Can I get some wiring help? APH-2 install

[malix]

I've installed a bunch of pickups before but this one is a little different than I'm used to and I'm having trouble finding a diagram for it.

Guitar is an ESP LTD BK-600, so it came with 2 Lace Sensor humbuckers, 1 vol, 1 tone, (both have push pull pots for coil splits), and a 3 way toggle. I'm pretty happy with the bridge pickup so that one is staying for now but I'm swapping out the neck for an APH-2 which came with a single conductor wire. I don't care about making the coil split work because I never use it anyway but I have no idea how to wire this up. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Thanks!



The green wire seen here that's not connected to anything is coming from the toggle switch. And of course the braided one is from the neck pickup. I can try to get a clearer pic if necessary.

The center conductor goes to the 3-way switch and the braid gets connected to ground. I'm not sure if the Lace will be in phase in the middle position. If not you'll need to swap the wires of the Lace. Hopefully it has a separate ground wire, otherwise things will get a bit more complicated if the two pickups are out of phase.

Well, its the absolute bog standard humbucker format.......centre is hot to vol pot lug/switch whatever is first and braid is grounded

Oh wow, that's it? That was easier than i thought.

Those Lace Sensors had 5 wires coming out of each one and i was like what is this?! :34:

Thanks.

You might need to look at the push-pull for the neck and see how that is attached to the switch......as that wire is what you are replacing
