Low-tech no-solder hardwire for Les Paul frets

[McSkinny]

Okay I had an extra LP so I wanted to make a lefty guitar. So I wired the grounds and yellow normally which worked, swapped red with blue and that worked but swapping orange and green made orange strum down and green do nothing so any idea why it would do that?

I've done 4 of these mods before without incident. However, on the 5th time I did it I got a weird result (which I think was already there before I started the mod). Whenever I have green red and yellow all pressed at the same time it counts as a down strum and down strumming becomes disabled for as long as I have all three buttons held down.

Any ideas on why this might be or how I can fix it?

im aware that noone really reads this anymore, but if someone is planning to hard-wire there "2-peice" mistake so it can work right, i hope you might hear my idea that i used when doing this repair on my own guitar. and just wanted to add, great thread! i was stupid enough to not bother googling a bit before hard-wiring mine, so i had A LOT of guesswork haha. what i used was and Ethernet cable, since it contains 8 wires. and i used 2 feet of it. the reasoning is because, well idk bout all you, but i certainly planned on detaching my kneck again, either for repairs, or for easy storage.and no-offense intended, but hard-wiring it like this makes it a b*tch to take apart, dont ya think? so after soldering everything, i drilled a hole on the bottom(not the back) of the neck near the bottom, and hot glued it in place(as to not be yanked out by accident). and the other side of the cable, i double knotted it, and fed it through where the bottom guitar strap pin was. and all that you need to do is, after assembly of coarse, is fold up the cable neatly, and zip-tie. if you folded/zip-tied it right, it should be secure, and perfectly out of the way. with this little creative addition to the straight connect mod, you can EASILY remove the neck for easy disassemble for future modding or(hopefully not) repairs. i hope someone finds this useful. if anyone does happen upon this, and wants to know more, id be happy to write up a tutorial, or put up some pics of how mine came out. happy shredding!
