Hey guys, I just got a Dimarzio humbucker and I'm gonna install it on my guitar. Its a 3way switch set up. My questions are..

Where is the HOT connection they state in the manual?
When they say Ground the green and white, do they mean to the back of the guitar?

I only have experience in installing seymour duncans so if can reference to those diagrams will help alot please....Thanks!
 
Dimarzio humbucker pup normally has 4 conductor and run best in series. The colour code : Red (Hot), Black joint with the White and Green to ground. Option are abundance, where you could install a push/pull pot or DPDT switch to utilised it fully where you could get both single and humberbucker. Can also do a phase reversal switch to have option with the tone. So, it's about preference what you like to have.

Hope that help.

Saluti!

K guys done!

After a few trails and error its finally installed and operating well!

Thanks for all the help.....The dimarzio diagram didn't really help cos my pups are soldered directly to the potentiometer.....but I figured it out anyway, thanks for all your help!
