Suhr pickup schematics? Urgent

I'm looking for a schematic for Suhr HSS configuration with a CRL 5-way switch. The pickups are a SSH+/V63+/V63+
I have been to 2 techs and they do something wrong. When the volume are set on 8-10 it sounds like the tone are set on 0 and no matter how I turn the tone back and forth there's no difference in the tone whatsoever. But when the volume is set to below 8 the treble comes back and the tonepot reacts as supposed. The second tech resoldered all the connectors as it was from from 1st when changing pots....therefore I feel it was wrong from the very start and they have no clue on how to actually do it without a schematic
 
Could you post a picture of the current wiring?

I'm not sure about Suhrs specifically, but a 5-way HSS shouldn't be rocket science. Sounds like something ain't right. Seymour Duncan, among many other places, have tons of schematics for HSS
 
Is that .022uF supposed to be hanging off the volume pot? Wouldn't that always ground highs regardless of the tone control setting?

This doesn't show the coil tap, but does show the tone cap hanging off the tone pot.

Contact Suhr, their customer service is awesome. They’ve sent me schematics in the past…
I did try their customer service but it doesn't seem to work. I fill in everything and when press send there's som error...
 
Blown cap? Might have happened if their soldering iron was set too hot and they held it on too long.

Probably supposed to be a treble bleed cap and the AI just did a shit job, but worth verifying because otherwise it could be an issue.
 
I had a request out to them a while back for Ian thornley wiring diagrams and they linked me to a Dropbox with all of the wiring diagrams. I’ll see if I can find what you’re looking for and repost. My email search is absolute crap on my phone. Otherwise suhr support is fast and great.

Yeah overheating can destroy a lot. I've seen pots get cooked. Once you let the smoke out, it doesn't work anymore 🤣
 
That's weird, and tbh sounds more like a component issue to me.

Maybe a pot or a cap's busted

I don't want to post a Suhr schematic but I'll PM you. They are really quick to respond to through there support email.
 
try this, requires a superswitch
