2 Conductor HB Wiring Help

[phatguitars]

I have a set of "FOIL" HB's that were given to me. I have never seen this type of wiring connected to PUP's ( I'm a Fender Guy ). I have searched the net for hours looking for a diagram on how to wire these bad boys - but nothings there that I can find.

I would like to wire these with 1 VOL, 1 Tone and a 3 Way Toggle Switch - I want to put them in a used Gibson that I just bought, that has no pups in it.

Any assistance or pointing me in the right direction would be awesome !

White or black of each pickup go to the outer lugs of the 3-way switch. Center of the 3-way goes to the volume, volume to tone, tone to jack.

As well, you need a ground wire from the pot casings and jack and bridge grounds to the metal braids of both pickups.

You should be able to reverse the white or black wire of either pickup (but not both) if the middle position (both pickups) isn't to your liking.
