Hello all, I usually start off by saying that I don't understand pickup wiring, and that is still the case so here I am with another wiring question. I have a telecaster that used to have a 4-way Oak Grigsby switch, which meant the pickups needed 2 ground wires. I recently swapped the neck...

Hi all, I'm planning on installing a P90 into the neck position of my telecaster but I'm not sure what kind of potentiometers to use. I've seen some mixed opinions on what kind of pots to use with P90s, but I haven't seen on what kind to use with a master volume and master tone. Obviously a...

Hi everyone, I'm not particularly well versed in wiring and how it works, but I was wondering if it's possible to add a second volume knob to my hot rails strat and just have a master tone knob. Obviously strats just have the master volume and two tone knobs, but I don't find myself messing...

Hello, I plan to wire this coil split to my HH strat: Adjustable coil split in the neck and the Slug coil split in the bridge. I've never installed pickups before and feel completely lost in that respect and had a few questions. I'm using a 3-way blade switch, and the diagram above does not...

Hello all, I've been playing for almost a year and want to learn how to modify my guitars, enter the Squier Contemporary HH Strat, which I bought as a project guitar. I bought these SD pickups: SH-2n Jazz (neck) and SH-4 JB (bridge). My plan is to wire a coil split but I want a certain...
