Hi
So like the title i'm trying to swap out the bridge pickup (no brand) on a Edwards "Sexy fingers III"
to a Duncan SH-4 (What the ESP version comes with).
It's a 1 volume push-pull pot and a 3 way switch.
First time doing this (have soldered in the past though, so that's not the concern)
I just simply don't know what goes where.
The original pickup came with what i assume is a ground and a "hot" wire.
Ground was on top of pot while "hot" wire went to the pickup selector.
Now the new pickup however has as you know have 5 cables.
Got it used and the red and white where already together and taped off (seeing as this has option to split the coils, do i need it?)
I soldered the black "hot" wire to the same spot the previous black wire went to.
As for the green and "naked" cable. They are together on the top grounded position.
But maybe they don't go together at all?
You can hear the guitar but there's a lot of hissing noise when i try it out.
Closest thing to my layout on the website i can find is the "1 Hum, 1 single, 1 hum, 1 volume push/pull coil split, 5 way blade"
I don't have a 5 way blade and diagram confuses me.
All stock cables are either black or white.
More pictures for a better understanding.
Hope this is enough for someone to help me out.
Sorry if this also happens to be the wrong place for me to post this.
Thanks in advance!
