Nothing more dangerous than a novice with a soldering iron!.
I replaced a pickup in one of my guitars that had 5 wire coil tapped humbucker with a three wire (black, white and ground).
The factory schematic has the black and ground to the pot and the white to the middle "eyelet" however the original pickup was wired white to the far right eyelet with the middle wire going to the coil tap.
I do not want the coil tap but do not mind it being in the circuit.
1. Does it make a difference which eyelet I use?
(I used the far right and it sounds fine)
2. Should I simply double solder to the middle eyelet keeping the coil tap wire?
Thanks in advance
