Depends.

Are they 2-wire or 4-wire? Do you want coil splitting or not? What sort of switching combinations do you want? Not enough info in your post to make a recommendation.

Well, you better find out fast how many wires they have because you need 4 per pickup for coil splitting.

What did you order? It should have said how many wires the pickup has.

If this is what you bought, they are probably 4-wire. But you will know when you get them.

Hey Bill, I got the pups today. They are 2 wires, 1 bare and 1 covered. This is a MIJ Strat that has taken a back seat to a MIJ Strat & a Highway One Tele. Maybe it will move up on the peckin' order after I finsh this project.

I e-mailed the seller, he said they are single conductor humbuckers. He said colored wire to switch and ground to pot. 3-way switch.

Insulated wire to switch, bare wire to ground.
