[britpoper]

Hi chaps

Just got my self a pair of gfs vintage 59s for my dot I have not got a clue where any of the wires go.

I used this diagram on my 59s.

The colors might be different, but the SD diagram is easier to follow than the one that comes with the Vintage 59s.

I was just going to connect to my old pup wire .I don t really want to mess with the switches.

 

Thanks

Do a search for coil split mod. I posted wiring diagram links for the push/pull pots.

 

The GFS Vintage 59 is a 4 wire humbucker (5 if you count the silver shield wire).

silver shield = ground

black = ground

white = end of N coil (connect to red - no contact for humbucker' date=' ground for single coil)

green = + positive

red = end of S coil (connect to white - no contact for humbucker, ground for single coil)

 

Good luck. The V59 is one terrific 'bucker.

 

Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on:-"

I used this diagram to split a set of Vintage 59s on a G-400 and it worked great. I got some Alpha push/pull pots from GFS. I was told they are a little smaller than the CTS ones, so they fit into the cavities easier. It was definitely a tight fit in my G-400.

that diagram is very different to what i ended up using. i copied the tone pot from a guitar i had with a push pull pot. it worked but it is too dark sounding as it is 250k pot. i have disconnected it as a tone pot and am using it as a switch only. i have just ordered some 1 meg vol pots and will see where i go from there.
