Yeah, I've got the Fireball, little brother of the Powerball, so you're pretty close.

Unfortunately, the only news I have is that I do believe I've fucked up the wiring, and I'll just have to and do it again. Oh well.

VforVendetta00 is just really niceVforVendetta00 is just really nice
just a note from johan:

for series wiring
Red and yellow together solder and tape.

Blue= Hot.
Green and silverbraid to ground.

i had to email him to find out how to wire it. pickup manufacturers should make one way to color them the industry standard.

Ah, bueno!

I see where it's wrong now, but to avoid any further mistakes, could anyone tell me which colours correspond to this, which has DiMarzios as stock? That would be a huge help. Thanks in advance!

I blame this dastardly 1527, out of all the guitars I've wired, this is the one that has given me the most headaches.

It seems to me like:

DiMarzio --> Lundgren
braid --> braid
green --> green
white --> red
black --> yellow
red --> blue


The white/black --> red/yellow relationship might be reversed. But if Lundgren's ground is green and their hot is blue, everything else seems right.

The easiest way to check is to use a multimeter. On a DiMarzio, green and white are the two ends of one coil, and black and red are the two ends of the other one. Touch a meter to the ends of each of those coils, and you should get a closed circuit.

If you touch green and red on the Lundgren and dont' get a closed circuit, then the yellow wire is the other end of the coil that starts with the green wire.

Alrighty, sorry about no updates.

Had to send the guitar to a tech, it just wasn't working for me. Turned out the switch on the guitar was bollocksed.

Anyway, all is good now, and the M7 sound phenominal!
