Hello, i purchased a couple of these pickups to try from ebay. I am looking to wire them either to a volume pot or straight to an output jack. I have read a few places and a did a search and couldn't find anything that came close to what i need.

Thanks Kenny

my guess from the picture is that the white wire is the hot for full humbucker the black is the ground. red/green will be where the two coils are joined. 

Thank you so much Timothy.

if you have a meter you could measure the resistance between black and the red/green. then the red/green and the white. if i am right they should be pretty close to each other....

Interesting that the black appears to be 2 wires twisted together and soldered, and the red/green is also twisted and soldered.

I'd check with a multimeter, I suspect the white is earth ground on the metal case on this humbucker and the red/green is signal hot and the black is signal ground.

Seymour Duncan website has a whole bunch of wiring diagrams for their pickups.

As you see in the top of the chart, Red and White are the 2 wires that twist together fro series humbucking, Green is for ground and Black for hot.

If you go to their website and type wiring diagrams in the search window, it'll take you to an interactive page to get your answers.

Thank you.
