Wiring Help Needed

Recommended Posts

I'm building my first guitar and I'm about to start wiring

I have tow tone,two volume and a 3 way sw

the pups are seymour duncan humbuckers jazz, and a seth lover

I thought this wiring diagram would work

http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/humb.html

but after stripping the insulation from the pups Ifind that the jazz humbucker has four wires, and the seth has one.

I found a wiring diagram that says join the the red and white wires together and insulate, join the green wire to the shield and connect to ground, and wire the black to the pot as shown in the schematic for two single coils.

Will this work?

also the three connections on the pots, how do you know which one is which?

and how do you connect the ground wires to the pots? solder it to the case?

If the diagram you found for the colors is an SD, then it should work fine. If you just found a random diagram... well, different pickup makers can use different colors.

Your http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/humb.html diagram is typical two humbucker wiring and should work fine.
