Hi Ron,
I'm assuming you want the pickup to operate as a regular humbucker.
Step 1 - Solder the red and white wires together and tape.
Step 2 - Solder the black and unshielded wires to the metal case
back of the pot.
Step 3 - Solder the green to the pot lug on the right (orient the
pot so that you are looking at the back of it with the
lugs pointing up, and it's the one on the right)
Step 4 - Bend the left pot lug back against the metal case and
solder.
Step 5 - Use a piece of coax wire. Solder the center conductor at one
end of the the coax to the center lug of the pot, solder the
shield to the pot case. At the other end of the coax, solder
the center conductor to the tip lug on the jack, and solder
the shield to the other lug.
Step 6 - Solder the wire from the bridge to the back of the pot.
Step 7 - Party on Ron.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

| 2613.2 | Wire size make any difference? | AKOCOA::MINEZZI | | Fri Oct 23 1992 08:37 | 10 |
| Neal,
Does it make any difference what size wire, and coax cable that you
use?
Also, can you use two wires instead of coax?
Thanks for the help!
Ron.

I would use 22, ,24, or 26 gauge stranded, and I wouldn't go any
smaller than that.
>Also, can you use two wires instead of coax?
You could, but it may prove to be noisy if the cavity the pot is in
isn't shielded. So use twisted pair. Make it yourself with black and
any other color wire and twisting them up with a power drill........
slowly, of course.

| 2613.4 | To add a tone control........ | LEDS::ORSI | Stimpy's Magic Nose Goblins | Tue Nov 03 1992 19:34 | 29 |

Ron,
To install a tone control, you need the same kind of pot as the volume
pot, and a .047�f or .1�f 50V or 100V disc capacitor.
Step 1 - Solder a wire from the back of the volume pot to the back of the
tone pot
Step 2 - Solder the cap from the center lug of the tone pot to the back
of the volume pot. Orientation of the cap is not important.
Step 3 - Looking at the back of the tone pot with lugs straight up, solder
a wire from the lug on the left to the volume pot lug with green
wire on it. The third lug on the tone pot is a no-connect.
Optional - In most guitars with single coil pickups, when the volume is
turned down, the tone changes, ie, loss of treble. To decrease
this effect, implement Step 4. You'll need a .001�f 50V or 100V
disc capacitor.
Step 4 - On the volume pot, solder the .001�f cap from the center lug to
the lug with the green wire on it.
As to the guitar jack with three prongs, locate the lug on the jack
that is connected to the longer contact, and solder the wire from the
center lug of the volume pot to it. Then locate the lug that is part
of the sleeve, and solder the wire from the back of the volume pot
to it. The third lug on the jack is a no-connect.
