- White = Hot (to switch or to input lug of volume pot depending on wiring scheme of guitar)
- Black and Bare wire = Ground (solder to back of pot or to common ground connection)
- Blue and Red = Solder together and insulate for series continuity link between coils for standard humbucker functionality.
My memory may be wrong though, so you would be best to check with a meter, but you might be able to get a more immediate impression of whether this is correct by temporarily twisting the red and blue together, taping the black and bare to the sleeve of a guitar cable's plug, and taping the white to the tip of the plug. If the "thunk" when you tap the pickup lightly with a screwdriver is of the expected loudness and much the same as another humbucker equipped guitar plugged in and the pickup tapped then it's probably correct.Bare to red 5.56
Bare to black 0
Bare to white
Bare to blue 0.02
the only other reading I can get is
Red to blue 5.56
Not too sure but maybe an issue with the pickup?
The first thing I would do is strip about an inch more of the outer sleeving from the cable and make sure all the wires are definitely separated from each other, then try the resistance readings again. Ideally you should have two pairs of 5.56K each.
