wiring for epiphone SG

[Rowan]

Well I've been tinkering, trying to get proficent at soldering pickups by practicing on an old epiphone. The epiphone neck pickups has two wires, a fat white and a fat bare. The bare is soldered to the volume pot and the white is soldered to a switch on the side of the pot. I'm trying to put an old fender humbucker in the bridge position, it has green, black, red, white and bare wires. I followed the wiring diagram on the site but its no go. What should I connect to what?

2 volume, 2 tone pots.

Re: wiring for epiphone SG

Try this combination for the pickup wires then and follow the diagram on the SD site:

Green = Hot

White & Black (series link) = solder together and tape/ shrink tube over soldered end

Red & bare = to ground

Tell us if it works.

Good Luck
