and aschleman what if it's a 4 wire humbucker? :D

I assumed we were talking about a basic wire job. Normally 4-wire humbuckers are only used in applications that you would like to split the humbucker... So I listed the most common configurations. I'm pretty sure if the bucker he has is out of a Japanese made LP that it's either a 1 or a 2 wire bucker.

BUT... since you asked... In the case of a 4 wire bucker... it's just the same as a 2 wire bucker except you hav 2 hot wires and 2 groudns. One for each individual single coil that makes up the bucker. To wire this in a normal applicaiton you would simply use the same diagram as a 2 wire... Connecting both hots to the hot point... and both grounds to the ground point. If you desire a split coil application... do some research and consult a tech.
