In this post, you’ll find the details to wire a set of DiMarzio Virtual Vintage54 Pro pickups in a standard Strat configuration with a slight modification. There is one master volume and two tone controls, one for the neck and middle pickups and one for the bridge pickup. All of the pots are 250K Ohms, and a good starting point for the tone capacitor is 0.02 microfarads. The selector is a standard five-way blade switch. As with all DiMarzio four-wire humbuckers, the red wire is the “hot,” the green wire goes to the ground, and the black & white wires are soldered together.

Our resident electronics wizard came by his skills honestly — first as an apprentice in his father’s repair shop, later as a working musician and (most recently) as a sound designer for film. His passion for guitar led him to Humbucker Soup, where he continues to decode the wonders of wiring and the vicissitudes of voltage. Ed has never taken his guitar to a shop — he already knows how to fix it.
