I have the owners manual stored away. If I remember correctly the diagram is in the manual. Replacement pickup? I am not sure what you are asking.

I have the manual. It covers alot, but no wiring diagram.
Called Fender, they cant help.

If I need to replace the humbucker, what would be the best replacement for the original?

I have my original pickup/guard assembly stored away because that pickup does not like my Marshall's hi-gain...squeals like a pig! I had WD make a new guard with a single hole routered for a standard humbucker. Then I wired it for just a volume and pickup...nothing else. You don't need all that crazy wiring dude....keep it simple. I used a Seymour Duncan JB in mine and it now has balls! I can crank this guitar up like a Les Paul...it screams!

Can you be talked into selling your pickguard?

If not, can I prevail upon you to sketch out the wiring and email me a scan?

Im really looking to return this to an original state...

I need to keep it for my Lead in the case I ever sell it...I probably won't ever get rid of it. However, I can dig out the pickguard assembly out of storage and take a picture of it if that will help. What happened to your wiring as to need the diagram? If you are interested..you can see my Leads in the "show us your other Fender" pictures post.

I just purchased this, with repairing it in mind. Only one p/u of the humbucker works, and the two toggles make no sense...the wiring is incredibly sloppy. Obviously messed with.

A photo would be great, but if I could pevail upon you to sketch a wiring diagram, that would be way better.

My Lead One looks to be factory routed for a neck p/u.
Same with yours?

Thanks again, Rob

Awesome! I was dreading digging through storage to find mine. This is way better than what I would have drawn.
