                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm new here and didn't know where else to turn for help and advice as I'm learning on my own. I have a couple of cheap strat style guitars I'm tearing down and rebuilding back up some, switching out parts, etc, as in trying to learn more about the inner workings of guitars. My question is, everywhere I turn to for help with taking out and/or replacing pickups (they're both SSS) I can't seem to find help with the wiring style these employ. I have one wire coming from each pickup (red, yellow, blue) and I get that it's just a different set up than pickups with separate hot and ground wires but I'm still a little confused as to how these wires are hooked up with another wire before being soldered to the selector then volume pot. <br><br>I'm sure what I have said here is confusing but I will clarify in any way possible and I'd like to submit picks once I figure out how. Thanks!]]></content:encoded>
