The diagram it made was completely off - it showed a picture of a guitar surrounded by 8 humbuckers and way too many wires coming out of each one.

Helping out a friend. He asked this in a Facebook group. I don't trust the yahoos in FB groups, so I thought I'd help him out by asking here. Here's what he wrote: I also asked ChatGPT just to see what it would say (and forwarded it to my friend). Here's what it spit out...

This is pissing me off... How am I supposed to know which one is correct? The one on the left is from the Musiclily site, and the one on the right came with the pickup (bridge). I've read that the Wilkinson pickup wiring diagrams have been incorrect.

Hey - I'm back with more neediness... It seems I only show up here when I need something, but you guys are so helpful! So here's my wiring situation - I'm revamping an old guitar, and it's only going to be using a single Wilkinson PAF style alnico bridge pickup (this one HERE). I want to use...

@Spud And of course, Amy Lee is completely head over heels in love with me. She just doesn't know it yet.

Mary Spender has a pretty good following! Me? I have a (not so) secret crush on Hannah Bolton. Unfortunately, she's also Rabea's girlfriend and there's no way I can compete with his guitar playing abilities.

Big fan of Leo Moracchioli. Just listened to Sultans. I was first turned on to his music by his version of Toto's Africa.
