I have a 2003 Les Paul Classic (no coil split).
Bought a used set of "Burstbucker 61r and 61t".
What I did:
- Each has one RED wire.
I soldered these to the volume pots, to the very same lugs where the stock humbuckers used to sit at.
- Then each of them also has a BLACK and a "SILVER" wire, intertwined / soldered together from the former owner, or from factory.
Those I soldered to ground (back of pots).
(There is also a sleave with a white and a green wire, that I haven't touched, since I think it is just the connection of the coils for option of coil splitting).
RESULT:
Very thin sounding. Not a question of taste.
Sounds like some sort of phase cancellation.
WHAT IS THE CORRECT WIRING?
