Howdy,
I have finally started on my FVB-4 and I am really liking the way it is coming together.
The time to do the wiring is drawing nearer so I went in and had a look at the video guide for wiring the 2 Humbuckers 1 Volume 1 Tone & 3 way switch. It all looked very straight forward UNTIL I looked at the pickups in the kit. The guide shows just a red or yellow wire and an earth wire , but the pickups in the kit have 4 wires in each, attached together to form 2 wires which I am assuming are the active & earth but PLEEEZE correct me if I'm wrong. Into the mix then is thrown a 5th one which is a fine black wire?
Could you please give me some guidance, there is a long yellow wire & a long red wire in the kit, does this just get soldered to the wires from the pick-up & then to the pots? What becomes of the fine black wired?
I certainly don't wish to foul it all up so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Barney
