I have a Gibson/Epiphone Dot and bought a Gibson 57
classic and 57 Classis plus humbucker pickups. The
pickups only have one connection which the instructions
say to attach to volume pot or pickup switch. Will this
make the pickups nonfunctional with the tone control on
my DOT or is it wired for it already? I’d appreciate any
help.
Thanks ahead of time.

If you strip the wire back, the core gets attached in one place, and the metal shielding on the outside gets soldered to another. I don’t have my guitar in front of me to tell you exact locations, but this is how it is wired. To clarify, just strip enough of the shielding to connect the core to the right place. For the shielding connection, push the whole wire against the pot, and solder it. Sounds strange, but that it. If you email me, I can give you more explicit instructions. I just installed one of these about a month ago.
