Pickup wiring
« on: April 01, 2013, 10:36:43 PM »
Hi, accidently posted this in the wrong place. I need a wiring diagram or something for a strat I am modding. I am putting a P90 in the bridge (no other pickups), a single volume an a single tone control, also adding a killswitch. Any help given would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Can't help with a diagram for that particular setup - the Seymour Duncan site is usually pretty good for that stuff.

But I wanted to say - what an awesome set up that would be!

Cheers, I'll have a look on Seymour Duncan but it's gonna be difficult to find. Thanks for the help.

I can't find a diagram for the exact scheme you're after, but basically you can combine these two diagrams, for a single pickup with the kill switch inserted between the pickup and the jack:

The P-90 will work with 500k pots like a humbucker, or you could use a 500k volume and 250k tone like some vintage Les Paul Junious.
