Wiring Diagram for
Pickup Models:
The basic steps include:
1. Remove the old strings from your guitar.
2. Unscrew and remove the pickguard and carefully turn it over, taking care not to
scratch your guitar’s finish.
3. De-solder the original pickup’s wires and make sure to remember where they
were connected.
4. Remove the original pickup from the pickguard.
5. Put the Seymour Duncan pickup into the pickguard.
6. First tin and then solder the Seymour Duncan pickup wires in the same spot the
original pickup’s wires were connected.
7. Put the pickguard back in place, taking care to tuck in loose wires.
8. Re-string your guitar and adjust the pickup height so that your new pickup
balances with the other pickups in the guitar. The bridge pickup should be
between 1/8” and 1/16” from the strings, when they are pressed down at the
highest fret, and the neck and middle pickups should be adjusted to achieve the
best balance with the bridge pickup.
Congratulations on your purchase of a fine, hand-built, Seymour Duncan electric guitar pickup! Installing
this pickup in your guitar isn’t rocket science. And, if you’re already handy with tools, it’ll be a snap for
you–and fun too! But if you have no experience handling red-hot soldering irons, you’d be well advised
to take your new pickup and your trusty guitar to a qualified guitar tech.
