Guitar Kit World kits that use this wiring

If your kit is not on this list, count the knobs and switch positions on your own control cavity before you solder anything. A different control count needs a different diagram.

Before you start

  • Wire colors change between production batches. Match by position, not by color.
  • All grounds run to the bridge ground, as marked on the diagram.
  • Check continuity with a multimeter before you string the guitar up.
  • Tin your wire ends and the pot backs first. It makes every joint after that easier.

Cannot find a diagram for your kit? We will draw one for you

If you are building a Guitar Kit World kit, you will get a wiring diagram. Every time. If nothing in our library matches your electronics, send us photos of your control cavity, your pickups and your switch, and we will draw a diagram specific to your build.

Send your photos to support@guitarkitworld.com with your order number or kit SKU.

Clear, well lit photos get a faster answer. We need to see the back of the pots, the switch terminals, and the wires coming out of each pickup.

Building a kit from somewhere else? Our builder community wiring section is open to everyone, whether you bought from us or not.
