MOUNTING PICKUPS ON THE GUITAR
Carvin TwinBlade Humbuckers are replacement pickups for standard single coils. Mount them into a single coil pickguard opening.
PICKUP WIRING
The shield wire always goes to ground. For standard humbucking operation, solder the Red and White wire together and cover it with tape to insulate. Solder
the Green wire and shield to ground. The Black wire is the hot output. (
See fig.1
)
WIRING THE CONTROLS
You should install a ground wire that runs from the tailpiece or bridge to the control area. Solder this ground wire to the back of one of the potentiometers. Be careful not
to use excessive heat when soldering to the potentiometers or switches as you may damage them.
(
See fig.2
)
PICKGUARD WIRING WITH
BRIDGE SWITCH
FIG 3 shows wiring with a mini-switch used to
turn the bridge pickup on when the 5-way posi-
tion switch is on either the middle or neck posi-
tion. This is the standard wiring configuration
for the Carvin Custom Shop when TBH60’s are
installed in a pickguard.
