Lesson 5 we talk about the types of lead wire that you'll come across when installing your new pickups. Every pickup is different so be sure to look up your specs
We at Seymour Duncan want everyone to feel comfortable with a solder and empower our community to make some modifications, as well as DIY repairs to your own guitar. So join us on our journey and the first of many videos we release on the art of soldering.

I ran into another kind of lead wire on Rickenbacker 4003. The lead wire was a 26 gauge (why so very thin and fragile?) wrapped in plastic with a wire mesh braid around that (for shielding I assume), and then braid was wrapped by plastic. The connection was made by cutting the plastic off the wire braid, twisting the braid together and soldering that twist to a pot (or whatever) and then the hot lead to wherever. In changing the pickguard and pickups on two occasions I found that the joint wherever the mesh twist was bent at 90º broke at all places with the manipulation of working on the electronics and replacing that and pickguard back into the guitar. Two wires, ground and hot would be more durable.

is it possible a vintage style single conductor wire...wired onto push/pull pots and how the connections?

Would connecting the white and red apply to stacked single coils as well?

I generally straighten a short length of braid, twist the strands together and tin that, ensuring that it doesn't unravel

I have been looking for the answer this question. I am sure I will find it sooner or later. Each coil has a black and white wirer but I have not heard mentioned which coil has the red or white wire. I realize that it dose not matter. Black & white. Red & Green? If I had to guess. Thanks SD 👍

I don't see 1-conductor pick-ups available in Europe, only 2- and 4- conductor. Is that because the 1-conductor is an older method of connecting components?

I'm trying to wire a p90 humbucker p90 configuration guitar with a 3 way switch. I'm trying to make it behave like 2 seperate p-rail pickups but full size. Any suggestions or tips to wire it properly?

All brands use the same distribution with the 5 wires? I mean if each color always corresponds to the same pin.

Cannot remember how I first installed my Slash zebra pickups, flicked from bridge to neck pick and no sound that’s why I’m watching video.

I’m not that bright with these things.. I bought a pick up from eBay that has a green and a white wire but when I took my broken pick up off guitar it has a red wire,a white wire and a bare wire~ all three encased in a black plastic covering ..

Different pickup manufacturers use different wire colors. Was one of those pickups a Seymour Duncan?

It would be nice if every manufacturer went to the solderless system similar to EMG

M8, soldering isn't hard. You just have to practise. It allows greater customisation too
