Southpa Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 The extra wire is for using single coil option. If you don't want that option, usually employs an extra toggle switch, then just tape off the end of that wire. Which wire is which? Easy enough to find out with a multimeter. Set the meter to Ω X 1000 and measure the resistance between one wire and the known ground wire, measure again between the other wire and the ground. Which ever reading gives the most resistance is the one you use for full humbucking, ie. both coils in series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
