Hi guys. Just got myself a rails type strat pickup. Have a few questions. I'll be bringing the guitar to a luthier to get the pickups installed, do I still need to bring a wiring diagram for him? If I do, does anyone have one for this pickup? For position 4, I want the middle pickup on and the rails pickup split. And lastly, which pots should I replace? I've read that 500k pots are the best match for these. Do I have to replace all three? Sorry I really don't have a clue regarding this. TIA! :)

In your case, you should buy a super 5 way switch instead of the regular alpha 5 way switch. Thus, you can do the splitting you'd like to happen. Another option is using the regular 5 way switch but use a push and pull pot.
Do-it-yourself tirada!

sa mga nakasubok na po, how do artec single coils compare to pickups like the ones on an sx strat or other generic strats? masarap ba sa tenga yung in-between neck and mid pickup position nya? yun lang kasi habol ko and ang budget ko ay pang artec lang.

Check the reading using a multimeter. High output dpat ang dualrails. Most likely sira ang isang rail niyan. Pag ang reading is paiba iba or dead yung isang rail isoli mo yan sira yan

for comments po ninyo..

i'm planning to change pick-ups sa isang project guitar na tele.

dual rails ang balak ko ilagay both in the neck and bridge position.

is this a bad idea?

Is Artec HBB-XBB good for an alder body type guitar? I've heard that it has lot's of high frequency,.Kung ilalagay nyo ho bah siya sa Alder body would it make a good sound.? Naubusan na ho kasi ng DARKSTAR dito sa cebu, at ito na lng ang humbucker nah available for my washburn. Help please anyone?

Just got a used Artec dual rail for a Tele's bridge position. Would anyone know the color coding for this pickup? Not planning to do any coil tapping so I just need to know which leads need to be connected for a series wired humbucker. Salamat!
I'd rather be sharp than flat.

Recently wired one as well. I believe they followed Seymour Duncan's color code.

Red & white = soldered together and taped off/insulated
Black = hot, soldered to switch
Green = ground, soldered to ground with the bare wire

**If you get an out of phase sound with the neck pickup, just switch the black and green wires to get the correct phase. :)
