    Very sharp!

    It's pretty straight forward. (1) On the first pickup, solder the white and the red wire to each other, then wrap electrical tape around the connection. Do the same with the second pickup. (2) Solder the balck wires, and shield (if present) wires to ground (the back of the volume pot is perfect). (3) Solder the blue wires of each pickup to each's corresponding lug on the selector switch. This was taken from... http://www.mightymite.com/pickups/guitar/dc/index.html Let us know how it goes.

    Probably best to contact Jason Lollar in regards to specifics of his schematics. Excellent links Lovekraft.

    I had heard that only the "innerds" were being made in the US, and the actual tubes were being made in China or where ever.

    For typical straightahead wiring, they do not connect to anything except each other. Solder the red and white wires together, then wrap some tape around the connection or use heat shrink insulation if you have it. Now for a coil split push/pull switch, this red/white conection would also be soldered to one of your spliter switch lugs. See this diagram... http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo...matics/hr2.html They are using a mini-toggle switch, but with a push/pull pot it is the same. This feature gives you the ability to switch from the hot humbucking tone to a thin, bright single coil sound with the flick of a switch. Personally I prefer as few switches as possible...plug in and go. But that is just me.

    That is an excellent idea Greg. Another way to split the coils and still have a functioning tone control is to use a push/pull pot.

    Tim, depending on the saddle positions you may be able to remove the bridge plate screws with removing the saddles. You just kind of push each one aside as you need to...you'll see. If you do have to remove the saddles, then just put them back on when you are done, and re-intonate with your tuner. For your wiring diagram go to... http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo..._bridge_hb.html If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

    You would also want to switch the polepiece screws to gold as well. You would not have to re-pot the pickups. It is recommended to put one strip of masking, or electrical tape down the center of the pickup, prior to installing the cover. This dampens the cover, keeping it from vibrating...just to be on the safe side. Check here for covers http://www.specialtyguitars.com/accessories.html we can get the polepiece screws for you as well.

    What about his volume and tone controls? 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.

    Interesting that he did not show a picture of the pickup that HAS the PAF decal.
