Hey all,

I recently got a Duncan Custom Custom, but I don't have too much experience with installing pickups.

The pickup has the following:

- Green bare wire 'twisted' together;
- Red white wire twisted together;
- Black wire.

Which should I connect to the selector, and which to the ground?

Thanks in advance.

Depends, do you want to split the PuP and what other type of PuPs do you have on the geetar?

BTW, don't expect a definitive answer - They make this stuff-up as they go...

It's in a H/S/S guitar, so two single coils (maybe to be replaced in the future).
I want it fully hooked up, no splits.

I guess it's just trial and error, but since the rest of the guitar's wiring isn't completely perfect yet, I want to be sure the problem won't be the wrong connection of the humbucker.

In that case:quot;Green bare wire 'twisted' togetherquot; = Ground (-), make sure it's more than twisted together, should be soldered.

quot;Red white wire twisted togetherquot; = Coil split-lead, just tape it up and fuhget 'bout it.

quot;Black wirequot; = Hot ( )

Good thing you don't want to get humbucking-split with the single coils, chances are you'd have to reverse magnets and leads on the SD humbucker...

Have fun

Yes, it's soldered. Thanks a lot!
