Need help with wiring

[Nuttttttttttttt]

So recently I have bought new EMG pickups and I got the 81/SA/85 to install. However, I can't find any sort of diagram and I don't know how to set it up.

I'll be adding one tone and volume, and the 81 is going in the bridge, the SA in the middle and the 85 a the neck, all solder connections

If anyone could draw me up a schematic or tell me.precisely how to wire it, it'll be greatly appreciated

That's a fairly standard setup did you try EMG's site? They should have that diagram on there for that.

The EMG 85 and 81 wire up exactly the same as the single coils such as SA. So any EMG instruction sheet for 3 single coils would provide what you need.

You can find the instructions 81+SA+SA HSS setup, but again there is no actual difference in the connections.

Ok so basically if I check the schematics that would wire a three single coil strat setup, it wouldn't matter if two of them are humbuckers because the wiring is practically the same?

I've checked and I found the three single coil setup for a strat but I wasn't sure if it would be able to incorporate two humbuckers because maybe it would require a different wiring setup, but I don't think it requires any differences???

You need a 3 active pickup diagram, not singles/humbuckers

Something like "David Gilmour EMG" but with 1V / 1T



Oh here we go:

Pot values can be pretty much anywhere from 10k to 100k btw.... batteries-wise, 1 is minimum, but 2 or 3 can be daisy-chained for 18v / 27v mod (changes sound)
