    Hi team,
    I just bought this pickup set on eBay for my resonator guitar. Cheap enough, but no instructions. I can work out where to place the actual pickup, but I've no idea about how to wire it. Advice much appreciated, more pics or details available if required. Thanks in advance!

    Do you have a link to the ad?

    Is this kit expecting you to drill holes into the guitar for the volume/tone pots?

    Fitting the pots and actual pickup is no problems, it's just the wiring that's puzzling me. I can remove the little mini jack from the pickup. Then I'll have a centre plus earth, also there's a centre plus earth coming from the pot assembly. I could probably work it out by trial and error, but I'd rather not take the chance. The original adjust showed a pic similar to mine and the seller had no info on fitting

    'Ad' not 'adjust' typo
