parallel wiring humbuckers

[babaker1014]

I am looking for anyone who may have a diagram (or great explaining skills) to help me learn how to wire a pickup ( neck) in parallel. I need the idiots guide because I'm new to pickup installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The thought is possibly using a jb in the neck position. And I'm hearing that it is way too hot to be wired in series, which is how I assume the current pickups (Emg designed) are wired. The guitar is an ibanez s620ex1. Thanks to any help I can get.The bridge will be getting a demon.

Its fairly simple. Tie black and red together for the "hot" output, and green and white together for ground.

I'm beginning to use parallel wiring much more these days. I like the increased clarity over series wiring. I guess I'm just too used to the P-90 sound to accept that muddy series humbucker sound anymore.

I really like the tone of my high output Invader bridge in parallel mode. It does sound cleaner and brighter and you still get full hum (noise) cancellation.
