So I've decided on the JB Jnr by Seymour Duncan to replace the tinny bridge pickup on my Jaguar.

Only thing is I cant find anywhere on how to wire in a humbucker in a Jaguar.

Can you help me?

I could be very wrong here, but I think you have to wire the two coils together then connect the remaining two conductors to the switches normally. This would eliminate the possibility of coil tapping, however, but without some other mods to the Jag switching you wouldn't get that anyway.

Its really easy dude. You just solder the black hot to the three switches (on the point of the original bridge hot) then the ground and green wire to the ground point on that plate, then solder red and white together and tape up.
You'll have to remove the SP to get the wire neatly in the route channel though.

You need a dumbass thread like this one:

Thanks

I am keeping the neck pickup, so I would:

Red+White wires are twisted and solderd together
Black+Bare wires are grounded
Green wire is hot, and solderd to the middle switch.

Is this correct? Read on the thread the black and green be reversed?

Thanks for the help

What I did was detach the wires from the cij pickup and then all I needed to do was solder those 2 wires remaining to the 2 wires of the new pup.

Much more freedom and no faffing around with soldering to the switch tabs etc etc. 5 min job once de-assembled.

as far a what colour goes where I just followed the instructions I was given on the other thread. I'm a totally amateur when it comes to electronics.

Nope.



Red & White - solder together and tape. This creates a humbucker
Bare & Green - GROUND
Black = HOT

Who the fuck is Lawrence and what guitars might I find his pickups in?

DIME FROM HELL!!!

Washburn Nuno, i think the Peavey T-60 had them too.

Fitted it today, relatively hassle free The screws that came with it are not long enough, and the stock ones were too long :p
Ive spaced it with a few washers for now, but plan on getting a claw to fit round it so that it matches the neck pickup.

Sounds spot on!

Thanks for the help guys.
