Guessing a bit: if it's got four wires the new one is almost certainly a humbucker. So I'd guess it's replacing a humbucker with only two wires (the original one for the guitar maybe). A four wire humbucker gives you the ends of both coils, the two wire one will have them connected end-to-end inside the pickup somewhere. Usually the manufacturer will have a sheet telling you the colour codes and which two wires need to be connected together, they might already be soldered together.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance imalone https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/pup-replacement/#post-378915 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/pup-replacement/#post-43425 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 20:32:05 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance chowlee https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/pup-replacement/#post-43425
