Thank you for choosing Gunstreet. below is the instructions for a our 50s harnesses. Remember at any time during install your can email us with any questions!

For this instruction we will be using the common braided wire style pickup lead

pro tip: only tighten down the Switch and output jack when installing the kit. it will give you more freedom to move everything around when installing key spots

Step 1: Lets start by soldering the bridge pickups hot to the very first lug on the volume pot. (H1 on your diagram)

Step 2: Next we will solder the braided part of the pickup wire to the casing, making sure that there is a good amount of cloth between the braided part and the hot you just soldered in step 1

Repeat these steps but on the neck volume with the neck pickup

Step 3:Next you want to take the ground wire coming from your guitars tailpeice and solder it to the casing of any pot. on this guitar the neck tone was closest

pro tip: Depending on your sg the pickup cavity hole may be very close to the switch you want to make sure that the braided wire of the pickups is no where close to the metal. with this guitar we routed the wires around the switch to make sure it is not touching.
