Dimebucker and 59's

[himrazorblade]

I am thinking about putting a dimebucker in the bridge of my ESP LTD F-50 and a 59 in the neck. The dimebucker has four conductors and the 59 can come with two or four. Would i need to get the four conductor 59 if i was to have a dimebucker.

Many Thanks

No ,not at all,2 wire is just fine, you just wouldnt be able to "split" the coils.

You would only need a 4 conductor 59N if you wanted to install a switch so you could split the pickup into a single or switch it to parallel for more of a single coil tone with lower output than the standard series sound of a humbucker.

so if i just want them to replace the two orginal pickups with out adding any new switch the two would be fine.
