OK I'm using this diagram: http://www.lacemusic.com/wiring/pdf/6.pdf Would tell me how to adapt the wires going to the pickup selector in order to use a Fender 3Way switch, rather than a Gibson. Thank you

Hey I'm back again, I've now sat down and tried to figure out the wiring and the diagram can be pretty daunting at first. The whole four wire thing and which wires to solder together and stuff is really annoying me. I can see that unshielded ground wire thing on my Gibson 498T but I can't see anything of the kind on my Seymour, what do I do here? Particularly help me with all the ground wires and stuff if you can, how do I solder some of the pot outputs to the pot itself, where do the capacitors go etc? Any help would be really appreciated Thank You

I'm 16 too

Oh sorry! This should be in Solid Body, I posted it here completely by accident!

Can anyone give us an idea of depths in a typical routing cavity for a humbucker? I have them all at home but I've forgotten to bring them... I have the shape and everything, I just need the two depths... Thanks for any help

Ok mate thanks for all the help. The diagrams a little tricker than the other one I saw but I should be able to get it... Thanks!

Ok thanks a lot mate, and what customizations will I have to make by using a Fender pickup selector?

Ok and this is going to get my middle pickup option as two full humbuckers, not running like single coils or anything?

Oh nothing I do sort of get it as I said but yeah, it's a bit different than that strat wiring I saw before, plus I know the Seymour has 4 wires and the Gibby only has 2... I'm just a bit, yeah you get me...

Ok, I sort of get that...

Hey I've changed my design a lot recently if you've seen some of my other thread. I've now decided on the exact setup I want and it's going to be a lot different to the diagram I was given before unfortunately. I'm having a Gibson 498T in my bridge and a Seymour SH-4 in my neck. I'm now after an individual tone and volume control for each of my pickups, like a Les Paul. I only require a 3 Way pickup selector now as well, I'd like to use a fender style one. I want my pickup configuration on my selector to be as follows: Position 1: 498T Only Position 2: Both 498T and SH-4 running, both as full humbuckers Position 3: SH-4 Only Ok so can anyone help an electronics newb, AGAIN.... Thanks for any help.

So how do I wire that differently?

The Gibson looks like it only has one wire?!?! So how do I wire that differently?

Ok mate sorry but I'm pretty much an electronics newb, I can follow diagrams for soldering circuit boards and thats about all, could you explain what a braided shield cable is and what differences it has to the other two which I'll need to take into account. Thanks for this...

How much of a difference are woods in the same species? Like different species of mahogany etc.? How different do they sound?
