Wiring Pickups - Grizzly H8068 Owner's Manual

Wiring Pickups

This guitar comes with a control plate that has
most of the components soldered in place. You
only need to solder the pickup wires onto the
three way switch and volume control. If done
incorrectly, soldering the wires may cause dam-
age to the components. If you are unsure of your
skills; do your research, practice on scrap wires,
or take it to a professional.
