Step 6: Wiring Pickups
To integrate both pickups into the electronic circuit, the connection cables of the pickups have to be
soldered to the respective volume potentiometers (9). Traditionally, the upper volume and tone knobs
control the neck pickup, the lower two knobs control the bridge pickup.
Wiring colour-code for the bridge pickup:
2-wire grey cable with black wire (ground) and white wire (signal) Wiring colour-code for the neck
pickup:
2-wire black cable with black wire (ground) and white wire (signal)
To wire both pickups correctly, the white signal wires must be soldered to the left tab of the
respective volume potentiometer, while the black ground wires must be soldered to the ground
connection on the potentiometer housing (see illustration).
