2672.0. "Help with pickup wiring !?" by SALEM::TAYLOR_J (Pickin' and a grinnin') Thu Jan 28 1993 07:57

    
    I have a Seymore Duncan Invader pickup that I'm putting into
    a guitar. The old pickup had three wires
    
        Red- 
      white_
     copper_  (bare wire-ground?)
    
     The replacement pickup (the Invader) has 5 wires for the option
     of having a split coil switch. I would like to just wire it up for
     the basic humbucking mode (no split coils). The wires are:
    
       red-
     white-
    silver-       (bare wire)
     Black-
     green-
     
     My question is simply , what wires do I connect to get this
     guitar/pickup combination going ? any suggestions ?
    
     Thanks..

 The typical connexion is :

 Black+shield(silver..) : Ground
 Red+White : solder and tap
 Green : Hot.(Volume Pot.)


 If the pickup is out of phase with the other one,
 just swap Black and Green wires (solder Shield and Green)
 or turn the magnet from 180 degrees (take care of the wires 
 if you do that...)
