Black and white are the 2 wires you want. The red wire (at least on the XR-16 I put into a Mullen I used to have) is for adding a switch to switch it from humbucker to single coil. You wire a spst switch to the red wire with the other side of the switch going to ground (I used the ground lug on the jack - it was a single neck, so no terminal strip). If you don't want the ability to "split" the coils, ignore the red wire. Tape off the end, or cut it off. I don't remember if black or white is ground, or if it matters. _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup,Regal RD40 Dobro, NV400, NV112 .

Be advised that if you wire it for the single coil option, that sound will give you a brighter tone, but a noticeable drop in volume, |

When I put the XR-16 in the Mullen I had, the drop in volume in single coil mode wasn't that much of a drop in volume. Some, but not enough to be a problem. The single coil sound was a little brighter, but not bad. It has a nicer tone than in humbucker mode, more lively with more "ring". Best of both worlds. When I can afford it, I want to put XR-16 pickups into my Carter D10. I have 710's in it now, but they don't have the split coil option. _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup,Regal RD40 Dobro, NV400, NV112 .
