Members rev.sasmith Posted December 25, 2008 Members Share Posted December 25, 2008 I just found an old ESP Viper 304 . Is in good shape but missing some parts and needs to be rewired. Does anyone have or can anyone point me in the direction of a wiring diagram for the EMG-HZ pickups in it AND recommend a good place to start looking for the missing parts . Basically I'm looking for a Backplate, Tuners and Knobs. I know the Tuners and Knobs are readily available but am having a hard time finding the Backplate and Wiring Diagram . Any Response is greatly appreciated. Thanx In Advance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCray Posted December 25, 2008 Members Share Posted December 25, 2008 here's a PDF of some diagrams if thats more helpful: Link Can't help you on the backplate, have you checked eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rev.sasmith Posted December 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks for the Diagram. I should be able to rewire it hopefully tomorrow (Merry X-mas to me). I've checked Ebay and a few parts sites to no avail. If anyone has a recommendation on where to find parts for this thing (either a web site or a good guitar shop in someones area) please let me know. Thankx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted December 25, 2008 Members Share Posted December 25, 2008 "Old?" Have you tried contacting ESP for parts? It hasn't been out of their model lineup for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rev.sasmith Posted December 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks but I've tried that too. I know its not that old but ESP hasn't been very helpful. I'll try em again tomorrow and see if there's anything else they know. If anyone has anymore info on where to find parts HIT ME UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 82Daion Posted December 28, 2008 Members Share Posted December 28, 2008 What's wrong with the tuners? Gotoh 201s are probably the best widely available replacement, and they aren't that pricey. They can be had from Warmoth, along with the knobs if you need any. Your best bet on the cavity cover is to buy some black matte pickguard material and cut it yourself. That part is going to be attached to the bass when it comes up on the market, for the most part.
