Hi all, my first post!

I'm planning on swapping the pickups on my
Artcore AG85, for a Seymour Duncan Jazz/JB combination. I know several of you have already been down that road. Looking inside with a mirror the pups seem to need long wires direct to the knobs, not short ones direct to the toggle switch. Complicated!

So ... question ... has anyone put to gether a "How To" containing a wiring diagram and maybe a few step by step photos? Is there an "official" wire diag for the artcore series?

I searched the forum but alas could not find ...

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

So it looks like you pull the caps of the volume control, unscrew the nut, push the pot into the body and then pull the pot out of the F-hole with a hook, unsolder the pup, replace the pup with the new one, catch the wires and solder onto the pot. Put the pot back where it came from.

Is that about it?
