whisky182 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 ive just recived my epiphone pickup in the post today, can anyone tell me how to wire it to: a volume pot a tone pot (with a capacitor) and an input jack! (oh another thing is the pickup only has two wires coming out of it, one grey and one bare!) cheers to anyone who gives me a hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 i would like to answer this but i'm sure my answer would be fine, disagreed with and then reworded for extra praise by someone else anyway here is the link...its for a 4 conductor pickup but you may notice that two of the conductors on the diagram have been soldered together...so basically the picture is of a two conductor. hope that helps, if not i'm sure someone will regurgitate it into smaller chunks for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbear Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Your might want to check out this guy also. He seems to have some pretty good ideas. He explains standard and non-standard wiring. http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/stockgibson.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmike Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 AARRGGGG!!! i could really use the info those links USED to contain. ive been searching through the old posts looking for info on how to wire up epiphone pickups but its not listed on a lot of the wiring sites at "guitarelectronics.com" and the other link doesnt work anymore. alot of the schematics arent working on the "projectguitar" main site and i need something quite specific. im looking to wire up a epiphone humbucker straight to the jack with no pots, but i could really use a diagram to keep me straight and also whether i should be using capaciters? (and where) not that theres many places they could go my brothers a electronic tech and im sure he'll know what hes doing but id like to at least give him a diagram to work from rather than a lump of parts. thanks for any help!

rockthe40 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 deadmike, just wire the PUP ground to the jack ground and same way with the hot. in wiring it to the jack, in case you dont know, figure out which lead is in contact with the sleeve of the jack because this lead is for the ground and the tip is the hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmike Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 is it really just as simple as that? ? ? i thought i better ask before blew something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockthe40 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 its just one pickup and nothing else then yea. you dont need any capacitors or anything like that. since theres no resistance in that setup itll actually give you optimal performance from your pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to use your controls, follow this diagram... http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo...1vol_1tone.html Disregard the red and white pickup wires, solder your pickup's bare wire to ground, and solder your pickup's grey wire to the volume pot lug that the diagram shows the black pickup wire soldered to.
