~davie Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) here, try this. http://www.seymourduncan.com/images/suppor...cs/2h_1v_3w.jpg and then combine it with this for your kill switch http://www.seymourduncan.com/images/suppor...kill_switch.jpg not sure if this kill switch diagram is suited to what you're doing, but if it doesn't work out then let me know. I'll try to draw up a diagram Edited March 13, 2010 by ~davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarkid4143 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 That won't work. I need the three conductors. I didn't know if anyone could draw it up like, pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should work, its essentially the same thing that you have. Black wire for signal, Green wire for ground and Bare wire. btw, what kinda switch are you using for the killswitch? DPDT, on-on?

It would depend on the brand of the pickups. Certain guitar pickup companies use certain color codes for their wires. If you know the brand, then you can probably look it up. But if you don't know the brand or its some random aftermarket brand then do trial and error, swap them back and forth and see/hear which one sounds better. lol But my guess, its likely the red wire is for the signal, whereas the white wire is for ground.
