I recently acquired an Ovation Viper 3 and I've noticed that the tone control does not work when the bridge pick-up is selected, turning the tone control does not change the tone at all when the bridge pick-up is selected. The tone control works when the neck or the middle pick-up is selected. Does anyone have an original wiring diagram for the Ovation Viper 3 Solid Body Electric Guitar?
Thanks

It would be easy to hook up the tone pot to the bridge pickup if you want, but I'm pretty sure this is intentional and not a fault. There was never an owners manual produced for the Viper 3 but I have a typed "temporary" manual. I'll check that, but I think they planned to have the Viper 3 function like a Strat, where the bridge pickup does not have a tone control

Check Ovationtribute.com, there's a Viper Manual there. My typed version is 95% identical apart from the obvious and only differences such as the 3 mini toggles and third pickup. The manual confirms that the bridge pickup is not connected to the tone control

Never mind Paul, I found the Viper Manual but it's just for the 2 pickup version.
