Help me wire my new pickups!


Iv'e just recieved a dimarzio chopper in the post,
my guitar is a yamaha pacifica. i have no knowledge of wiring pickups whatsoever so i hope you guys can help.

from the current neck pickup there is one red cable, a bare wire and a white wire come out of this. the bare wire goes to the metal casing of the volume pot while the white wire goes to a terminal on the pickup switch.

from my new dimarzio pickup there is one large black cable, a red wire, a green and bare wire (soldered together), a black wire and a white wire (
both soldered together and taped up.

if someone could be kind enough to explain which wire replaces which i would be very greatfull.

According to DiMarzio (http://www.dimarzio.com/media/diagrams/A2.pdf), the green (and bare wire) goes to earth on the volume pot, the red goes to the terminal on the switch. Leave the black and white soldered together and taped (so they can't short out).
