Installation of Jazz Model SH-2n

[aengus]

Hi - I am quite clueless, and would really appreciate some help on installing a new SD Jazz model pickup -

This is a washburn hollow body guitar with f-holes. Each of the 2 humbuckers currently in it has its own volume and tone knob.

The factory pickup I'm taking out of the neck position of the washburn has two wires coming from it, enclosed in a single sheath (one wire has its own sheath inside, the other does not). Each wire is connected to a different part of the volume pot.

My question is:
Which 2 wires (or combinations of wires) on from the SD pickup do I attach to which positions on the volume pot?

thanks in advance,

Aengus.

welcome to the forum,

The four conductors on most SD PUs are for "fancy" wiring (coil split, etc.).
For regular wiring, just follow this diagram:

Cheers,

I was getting confused by

http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/2hum_2vol_2tone_3way-w-spl.html

since the guitar has 2 pu, 2 vol, 2 tone - but of course most of that wiring is already done...

Thanks....

now if I could only remember which way the plastic pickup frame was oriented. Is this standard? Does anyone know the pickup frame usually get thinner towards the neck or towards the bridge?

It's thicker towards the bridge, at least it is on my LP, It'll probably be fine the other way, but it would look kinda odd...

Cool thanks - that makes sense because the pickup is made more parallel with the strings that way.
