Hayman Guitars Info

[t***@gmail.com]

Hi, i just found this group, no idea how Google groups work, but i badly need some help with a Hayman 1010 guitar.
The switch was faulty and the tone knob too, so i took a bunch of photos of the wiring before doing anything, then took it apart, cleaned the switch and replaced the tone knob.

Then my phone fell from my hirt pocket to its death before i got it back together, and now i'm stuck. Can anyone help?.
I read some posts from somebody who i gather was involved in the production of these guitars, so i'm hoping this is the place to get the right info.

THANKS A LMILLION for any help!!

I don't know anyone who used to work for Hayman.
To be honest, not many people frequent this newsgroup now, as they've
all migrated to Facebook.
However, a quick Google search lad me here:

This may be of help?

Hayman and Shergold guitars were made by the same factory. Hayman
guitars was a Dallas-Arbiter brand, and the factory started selling
Shergold guitars when the deal with Dallas-Arbiter fell through.

There's a tale behind the name. The designer was actually Jim Burns, but
he couldn't or wouldn't put his own name to the new guitars. So D-A
cakked them after their top drum-builder, George Hayman, whose name was
already appearing on D-A's upmarket drum brand.

The little switches (made by Re-An of Dartford) are notorious for going
intermittent. But they can be cleaned, and replacements may still be
available.

Looks like Nashvile Telecaster configuration. Various wiring options here:-

The 3pu 1010 is probably a limited run vs he 2pu 1010 so standard Telcaster
wiring would suit. It doesn't matter which way round the pickups are
connected. If you don't like the 'both' sound reverse the wiring on one pu.
If you want to know the magnetic polarity of each pu hold a magneti compass
close to the pu pole pieces, useful if you want to swap or combine pus.

Takes me back. My first "real" guitar (around 1979) was a Hayman 2020.
Natural in colour with beautiful maple neck and action. The pickups were
really weedy though, so I traded for a new sunburst strat - my dream
guitar at the time....I soon learnt.

This is probably far too late to be of use to you but maybe it will help somebody else reading this in the future. With the switch facing you, you will see four contacts at the top and four at the bottom. One contact on each is always connected to the wiper. Those contacts are joined together and taken to the jack socket. One switch bank selects the pickups, the other switches in the tone control. Pickups: One pickup to each contact on one bank - front pickup to the contact which is closed when the switch is in the front position - obviously - and so on. The tone only operates on the front and middle pickups so take the wire from the tone pot and wire it across the contacts for the front and middle pickups and leave the remaining one bare.

These switches are the same type as strat and tele switches but unfortunately Lorlin made these switches with different dimensions and they are not a like for like replacement and as far as I know Lorlin don't make these any more. However if your switch is stuffed there is a little trick which might just save you. The Lorlin switch is a modular design and can be taken apart quite easily. Be careful though and don't lose any of the springs or balls. Take off the wafer assembly and flip it over and you'll see another two sets of unused contacts on the other side. If you are lucky, these fresh contacts might keep your guitar playing a few more years.
