Standard Humbucker Wiring
For standard humbucker series wiring the red and white wires will
be soldered together and insulated with tape. The black wire
should be soldered to the hot connection on the guitar whilst the
green wire and bare wires should both be soldered to ground.
Single Coil Wiring
Swineshead Single Coils follow the following wiring code.
Black (hot) = start of coil
White (ground) = end of coil
The black wire should be soldered to the hot connection on the
guitar whilst the white wire should be soldered to ground.

Height Set-up
The bridge pickup is usually set about 2 - 3mm (3/32') from the
strings but it can be adjusted to your taste. Moving the pickup
closer to the strings will increase output and bass response
whilst moving the pickup away from the strings will give a
clearer, lower output sound. Once the bridge pickup's height is
set the neck pickup can then be adjusted so that it gives a
similar output to the bridge.
