Changing pickups in GRX-20


Yeah i know it's garbage, but i got pickups for cheap on **** a V1 and "V2".

The V1 pickup is has the "V1" writen on it but the V2 does not, but it does look an awefull lot like this pickup...

Does anyone know what the back of the pickup should look like? The V1 has the screws going straight through and this "V2" does not...

But my main problem is that the "V2" pickup has two extra wires a blue and yellow wire which i have no idea what to do with. The old crappy powersound only had a red white and uncoated wires, Any suggestions?

I can't seem to find info on any pickup with a blue wire instead of a black one, does anyone know anything about this?

Re: Changing pickups in GRX-20


Sorry to triple post but i'm really having trouble wiring this together. I have figure out that i have two V1's, a normal one with 3 wires a Red, White, and unsheilded (like the V2 in the bellow diagram)...

And this (V1-R) one with five wires...



My guitar is wired like this with the standard pickups although mine didn't have the red wires.



Could someone pretty please look at these and tell me how to wire up V1-R (5 wires) as the bridge on my guitar and the 3 wire V1 as the neck as i have no clue. Currently the 5 wire V1 has the blue and yellow wires soldered together.

Thanks.

Re: Changing pickups in GRX-20


Connect red to where your white currently is (signal wire), connect black and blue together, connect yellow with the bare shield (ground) to where your bare ground connection is now.

(If the coils end up in parallel instead of series, you can reverse the blue and yellow.)

You won't be able to coil split that way (just as you couldn't with the 2-wire pickups). You could wire it more like the first picture and have more switching options, but if you just want the same thing, this should work fine.
