I want to replace pickups that I have in a Squire with some older MIM pickups I have sitting around. The wires coming from one of the three pickups is yellow, I can't remember if this pickup was one that was the middle RW pickup. Does anybody have any information. The pickups alll seem to have 5 K ohm, This is the only things that makes sense to me.

Thanks

Mark

You can test the magnets polarity.

If the tops of two pickups repulse each other, then they have the same magnetic polarity. If they attract, then they have different magnetic polarity. That kind of testing will let you know if you have any RWRP pickups and which one is the middle one (it will be attracted to both the neck and bridge pickups).

Then all you have to do is make sure you wire them correctly!
