Wiring

[Dirge for november]

Hello,

It would seem to me to be quite a common wiring setup, yet I can't find one on the sites i'm familiar with. The setup in question is: 2 p-90's 1 vol. 1 tone and a 3 way switch.

I'm on the edge of understanding how wiring actually works, so if I have this one I'll be able to understand more by comparing! (I probably could interpret a 2 'bucker 1vol. 1tone diagram but I haven't figured out how to compare 2 wire to 4 wire pickups)

Thanks in advance.

It explains the 2-4 conductor issue at the bottom, but its pretty clear from the diagram anyway (ignore red&black)

You may want to use 250k pots depending on how bright your p90s are, IM0 hot p90s work well with 500k, vintage spec with 250k.

Thanks. It's still not completely clear to me though. I see 5 wires. I guess bare and green should be my braid, and as the box on the bottom states the center (black in my case) should go to the switch. I don't quite understand what I have to do with white (If I ignore red&black... Did you by any chance mean to ignore red&white?)

yes green (pup coil start) and bare (pickup base and cover(if it has one) earth) are your braid, pup coil start and earth are connected inside your pup.

Yes i did mean ignore red and white, oops! they are the end of one coil and start of the other, this connection is done inside 2 conductor pups.

Haha, in that case I completely understand!

Thanks!
