Basically my old washburn x50 pickups had three wires, one grouned to the volume, one connected to the tone (which is push/pull) and one to the switch, simple! The new ones however only have 2 wires hence the problem, i dont know how to connect it all together! Ive searched for hours looking at diagrams but i still dont know for sure where they go, please help!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you didn't you should contact Bareknuckle pickups for them to send you one. Should be included. You'll come a long way with a multimeter so that you can measure the pins of a switch to know which pins goes for each position. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you bought a 2 conductor wiring then the wiring is simple, but you won't be able to coil split!!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just describe (or take a photo) of your wiring inside the guitar and send them. They should know what goes where. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just solder the inner cable to the volume knob contact and the outer braiding needs to be soldered on top of the knob to ground it. The red circle shows where to ground and the white where to connect! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
