Dot Studio 3 way selector + new pickup

[MaxRadin]

Hi all-

I'm new to this but wanted to try a different pickup in my Dot Studio which has a single volume/tone and a 3-way selector switch. I'm have a p90 for the neck for now to try it out (SD Phat Cat--humbucker sized p90). I stumbled upon this schematic --

http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2singlecoils1vol1tone1switch -- pretty close I believe. I wondered

a) if it's a matter of wiring the pickup up to the 3 way switch and leaving the wiring to the pots as is?

:- where does the black go? to ground? back of one of the pots?

I think I understand the part about hooking up surgical tubing/dental floss to everything beforehand so that's it's easier to put it all back together but it seems as if this might be easier than I first thought.

many thanks

Yes' date=' that's exactly correct.

The ground wire from the pickup goes to the ground lug on the switch. The 'hot' lead goes to the relevant switch terminal.

I was able to replace pickups on two Dot Studios by pulling out only the 3-way

switch; there was enough slack wire. Went very quickly.

That's great news - thanks for the replies.
