+ 4-Wire Humbucker

+ BS-DS Bisonic with tap 

+ Jaguar Series PHase Mod 

 

A general rule for wiring:

The dark, cold color wires (Black, Green, Blue) go to ground.

The bright, hot color wires (White, Yellow, Red, Orange) go to the hot side.

4 Wire Humbucker

South coil:  Black=Start  White=End

North  coil:  Green=Start  Red=End

Wiring a 4 wire humbucker in series so when you split the coils you get the north coil of the neck and the south coil on the bridge making them humcancel when both pickup engaged 

Neck Pickup:
Tie Red and White wires together.
Send Green to ground and Black to hot.

Bridge Pickup:
Tie Black and Green together.
Send White to ground and Red to hot

To engage the coil splits, attach the tied wires to one side of the switch and the ground on the other so when it is switched on it sends the tied wires to ground.

BS-DS Bisonic with tap  

Bare, Black and Green all go to ground

Red is the full coil

White is the tap.

Sent the white and the red to either side of a switch to alternate between full coil at tap.

"I didn't even want to say because I love them so much that I don't want everyone to have em..! For musical feedback its up in the wizard area!"

Marc Ford - (The Black Crowes, The Magpie Salute)

"I asked curtis to come up with a lipstick for the middle and a stealth neck humbucker for my missingmen guitarman tom watson's jazzmaster. both are beautiful buttloads of sonic giving more vocabulary to express himself - we both bow big time in curtis' direction."

on bass, Watt

"Last night, onstage with my dad (Randy Bachman, from BTO) in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I had my first opportunity to plug in Excalibur with Curtis's pickup inside. I do not say this lightly, but I was amazed and thrilled. So was the whole band... What I like most of all is that there is a certain 'airiness', a certain 'liveliness', there which is just awesome. This pickup has legitimately hit the sweet spot between 'hot rod excitement' and musicality. It's staying in the SG forever. Thanks, Curtis!"

Tal Bachman

"Using this pickup in my Fender it feels like every element of the tone is simply there -- clear, well-defined low end, robust mids and highs that have a wonderfully smooth presence -- all unhindered, immediate and full. Thanks Curtis for building my dream Precision pickup!"

Byron House (Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Robert Plant)
