Pick Up Help

Does anyone know where to find the diagram that shows how to install a Gibson pick up in an Epiphone? Since there are four wires in a Gibson pickup as opposed to two on the Epiphones.

 

I had someone install the 498t in my G-400 but would like to do the next upgrade myself. I've installed a P-90 before so I know I can do it, and my dad rebuilds radios and is great with electrons. I know he could figure it out but I want to be 100% sure!

 

Thanks

The instructions that come with a Gibson pickup include a diagram that explains which wires need to be connected where. Essentially you need to connect the green and white wires together (and insulate them) and connect the red wire to the volume pot tab and the black wire plus the bare shield wire to ground (solder them to the back of the volume pot). Be careful, however; there's an error in one of the diagrams: the coil tap diagram is missing a ground connection on the switch.
