A diagram showing the wiring of a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Shown are the humbucker pickups with individual tone and volume controls (T and V, respectively), 3-way pickup selector switch, tone capacitors that form a passive low-pass filter, the output jack and connections between those components. The top right shows a modification that ...
The Stratocaster set of Vintage Noiseless pickups comes packaged with two 1 MΩ potentiometers ("pots") and a 0.022 μF capacitor for tone controls, [11] one 500 kΩ pot for volume control, a 680 pF capacitor and a 220 kΩ resistor for a treble bleed circuit, [12] and a wiring diagram. [13]
Three-position pickup selector switch (neck, neck and bridge, bridge), two-position phase shift switch (in phase, out of phase) which operates only when both pickups are selected (middle position).

Modern: 1) neck pickup only, with no treble cutoff; 2) neck and bridge; 3) bridge pickup only. The Fender Esquire has a variation to the Vintage wiring scheme by using the scheme on a single pickup. This gives a treble cutoff in the first position, normal in the middle position, and a tone control cutoff in the third position.
A humbucker, humbucking pickup, or double coil, is a guitar pickup that uses two wire coils to cancel out noisy interference from coil pickups. Humbucking coils are also used in dynamic microphones to cancel electromagnetic hum. Humbuckers are one of two main types of guitar pickups. The other is called a single coil.
Humbuckers: Two coils work together to reduce noise and give a thicker sound. Split coil pickups : Found on certain bass guitars, these have two separate coils, each "listening" to different strings. For example, on a bass with four strings, one coil handles the lower two strings, and the other handles the higher two.
By early 1955, the design was completed. Rather than routing two single coil pickups in parallel, Lover had "routed two coils with opposite wind and polarity together in series, which caused each coil to cancel out the other’s hum." [2] The design was given the part code P-490 [5] and in June 1955, Lover and Gibson filed a joint patent. [1]
The Squier Telecaster Custom II includes two Duncan Designed P-90 pickups instead of humbuckers. Both models have 22 fret maple necks and were originally offered in either yellow or black with 3 ply black-white-black scratch plates. Controls on both models consist of two tone and two volume controls with a three way toggle switch on the upper bout.
