Hi all
I was just looking over the wiring diagram for my IB-1 kit and I have encountered a problem. Rather than using the single coil pickup that came with the kit for the middle position I decided I was going to use a Chinese hot rails pickup. According to the diagram the single coil uses two wires, a hot wire connected to the selector and a ground wire which is connected to the volume pot, however the hot rails pickup has 3 wires... I have no idea where the 3rd wire goes.
This is what the description of the eBay listing said about the pickup:
Specification:
Color: Black, Silver
Material: Metal + magnet + copper
Brand name: BQLZR
White line: firewire
Black line: Neutral wire(Zero Line)
When connecting the black line with the white line, the resistance is about 8K, which means two single pickup connected to be a humbucker's resistance.
Red line and green line are single pickup, when they connect with white or black line, the resistance is about 4K
Install hole to hole distance: 75mm
Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe
