictures... Thanks

It's difficult to tell from the picture, but that wire doesn't appear to be part of the original circuit. It looks like the wire was added so that the preamp ground could be tied to the preamp cover for additional shielding. If that was the case, the wire would be redundant.

Does the hum diminish or change if the output jack is touched?

If you go back to a stereo jack, you should be ok.

If you have any trouble, let me know.

Absolutely. Thank You very much!

Hi MariNN,
You will need to use a stereo jack in order to get the preamp to turn on and off when plugged in. The Red wire is the signal lead, which wires to the Tip contact of the jack. The Black is the switch, which wires to the Ring contact on the jack. The shield wires to the Sleeve on the jack.

You can probably get away with a regular electric-guitar-style stereo jack, but if you can find one, a shielded stereo jack would be advisable.

I hope that helps.

Yes it helps. Thank You very much for the reply! The only problem for now is that I'm using a ordinary mono-jack and it works just fine. The battery life on the other hand is too short.... My guess is that preamp does not switch off because the former owner had messed up with the wires and I have to re-solder the jack.
Thanks again!

Output jack

Hello! Can anybody provide me with schematic over output jack? It's messed up on my Godin LR Baggs Acousticaster. It does have three wires soldered - black, red and shield. But I can use an usual jack instead of a stereo jack, as it meant to be in order to switch the batteries off when not used. Or am completely I wrong?

Hi, Im looking for some advice regarding the replacement of the graphic on my acousticaster. Its an old one using two nine volt batteries if that helps. The guitar has a five digit serial number so I cant date it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

As mentioned above, if you want to email me at [email protected], I'll see what I have available. We may have a replacement option, but if not, then I can advise you on sending the system in for inspection and possible repair.

Hello. I have one of the older acousticasters with an LR Baggs preamp. I had a problem with my jack and took it to a local music store for repair. They apparently miss wired the new jack and intern it has now messed up the control board. I love this guitar and have tried for a year or so to have it repaired with no luck. Can anyone help... Are there replacement boards available etc.. Thanks

Hey Jody78,
If you want to send me an email at [email protected], I can get your information and see what we can do to help you out.

The older acousticasters are great guitars, so I'd love to help you get it straightened out if I can.
