Right, I am looking to put some Bare Knuckle pickups into my Les Paul...what I need to know is this...the pickups I am looking at come standard with 4 conductor wiring...however, I am not looking to use this feature ( I dont want to split the coils, or run series/parallel) I merely want to use them with 2 of the conductors...is this possible, or do I need to buy a pickup with 2 conductors as standard? I understand very little about this sort of thing, so if anyone can help that would be appreciated.

It may be worth while to run 4 conductors with push/pull switch...I dunno why, but more versatile cant be a bad thing, can it? how much more would I expect a tech to charge to install a push/pull pot and a pickup as to just the pickups?
