Noobie (maybe) guitar wiring question about using coil tap pickups but not wanting to coil tap
blink574
Frets: 0
Hi all,
I have these exact Artec pickups, and am using this wiring diagram, alongside another one. However, as I have a blade switch and not a toggle, and am not wanting to use the coil tap element, I'm getting quite confused! Can anyone explain to me what wires should go where?
Sorry if this has been asked a million times before!
Please excuse my horrendous wiring, I'm very new to this!

You need to either tape over or drastically shorten the bare wire from the bridge pickup so it can't short against the pot terminals. (I'd do the neck one too, although I don't think it can touch anything.)
Everything else looks functional, if not pretty
I assume you've deliberately left the second tone control unconnected.
