Jello,
I bought a set of Fender Fidelitrons out of a Tele Cabronita, I'm confused about wiring them in Ibanez ART100. The Tele uses one pot. I see TV Jones often wiring without tone pots.

What would these pickups be like wired with 500K pots, 1 volume, 2 tones with .0033uf caps ? or .0022? I saw the Cabronita wired with the S1 switch, 2 x .0033 caps parallel and 1- .0033 + .001 parrallel. My guess is that puts the caps on and off, and I'm unsure which cap values go to which pickup?

Any help, confused how to wire this....How should I wire this? I would like to use 1V and 2T pots... tx

I see no answer from 10th of july , here's mine;

Any pickup can be wired with the number of tone pots or volume pots you want.
It is a matter of taste.

You need all the time a cap for a tone pot. You can use same value from you Ibanez to start.

First, a warning: I'm no wiring guru. 8)

But I think this diagram shows you how to wire the guitar (it's a 1.1Meg pdf-file):

Just forget about the extra wires for the humbuckers (red/white/green) and go with HOT/GROUND ideology. And TV Jones seems to favor .022μF on Filtertrons.

Can't help you with how the pickups sound in your Ibanez, though... :wink:

I see 2 wires on Fidelitron not four , wiring is like any single coil pickups.
