Here's some random noodling on the McCarty with the MT's in it.... Warning: 80's content! :D

Well I finally got around to wiring up the McCarty last night with the MT pickups... I wanted to say thanks again to Garrett and the rest of you all for holding my hand through this process :) Ended up using the Whites and Reds as my Hots and Grounds and then the Black as the coil tap (Single...

Thanks man,.. I'm going to give this a whirl this weekend ... see how it goes..

Hi guys! Hope this is in the correct forum...wasn't sure if it belonged in the Tech forum or not (?) Anyways,.. I have a set of 8515 MT pickups that we're looking to install into a McCarty 594 and I'm having quite a difficult time finding the specific wiring color codes for these pickups...
