HSH + 5W + VT Wiring Diagram

Humbucker / Single-coil / Humbucker
HSH + 5W + VT

Understanding the color-coded leads
Humbuckers have two coils, with opposite magnetic polarity (North/South facing up). The two ends of each coil wire are connected to the Start lead and the Finish lead. The fifth lead is a bare ground wire (some humbuckers do not have this fifth lead).

Series-linked coils: humbucking
Standard humbucking wiring: solder the red and white leads.

Parallel wiring: stand-alone coils
Allows access to each coil independently, for custom options using a switch.
