Thanks for purchasing a Tonerider Humbucker. This guide provides wiring and installation information for all our four-conductor humbuckers. HUMBUCKER INSTALLATION GUIDE COIL SPLITTING: This wiring option leaves one coil on, making the pickup work like a true single coil. It is a useful modification to increase your tonal options. - SPLITTING TO THE SLUG COIL (Diagram 3): This is gives a fuller sound than the screw coil, especially in the bridge position. THE QUICK GUIDE: * Install with screw coils facing outwards. * Pressing the strings against the high frets, set the pickup heights to 3mm from the strings (neck) and 2mm (bridge). * The RED wire is “hot” and connects to the input lug of the volume pot or switch. * The GREEN wire and SHIELD are “ground” and connect to the back of a grounded pot. * The BLACK & WHITE wires should be soldered together. This is done at our workshop. * Test the guitar through an amplifier and make final adjustments to the height of the pickups.
