    I am a little bit embarassed to even post this!

    I bought a set of used wolfgang pups , and they had to be respliced
    anyway i assumed they were the same as a dimarzio and followed dimarzio's wire code (red for hot,green and bare for ground,black/white together) and the pups sounded really hollow and weak?
    well it turns out that after talking to peavey it is red for hot,black and bare to ground green/white together!!!!!!
    NO WONDER they sounded hollow/weak! following dimarzio's wiring i was using them in series parallel!
    needless to say after wiring them correct I heard the tone i liked so much at the music store
    lesson well learned,next time i wont assume anything and ask here or the company!

      yeah i could kick myself in the arse for assuming that the peavey pups followed the dimarzio wire code! what was i thinking? maybe because VH used dimarzio before the peaveys?
      now really like the wolfgangs in my RG but still want to at least try a custom5

        I've done simular things.

        I also had a customer bring me a CE 22 that he bought cheap on Ebay. It had a Tonezone in the bridge but it was wired completely wrong and in the bridge position only one coil was hot. Somewhere on HC there is no doubt a guy running around saying the TZ is a thin, noisy low output pickup that is completely useless installed in a guitar.

        That or he now hates PRS......

          yeah i was very happy to find out it was ONLY my fault and not a bad set of pups!
          I heard the wolfgangs in a stock wolf at the music store and loved them! then i put a set in my ibanez and went
          Now all is well and the sound like they should

              The first time I ever installed a new pup was in a 3 pup Strat.

              When the switch was in the middle position, the new bridge humbucker would come on

                  anyone who has tried a tone zone wired right nows that it is far from thin,low output
