Hi everyone I’m new here to the forum and with wiring pickups. Can anyone help with the correct wiring diagram for my strat- it has three single coils and I’m replacing the bridge single coil with the Duncan YJM fury pickup. I’ve tried to find the correct diagram on the Duncan site but I’m not sure which one I need Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks!
 
Same wiring colors as a hot rail

black to switch (or wherever single coil's hot went)
Green and bare to ground (back of a pot)
red and white soldered together and taped off
 
Welcome to the forum!

If the other pickups are standard Fender single coils, you will have to reverse the black & green wires on the YJM (green to switch, black to ground) in order for the pickup to remain in phase. You will hear it if it isn't in phase. It will sound hollow and thin when used with the center pickup.

Hi Mincer , the other two pickups are Duncan Quarter-Pounders- so not standard single coils. Do I still have to reverse the black and green ?

Thanks !
