Let’s start with how to install pickups in a vintage Stratocaster. DiMarzio single coils include the Red Velvet, Utopia, and the FS-1. DiMarzio uses a couple of different colors for the Hot in their single-coil pickups, including red, white, and yellow, with red being the most popular. The black wire is always the Ground. Single-coil pickups always...
The Fender Telecaster is another very common single-coil guitar, not all that different from the Fender Stratocaster. These pickups often come with the unique baseplate built-in. Examples of Telecaster pickups made by DiMarzio include The Chopper T, Twang King, and the Area T. These two-wire pickups often use white for the Hot and black for the Gro...
P90 pickups are Gibson’s answer to the single-coil. These pickups look similar to humbuckers, but the single row of posts often gives them away as P90s. P90s are also about the same size as humbuckers, and often, you can swap out one for the other. Popular DiMarzio P90 pickups include the Fantom P90, the Vintage P90, and the DP210 Tone Zone. These ...

Originally, however, most humbuckers only had a single conductor with a braided shield, like P90 pickups, and could be installed the same way. One popular single condu...
As we mentioned with vintage-style humbuckers, most modern humbuckers also have four colored wires and one bare to allow you to make modifications. For example, you can wire the coils out of phase or coil-split, which we’ll talk about next. The wires correspond to the beginning and end of each coil, and this is called the wiring code. Each brand us...
The humbucker coil-splitting modification is the last thing we’ll cover in this guide. You can only split modern humbuckers that have four wires. The modification makes use of the white and black wires that we twist together in a standard installation. You will also need to change one of your Tone controls into a push-pull pot. Once you have the pu...
As you can see, you install most pickups the same way. Often, the biggest difference is the number or color of the wires, and once you have memorized the few variations, you can install any pickup DiMarzio makes. We hope you have enjoyed reading over this guide and that it’s helped you get your pickups installed. If you’ve found it informative, ple...
