6. Rotate the selector switch so the red wire

that leads to the neck pickup is towards the
front of the guitar.

7. Flip the guitar over and secure the selector

switch with the 12MM nuts and washers.

8. Feed the black ground wire through to the

tremolo cavity on the H6086, or to the bridge
insert hole for the Model H6082 and H6083.

9. Install the back cover plate over the electron-

ics cavity.

This guitar comes with a wiring harness that has
most of the components soldered in place. You
only need to solder in the pickup wires onto the
three way switch. Soldering the wires may cause
damage to the components if done incorrectly. If
you are unsure of your skills; do your research,
practice on scrap wires, or take it to a profes-
sional.
