Dynadude Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm not familiar with any type of plugs being used in Gibson wiring. That has me kind of stumped. Normally, the shielding will ground to the cover of the volume pot, and the internal wire will go to one of the tabs on the pot. You should be able to determine which one from the way the original pickup is wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
