Is this the switch you have?

If so it is wired like this:

If a new switch came with the pickups, just use the new one and wire it according to the new diagram.

Ok, I have never seen a switch like that but it doesn't matter. The Vintage Noiseless pickups have two wires: one is black and the other is white or yellow. The black wires should all be soldered to ground, usually to the back of the volume pots. As far as the other wires, just follow the wires from your exisiting pickups to the switch and solder the remaining wire from the VNs to the same spot. Problem solved.

Hmm alright I'll have to give it a try thanks.


Its not rocket science. You are swapping three pickups for three pickups. You are using the same switch (I am assuming). The three black wires all go to one place. The remaining wires on the VNs go to the exact same lug that the other wires did for each pickup.

No not rocket science but since I'm using the same switch yes but not the same tone or volume or other small parts I'm using what it came with the pack only the switch I'm using of the old, What is the VNs ? ,Nevertheless something did not workout and end up with not all stitch positions working, So I'm thinking on trying to find and buy a switch that has a schematic to follow better.


"VNs" = Vintage Noiseless :shock:

I'll be honest, if you can't follow the original wiring between pickups, pots, and the switch and install the new parts based on that, then I suggest you take your guitar to someone who knows what they are doing. Good luck.
