G0RD0 Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I have SG standard with 498/490's. In order to split coils I should have 4 wires running from each Humbucker right? but they are wired in and there are only 2 wires coming out. Is it still possible to configure theses as split coils? I have a wiring diagam and I know what to buy for push pull pots...just wondering if I need to replace the PU's. G0rd0
flyingarmadillo Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 The after market 498/490s are supposed to be 4 wire, but the factory installed 498s are two wire according to the pickups webpage. So there may be a way to break into them and rewire as 4 conductors. I would assume from the wiring diagrams that they just cut the green and white wires and soldered them together inside the pickup. But, I don't know whether it would be cheaper to rewire them as 4 wire or to just buy an after market 4 wire set.
