Wiring the Pickups
This guitar comes with a wiring harness that has most of the components soldered in place. You only need to solder in the pickup wires onto the three way switch. Soldering the wires may cause damage to the components if done incorrectly. If you are unsure of your skills; do your research, practice on scrap wires, or take it to a profes- sional.
