Re: off topic : carvin pick up wiring instructions...



Hi Olivier,
 
the white wire on Carvin PUs is just two wires soldered together already at the PU and lead out with only one wire.
So, red is the +pole of one coil, black is the -pole of the other coil and white is the ( humbucking ) connection between the two coils:
 
                     coil 1               coil 2
                    +       -             +      -
                     I       I________I       I
                    red           I            black
                                white
 
Connect either red or black to hot/the PU selector and the other to ground depending if you wish to have an in-phase or out-of-phase sound with your other pickup(s). >>> Same colors means in-, different colors means out-of-phase.
If you connect white to ground ( or to a switch toggeling between on and ground ) you'd get a single coil sound with the one coil on that's connected to hot/the PU selector. If you don't wish to have a single coil sound just tape the white wire and leave it unconnected.
 
Best wishes
