My pickup came with 3 wires. What do I do with them?

A 3-wire pickup configuration is a courtesy to the customer as it allows you to quickly reverse the coil direction or phase of the pickup. Our standard wiring is:

  1. White = Hot (to switch)
  2. Black = ground

In a 3-wire setup, you have:

  1. White = Hot (reversible)
  2. Black = ground (reversible)
  3. Blue = Chassis Ground (permanent ground)

If you followed the above wiring and notice that your pickup is out of phase with another pickup, reverse White & Black to put your pickup back in phase.
