The *^#! Wiring!?

[N3WFI3]

Now that i have a 59 bridge pickup [Single Conductor Humbucker]
how in the hell do i get it working lol, i brought it to a guitar shop the other day and they didn't know what to do with it
brought it to my former guitar teacher and he's gunna see if he can do anything with it
i might end up having to do this **** myself

My guitar is a Yamaha Pacifica 312II [HSS, 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 5 Way Switch]
all i care about is that the bridge pickup works and the neck
and if i can't get that, i will just have the bridge working.

You solder the single connector to your switch and you solder the braided sheild to your ground point, usually a pot chassis.

If your shop and teacher don't know how a pickup is installed, you need to replace both.
