Duncan performer and 59 model humbucker

[Michael Ryan]

Dear All,
I am new to guitar building and have these 2 humbuckers. The Performer detonator only has the one lead and I want to use the 4 250K pots - 2 as tone and vol. for each pickup. Then I only have to buy a selector switch and jack.
I don't see a wiring diagram for the single wire and the 4 wire pickups together. Any help appreciated.

get the two seperate schemes for the four & the one plus a 2 humbucker/2tone/2vol/switch or paul wiring and combine them at the switch (IE wire the pickups seperately and then use the schemes for the pual/SG to connect the pickups through the switch) um... I'll be back with the diagram

this is assuming the Preformer is the bridge (which if it isn't, you crazy!) I got the info as a composite from the duncan site, if I'm wrong, someone correct me! I think 4 conductor it's green = hot and black = ground then the red & white are what you use to split and phase the pickup. Right? So, just wire it with the red & white unused and use the green & black as a single conductor. Now do you get it? Just don't let the red & white ground out. I guess, insolate them with something, like electrical tape or something.

indie p bass is right with the diagram, just connect the red and white and tape them off and you basically have two single conductor pickups. Good luck

Thanks, guys,
I didn't want to spend any more $$ right now ie push pull pots etc. Just see if I can get it together with the stuff I have, then more ideal later.
