Hi Guys, Just looking for a little guidance. I've got myself some American Standard PUPS for an upgrade/ first build project but am not sure of the correct wiring. The diagrams I've looked at show the white wires going to ground but pictures of loaded USA pickguards/scratchplates on google show the yellow, red & blue wires going to ground with the whites going to the 5 way switch. Which is correct? Personally the colours going to ground would suit me better as they all reach the first tone pot for ground whereas the previous owner has cut the whites a little short so I'd need to extend them. Does it make a difference which goes to ground? Forever in your debt. JV

You can wire them either way. The trick is, ALL have to be wired with the same polarity. Notwithstanding, the way your pickups were meant to be installed is where all the white wires should go to the switch. The other colors are there to tell you which pickup goes where. Specifically, the blue is the neck pickup, the yellow is the middle pickup and the red is the bridge pickup.
