How to install

This instruction works for a Modern or Volume Bleed kit

Tips for an easy installation

  • Always reach out if you have questions, or need any help troubleshooting. We are the pros.
  • Test fit before soldering. Contact us if you have any issues
  • Never remove heatshrink. It's designed to be there
  • when soldering take small breaks inbetween your joints to let you iron heat back up
  • once installed. Test the controls by lightly tapping your pickup(s) with a metal object
  • Never force a knob on that doesn't fit. This can kill your pot.

STARTING WITH THE SWITCH WIRES

Before we start. Lets talk about the switch color code.

  • Red/N = Rhythm/Neck
  • Yellow/O = Outjack Jack
  • Blue/B = Bridge
  • Black/G = Ground

Don't install the pots in the guitar yet, instead fish the switch wires through the cavity.

Solder the Blue "B Bridge wire to the hole labelled "Bridge"

Next, solder the Yellow O" output wire to the hole labelled "Output"

Solder the Red "N" Neck wire to the hole labelled "Neck"

Lastly, Solder the black ground wire to the hole labelled "Ground 2." Take note that we are leaving "Ground 1" open. we will not be using it. 

Install the switch into the cavity.

Before we start

In these Instruction photos we will be using Seymour Duncan's Color Code.

  • Black = Hot "+"
  • Red/White Soldered Together = Series Link "S"
  • Green/Bare soldered together = Ground "-"

Check with your pickups manufacture to learn what color code they use.

Starting with the Bridge pickup

Solder your pickups "Hot/+" to the far left lug on the Volume Pot.

 

Solder the "Series Link/S" to the middle left ug on the push pull. It will be right above the wire soldered to the case

Solder the "Ground/-" to the casing on the Volume Pot.

Repeat these steps with the Neck Pickup on the Neck Volume

Finishing the installation

Solder the wire coming from your guitars Tailpeice to the casing of any pot. On this example the Neck volume was the easiest. If you have Shielded your cavity. Add a jumper wire from the Shielding itself to the wiring harness. Solder the wire to a pot casing just like how we did it with the tailpeice ground wire

And thats it!
