Electronics help

Help, I have a G&L L2000E and it has had a lot of use. In the picture is the elctronic controls but as you can see it's a mess. I've never seen this type of wiring. I know nothing about it so if anyone can tell me in simple terms where I can find parts to rewire I'd appreciate it. I'[ve been playing for 20+ years and still love to play.

You need to get that to a competent electronics tech. Not just any old guitar tech. Some body has got that all dicked up and a good ET needs to redo it. Schematic is on the G&L support page.

It may be hooked up correct but it is a sloppy, fugly job that should be reworked.

Any tech worth their salt would heat shrink the wires not use electrical tape.

That actually looks pretty good for G&L.

Here's mine:

A total mess, but it works fine.

From this link, click on "Support" and go down to where it says "Technical Schematics and Wiring Diagrams" and click on "Click Here".

...now I'm afraid to open up my L2K!

Ah yes, the infamous tookay 'spaghetti bowl'.

Part of the G&L charm.

The look on a guitar tech's face the first time he opens up a tookay?......priceless. LOL

Actually , the "spaghetti bowl" thing is over with now that they use a prewired harness. The only drawback is changing a pot is now a lot more work.

Thanks for the info, I thought it would be simpler to buy parts froms somewhere like a kit and just replace everything. I'll try to find a reputable place in LA to do the work.
