Wiring A Dual Rail Pickup into A Cbg

Posted by Philip Hale on June 2, 2017 at 11:23am
Hi ,I've just bought an unbranded dual rail pickup with 4 wires, that is a green and a red twisted together the a single white and a single black. I don't plan to use volume or tone pots, so will want to wire direct to the output Jack probably bridging the Jack with a capacitor. Unless I need to use a switch to get the humbucker to work.l Would anyone be kind enough to tell me the best way to wire it up. I would've very grateful for any or all help, as I don't really know my way around wiring diagrams. Thanks In Advance Phil

    Tape off the twisted wires. The black is the ground, goes to the ring on the jack, the white goes to the tip... no need to use a capacitor ...

      Thank you so much for your helpful responses, I can crack on tommorow, and get the pickup fitted.
      Thanks Phil.
