Need Help Configuring My Pups Setup

[metalninja521]

Ok, so here's the scoop: I've got a BC Rich Kerry King KKV (the $399 one, not the $899 one), no tremolo, basic BC Rich Stock pickups. It has 1 volume and 2 tone controls for potentiometers, with a 3-way switch. I want to outfit this axe with a '59 (the single conductor one, with the braided shield wire) at the neck and a dimebucker at the bridge. However, I can't find a frickin wiring diagram for my axe anywhere and I need to know where to solder the wires to, since the stock pickup wiring is totally different than what my new pups have. Can anyone give any insight?!?

I'm guessing here, but the stock wiring may not be as different as you think. It could just be the colours that are confusing you. Different manufacturers use different wire colours - I had DiMarzios and it confused me when I wanted to replace them with Duncans thanks to the colour difference.
Sorry if that sounds stupid to you, but it's a basic mistake people like me made.

Re: Need Help Configuring My Pups Setup

I appreciate your help. I'll definitely look into the wiring, since the stock wires are red and blue, and the dimebuckers are red and green. And no, that doesn't sound stupid at all. I'm still a bit concerned because I was checking the wiring diagram for the 59 with the braided shield wire and it says to solder it directly to the back of the volume pot or to the 3 way switch, and the wire is considerably thicker than the others. Plus, I don't want to cause a short circuit either.
