Hey
Swapping humbuckers usually means figuring out what colour wires on the new pickup correspond with those on the old pickup.
I made a little website to make it a bit easier.
Choose your existing pickup, choose your new pickup, and you can see how the wire colours correspond.
This is brand new so let me know if you’ve any issues.

So, rather than just posting the results and correct answers, I added the info to a post at the link below. That way, folks can have a listen for themselves before seeing the answers/results.…

Hey Mike
Have never seen a TBX quite like this and I don’t remember seeing one of those ‘extra lug’ pots used in a guitar but this does make some sense.
The extra lug on a pot like this is generally a centre tap — a connection right into the middle of the resistive track. So, between the extra lug and lug 1 will read half the total resistance and…

One possibility (relatively likely if we don’t assume distortion) is a boost of some kind. It’s probably one of the more common on-board effects. It could be an across-the-board boost…
