WIRING
- Follow the wiring diagram below to see how to rout the wires through the body cavity. This can be
a daunting process for the novice. Contact us at [email protected] or (877)347-
6423 if you have any questions. All of the remaining hardware on the body is connected to the wiring so
these following steps will be taking place simultaneously. Read the entire instructions before starting to
assemble the rest of the pieces to understand how the whole process should flow.
PICKUPS
- There are four humbucker-style pickups included with your guitar, two neck pickups and two
bridge pickups. Although they appear similar, they are not the same. The neck pickups will have a thinner
plastic ring around the base, the bridge pickups will be thicker. When identifying your pickups, also note
that the ring on each is tapered with a thicker side and thinner side. The thinner side should face the neck.
Gently screw down the pickups once all the wires have been run. The plastic rings can break if the screws
are overtightened.
PICKUP AND NECK SELECTOR SWITCHES
- Install the three-way switches in the holes in the two pick guards.
The nut and washer needed for each should already screwed onto the switches. The switches are identical.
The two switches closest to the neck will control pickup selection on each neck. The switch closest to the
bridge will handle switching between necks.
TONE AND VOLUME CONTROLS
- Included in your package are four rotary controls to be used as tone and
volume controls. Two of the controls have green capacitors attached, these are your tone knobs. Most of
this wiring is already done for you. Place the threaded post on each up through the pre-drilled holes in the
body. Use the attached washer and nut to tighten them into place. For ease of wiring, face the solder lugs
into the center of the body cavity.
OUTPUT JACK
- The output jack should be inserted through the large hole drilled into the back edge of the
guitar body which opens into the body cavity. It is attached with four small screws. The ground wire will
connect with the square lead and the signal wire will connect with the round lead. The contact may need to
be adjusted where it contacts the guitar cable to ensure a tight fit that locks the guitar cable in place.
ELECTRONICS CAVITY COVER
- It doesn’t directly connect to the electronics, but this piece cannot be added
until the wiring job is done. The only thing to be aware of is that the fit may have changed when finishing
was applied to the guitar. The easiest fix is to sand down the cover to the new size. Usually, it is only a small
adjustment.
