I’m a total f*cking moron when it comes to pickup wiring, especially on a Les Paul. This is precisely why I order solderless kits from Mad Hatter, so when I f*ck up and put the wrong wire somewhere, I won’t melt all the wires unsoldering it.
Ok, I know the wire code for the Suhr Aldrich I’m installing- (not splitting coils currently)
Black - Hot
Green - Ground
Red & White wired together
Looking at this pic from Suhr it shows Green/White wires going to the pot, with the Black going to the lug on the pot and this is where I get confused-
This is the inside of my Orville-
Those gray wires are the only wires coming from the pickups (one wire per pickup, with a white wire and bare wire inside) and the only thing coming out of them are two wires attached to individual lugs, a bare wire and a white wire. The black cloth wire is going to the selector switch and the top of the pot.
So would I be wiring the Green/White wires to the lugs and the Black to the hot?
