12056 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 im doing my first wiring job somewhat soon, and i was thinking that these wiring instructions would work for all humbuckers. i want to use these, because they were the best ones i could find. so would they work for any other humbucker? thanks.
