There should be little tabs coming off of the pot. That is where you should solder the wires. Your best bet is to take it to someone and let them look at it. They may tell you where things go, then you can take it home and solder things up.

I guess this would help :wink: I recomend that you do it yourself. I didn`t know much about soldering before I did all the wiring on a Les Paul.

That's the one. Be aware, if you are new to this, that the colors on the wires coming from the humbucker will change from manufacturer to manufacturer. Check with the pickup maker's website which colored wires go where.

Good luck - C
