Livewire wiring

[southadc]

I picked up a livewire metal/classic set off Ebay recently, but it didn't come with any wiring instructions. What do the different wire colours correspond to? I haven't figured out what to connect the battery to yet.

Do I have to use a stereo output jack so that I can disconnect the batteries when the lead isn't plugged in (like with an EMG set)?

Re: Livewire wiring

white is hot, bare to ground, and the red wire goes to the battery
yes you should use the stereo jack

That's great, thanks, that's what I was looking for.

Do I have to run a ground wire to the bridge? Or are the LiveWires double-insulated like EMGs?

I left the bridge ground wire connected when I had the Live Wires in my Strat
