In this post, you’ll find the details needed to wire up a set of Gibson HB pickups. This configuration is fairly straightforward. Each pickup has a volume control, and there is one master tone. All three of these pots are 500K ohms. The pickup selector in this case is a standard toggle switch, just as you would find in a Gibson Les Paul. The white wire is the “hot,” the black wire goes to the ground, and the red & green wires are soldered together.
