Re: pickup wiring

Follow the wiring schematics provided with the pickups. The colour coding on the DDD's should be the same as on the Dimebucker. The X2N's colour coding will be

Green = Earth
Red = Output
Black > white

(Coil1 white = out, green = return; Coil2 red = out, black = return)

Basically, DiMarzio uses white where Seymour uses red, Black where Seymour uses white and red where Seymour uses black.

I think; feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

Don't know about the colour coding of the Bill Lawrence, sorry.

Keep your soldering neat.

Use a maximum of 30w iron.

Don't overheat your connections; as soon as the solder runs, that's it!

Heat the workpiece, not the solder.

Keep your iron's tip clean and tinned.
