Hey Brokin rotate all 3 pickups 180 degrees. Looks like there is enough wire to do so.
Looks like they are in the correct location with the code having N = neck, M = middle and B = bridge

no worries Brokin. A general rule is the wiring should usually face the direction to the control cavity.
Have you got a multimeter to check the resistance of the pups ? be keen to compare to mine as mine are an older set ordered maybe couple of years ago.

hey wokkaboy yeah i do have a multimeter. where do i check them at the end of the wire or where the wire is soldered to the pickups?

Either Brokin there is precious little resistance in the wires
ok resistance the the tonerider PUPs
Bridge; 8.73
Middle; 6.17
Neck; 6.10
is that good or bad?

thanks Brokin, think those figures are pretty similar to mine. Mine were about 5-10% less than the figure quoted on the back of the pups. From memory mine were about (neck, middle, bridge) 5.7k, 5.9k and 8.7k

ok no worries. may i ask about the resistance in the pickups. what the deal is and whats good and whats not. Is higher the better?? Are the humbuckers the same sort of deal?
just for future reference.

Hey Brokin, a higher resistance generally means more wire turns/winds in the pickup which usually equates to more pickup output. A Humbucker is basically 2 single pups joined, wound opposite directions to cancel the hum hence the name.
Usually a good resistance for a single coil pup is about 7-10k and a humbucker above 14k is pretty hot
