I'm putting a seymour duncan invader into my strat, the diagram on the website says it should be wired like this:

Anyways, I can't tell if the wire that goes from the pickup to the volume is the white one or if it is the bare wire.

Anyone help? lol

it looks like this should be what you need:

ALSO, you should rewire it so you can split the coils on the invader... it sounds awesome as a single coil. It's like a tele, but not quite as much bite.

Actually, I've got a really good idea. Hook it up like that diagram, and use your second tone control as a blended coil split: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/schematics.php?schematic=sum96tip

Does that make sense ?

yea, thanks!

I figured out the diagram... I don't think i'm going to do the blended coil thing... I really don't want to hassle with rewiring more than I really need to haha.

I really think you should go for it... It would definitely be worth a few extra minutes to have it.
